Recording With The Face Recognition Function [Face Recog.] - Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7 Basic Operating Instructions Manual

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 recognises a registered face and adjusts focus
and exposure
• When registered faces that have set names are recognised,
the names are displayed (up to 3 people)
• When [AUTO REGISTRATION] is [ON], faces that have
been recorded many times are recognised 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 recognised faces are
displayed (up to 3 people)
• Only pictures of the selected registered people are played back ([CATEGORY PLAY])
[AF MODE] is fixed to
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 recognise 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].
