Taking a Picture with Face Recognition Function

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
¢1
face (if name has been set for the registered face)
–
The camera will remember a 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

pictures is determined according to the order of registration.

regular Face Detection.
