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
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

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

categorised by Face Recognition in [Category Selection] ([Filtering Play]).
