Taking pictures with the Face Recognition function

[Face Recog.]
Recording modes:
• The default [Face Recog.] setting is [OFF].
• When faces are registered, the setting will be [ON] automatically.
■
How the Face Recognition function works
During recording
(When [AF Mode] is
• The camera recognizes a registered face and adjusts focus and
exposure accordingly.
• When registered faces that have set names are recognized, the
names are displayed (up to 3 people).
During playback
• The name and age are displayed (if information is registered).
• The names that have been set for the recognized faces are displayed (up to 3 people).
• Only pictures of the selected registered people are played back ([Category Selection]).
■
Recording tips when registering faces
• Make sure the person's eyes are open and mouth closed; have the person face the camera
directly, and make sure the outline of the face, the eyes and eyebrows are not hidden by hair.
• Make sure there are no heavy shadows on the face. (During registration, the flash is not used.)
■
If the camera seems to have difficulty recognizing faces when recording
• Register additional pictures of the same person's face, indoors and outdoors or with different
expressions or angles.
• Register additional pictures at the place you are recording.
• If a registered person is no longer recognized, re-register that person.
●
During an exposure series, recording information relating to Face Recognition is based
only on the first picture.
●
If you press the shutter release button halfway, then point the camera at a different
person and record, recording information for that picture may be based on another
person.
●
Face Recognition does not work in the following cases:
• With [Creative Control] mode ([Miniature Effect] [Soft Focus])
• With the Scene Modes ([Panorama Shot] [Night Scenery] [Handheld Night Shot]
[Food])
• With motion picture
●
Face Recognition searches for faces similar to those registered, but there is no
guarantee it will always recognize these faces. In some cases, the camera cannot
recognize or incorrectly recognizes even registered people depending on their
expression or the environment.
●
Even if Face Recognition information is registered, pictures recorded when the name is
[OFF] are not categorized for Face Recognition in [Category Selection].
●
Even if Face Recognition information is changed, the Face Recognition
information for previously recorded pictures is not changed.
For example, if a name is changed, pictures recorded before the change are not
categorized for Face Recognition in [Category Selection].
●
To change name information for pictures already recorded, perform a [REPLACE] (→125)
in [Face Rec Edit].
