Registering Face Pictures - Panasonic LUMIX DMC-TZ18 Owner's Manual

Recording with the Face Recognition function
[Face Recog.]
Recording Mode:
Up to 6 people's face pictures can be registered along with such information as name and
birth date.
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.
