Taking A Picture With Face Recognition Function - Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ200 Owner's Manual

Taking a Picture with Face Recognition Function

Applicable modes:
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 following functions will also work with the Face Recognition
function.
In Recording Mode
–
Display of corresponding name when camera detects a registered face
(if name has been set for the registered face)
In Playback Mode
–
Display of name and age (if 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 people are displayed. Precedence for the names displayed when taking
pictures is determined according to the order of registration.
Note
•
During the Burst Mode, [Face Recog.] picture information can be attached to only the first picture.

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

[OFF] will not be categorized by Face Recognition in [Category Selection] ([Filtering Play]).
