Mode:

Face Detection and Face Recognition

If the camera automatically identifies the scene and determines that people appear as subjects in the image ( or ), Face Detection is activated, and the focus and exposure are adjusted for the recognized faces. (P.73)

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.’ (P.65) 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 memorizes detected faces during Face Detection, automatically recognizes faces which are taken frequently, and displays them on the face registration screen.

Face Recognition searches for faces close to those that have been registered. Correct recognition of faces cannot be guaranteed.

In some cases, the camera may be unable to correctly distinguish between people with similar facial characteristics, such as parents and children and brothers and sisters. When using Face Recognition, the facial characteristics are extracted for performing recognition, and so this process takes longer than regular Face Detection.

For subjects registered as newborns and infants (people with birthdays set to less than 3 years), is displayed, and the picture will be taken to give the skin a more healthy appearance.
