Shadows on faces
Faces are not completely exposed (for
instance wearing sunglasses)
The size of a face is small on the screen.

In the following cases, the function may not
operate properly even if faces are detected. If
this occurs, turn off this function.
Nonhuman subjects are recognized as
faces.
When the brightness or quality cannot be
adjusted clearly since scenes are extremely
dark, or the areas around the faces or the
background is extremely bright.
There is no function to focus preferentially on a
face that is detected.
Since the brightness of the entire image is
adjusted to record faces more vividly,
brightness may change suddenly or images
may flicker under some recording conditions.
When the face detection frame disappears due
to zooming, the brightness may change
suddenly or the images may flicker.
