Using Face ID
• The flash will not fire when following step 2.
• If you do not register a birthday in step 5, Babies or Children icons
(p. 59) will not display in A mode.
• You can overwrite registered face info, and add face info later if you have not
filled all 5 face info slots (p. 75).
Shooting
If you register a person ahead of time, the camera will prioritize that person
as the main subject, and optimize focus, brightness, and color for that person
when shooting.
• People other than those registered may be mistakenly detected as
the registered person if they share similar facial features.

Continue registering face
information.
To register up to 4 more points of face
information (expressions or angles), repeat
steps 2 – 3.
Registered faces are more easily recognized
if you add a variety of face information. In
addition to a head-on angle, add a slight side
angle, a shot when smiling, and shots inside
and outside.
When you point the camera toward a subject,
the names of up to 3 registered people will be
displayed when they are detected.
Shoot.
Displayed names will be recorded in still
images. Even if people are detected, but their
names are not displayed, the names (up to 5
people) will be recorded in the image.
