Taking a Picture with Face Recognition Function

Face Recognition is a function which finds a face resembling a registered face and
prioritizes focus and exposure automatically. 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 a clear picture.
[FACE RECOG.] is initially set to [OFF] on the camera.
[FACE RECOG.] will turn [ON] automatically when the face image is registered.
•
The Face Recognition function includes the following.
In Recording Mode
–
Display of corresponding name when camera detects a registered
¢
face (if name has been set for the registered face)
–
The camera will remember the face that has been photographed
many times and display the registration screen automatically
(if [AUTO REGISTRATION] is set to [ON])
Mode
In Playback
–
Display of name and age (if information has been registered)
–
Selective playback of pictures chosen from pictures registered with Face Recognition
([CATEGORY PLAY] (P148))
¢ Names of up to 3 people are displayed. Precedence for the names displayed when taking
pictures is determined according to the order of registration.

Face Recognition may take more time to select and recognize distinctive facial features than
regular face detection.
