Face Recognition
The faces of people who are taken frequently can be registered together with their
names, ages, and other information.
If pictures are taken with 'FACE RECOG.' (P.65) set to 'ON', priority is given to the focus
and exposure adjustments of the faces close to those that have been registered. Also,
the camera memorizes detected faces during Face Detection, automatically recognizes
faces which are taken frequently, and displays them on the face registration screen.
Face Recognition searches for faces close to those that have been registered. Correct
recognition of faces cannot be guaranteed.
In some cases, the camera may be unable to correctly distinguish between people with
similar facial characteristics, such as parents and children and brothers and sisters.
When using Face Recognition, the facial characteristics are extracted for performing
recognition, and so this process takes longer than regular Face Detection.
For subjects registered as newborns and infants (people with birthdays set to less than
3 years), is displayed, and the picture will be taken to give the skin a more healthy
appearance.
Even if a subject where the focus was locked (AF Lock) moves, the camera can continue
to keep it in focus.
Set AF MODE to AF tracking
Align the AF tracking frame with the subject, and then lock.
Face recognition will be inactive while using AF tracking.
Please refer to P.73 if AF Lock is not successful for certain objects.
