Face Detection and Face Recognition

If the camera automatically identifies the scene and determines that people appear as subjects in the picture ( or ), Face Detection is activated, and the focus and exposure are adjusted for the recognised faces. (→99)

■Face Recognition

The faces of people who are taken frequently can be registered together with their names, ages, and other information.

If pictures are taken with [FACE RECOG.] (→78) set to [ON], priority is given to the focus and exposure adjustments of the faces close to those that have been registered. Also, the camera memorises detected faces during Face Detection, automatically recognises faces which are taken frequently, and displays them on the face registration screen.
