Recording
Face Recognition is a function which finds a face resembling a registered face and
prioritises 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 I (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] (P98) in [Filtering Play]).
4< Names of up to 3 people are displayed. Precedence for the names displayed when taking
pictures is determined according to the order of registration.
• During the Burst Mode, [Face Recog.] picture information can be attached to only the first
picture.
• [Face Recog.] can be used in the following Scene Modes.
- [Portrait]/[Self Portrait]/[Scenery]/[Sports]/[Night Portrait]/[Party]/[Candle Light]/[Babyl]/

• [Face Recog.] will find a face similar to the registered face, and does not guarantee secure
recognition of a person.

regular Face Detection.
• This function is fixed to [OFF] while motion pictures are taken.
• Even when Face Recognition information has been registered, pictures taken with [Name] set
to [OFF] will not be categorized by Face Recognition in [Category Selection] ([Filtering Play]).
• Even when Face Recognition information is changed (P66), Face Recognition
information for the pictures already taken will not be changed.
For instance, if the name is changed, pictures recorded before the change will not be
categorized by Face Recognition in [Category Selection] ([Filtering Play])
