How the Face Recognition function works
During recording
(When [AF Mode] is (Face Detection))
• 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]).
■
Recording tips when registering face pictures
• Make sure the subject’s eyes are open and mouth closed; have the subject 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 recognising 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 recognised, re-register that person.
