Recording with the Face Recognition function

[FACE RECOG.]

Recording Mode:

To enable the Face Recognition function, register a face picture (→79), or set the automatic registration of face pictures (→82) to [ON]. (The Face Recognition function is not enabled at the time of purchase.)

How the Face Recognition function works

During recording

The camera recognizes a registered face and adjusts focus and exposure

When registered faces that have set names are recognized, the names are displayed (up to 3 people)

When [AUTO REGISTRATION] is [ON], faces that have been recorded many times are recognized and the registration screen is displayed

During playback

The name and age are displayed (if information is registered)

During recording, the names that have been set for the recognized faces are displayed (up to 3 people)

Only pictures of the selected registered people are played back ([CATEGORY PLAY])

[AF MODE] is fixed to(Face Detection).

When Burst is performed, recording information relating to Face Recognition is put only on the first picture.

If you press the shutter button halfway, then point the camera at a different subject and record, recording information for a different person may be put on the picture.

Face Recognition does not work in the following cases:

[CLIPBOARD] Mode, motion picture recording, Scene Modes [TRANSFORM], [PANORAMA ASSIST], [NIGHT SCENERY], [FOOD], [HI-SPEED BURST], [FLASH BURST], [STARRY SKY], [FIREWORKS], [AERIAL PHOTO], [FILM GRAIN],

[UNDERWATER]

Face Recognition searches for faces similar to those registered, but there is no guarantee it will always recognize these faces.

Face Recognition works by looking at certain facial characteristics and as a result takes longer than ordinary Face Detection.

Even if Face Recognition information is registered, pictures recorded when the name is [OFF] are not categorized for Face Recognition in [CATEGORY PLAY].

Even if Face Recognition information is changed (→81), Face Recognition information for previously recorded pictures is not changed.

For example, if a name is changed, pictures recorded before the change are not categorized for Face Recognition in [CATEGORY PLAY].

To change name information for pictures already recorded, perform a [REPLACE] (→136) in [FACE REC EDIT].
