Using The Face Recognition Function - Leica V-LUX 4 Instructions Manual

Using the Face Recognition Function

Applicable modes:
Face Recognition is a function which finds a registered face and automatically bases focus and
exposure on it. Even if the person is located towards the back or on the end of a line in a group
photo, the camera can still take an in-focus picture of that person.
[Face Recog.] is initially set to [OFF] on the camera.
[Face Recog.] will turn [ON] automatically when the camera detects a registered face.
•
The following functions will also work with the Face Recognition
function.
In Recording Mode
–
The display of the corresponding name when the camera detects a
¢
registered face (if the name has been set for the registered face)
In Playback Mode
–
The display of name and age (if the information has been registered)
–
Selective playback of pictures chosen from pictures registered with Face Recognition ([Category
Selection] in [Filtering Play]).
¢ Names of up to 3 persons are displayed. Precedence for the names displayed when taking
pictures is determined according to the order of registration.
