[REC] Mode:
Taking a Picture with Face Recognition Function
Face Recognition is a function which finds a face resembling a registered face and
prioritizes 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.
• 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)
– The camera will remember the face that has been photographed
many times and display the registration screen automatically
(if [AUTO REGISTRATION] is set to [ON])
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 PLAY] (P142))
¢ Names of up to 3 people are displayed. Precedence for the names displayed when taking
pictures is determined according to the order of registration.

• Similarity in facial features can result in one person being recognized as another.
• Face Recognition may take more time to select and recognize distinctive facial features than
regular Face Detection.

[OFF] will not be categorized by face recognition in [CATEGORY PLAY].
• Even when Face Recognition information is changed (P112), Face Recognition
information for the pictures already taken will not be changed.
For instance, if the name is changed, pictures recorded before the change will not be
categorized by face recognition in [CATEGORY PLAY].
