∫ The Backlight Compensation

Backlight refers to light coming from the back of a subject.
In this case, the subject will become dark, so this function compensates the backlight by
brightening the whole picture automatically.
Face of the person that is taken often can be registered along with
information such as name and birthday.
When a picture is taken with [FACE RECOG.] turned [ON], it will
search for the face similar to the registered face, setting the focus
and exposure preferentially. The camera will also remember the face
during the face recognition, and detect an often photographed face
automatically, displaying the face recognition registration screen.

Note
•
[FACE RECOG.] will find a face similar to the registered face, and does not guarantee secure
recognition of a person.
•
Faces with similar distinctive features such as those of parents and children or siblings may not
be correctly recognized.
•
Face Recognition may take more time to select and recognize distinctive facial features than
