Registering face pictures

You can facilitate Face Recognition by the way you register faces: for example, register multiple face pictures of the same person (up to 3 pictures in one registration).

■Recording tips when registering face pictures

•Make sure the subject’s eyes are open and mouth closed; have the subject face the camera directly, and make sure the outline of the face, the eyes and eyebrows are not hidden by hair.

•Make sure there are no heavy shadows on the face. (During registration, the flash is not used).

■If the camera seems to have difficulty recognizing faces when recording

•Register additional pictures of the same person’s face, indoors and outdoors or with different expressions or angles.

•Register additional pictures at the place you are recording.

•If a registered person is no longer recognized, re-register that person.

●In some cases, the camera cannot recognize or incorrectly recognizes even registered people depending on their expression or the environment.
