How the Face Recognition function works
During recording
(When [AF Mode] is [
• The camera recognises a registered face and adjusts
focus and exposure.
• When registered faces that have set names are
recognised, 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 recognised faces are displayed
(up to 3 people).
• Only pictures of the selected registered people are played back ([Category Selection]
in [Filtering Play] or [Slide Show]).
●
When Burst is performed, recording information relating to Face Recognition is only
added to the first picture.
●
If you press the shutter button halfway, then point the camera at a different subject
and record, recording information for a different person may be added to the picture.
●
Face Recognition searches for faces similar to those registered, but there is no
guarantee it will always recognise these faces. In some cases, the camera cannot
recognise or incorrectly recognises even registered people depending on their
expression or the environment.
●
Face Recognition may take more time to select and recognise distinctive facial
features than regular face detection.
●
Face recognition does not work during motion picture recording.
●
Even if Face Recognition information is registered, pictures recorded when the name
is [OFF] are not categorised for Face Recognition in [Category Selection].
●

for previously recorded pictures is not changed.
For example, if a name is changed, pictures recorded before the change are not
categorised for Face Recognition in [Category Selection].
