Capture photos of one person at a time when registering faces.
Capture 5 photos of the subject’s face for best results: one each
from the front, left, right, above, and below.
When capturing photos from the left, right, above, and below,
instruct the subject not to turn his or her face more than
30 degrees.
You can register a face even if you capture only one photo of the
subject's face.
The camera may recognize and register faces incorrectly depending
on lighting conditions, drastic changes in the subject's pose or face,
and whether or not the subject is wearing glasses.
The camera can automatically register up to 12 faces. If the camera
recognizes a new face when 12 faces have already been registered, it
will replace the lowest priority face with the new one.
