Adding Faces Automatically
To automatically add frequently-photographed subjects to the face recognition database, select ON
for AUTO REGISTRATION in the face recognition menu. If the camera detects a face that has been
photographed many times without being added to the database, it will display a message prompting
you to create a new face recognition entry. Tap OK and enter face recognition data as described in
Step 3 on page 39.
1 Note
The camera may sometimes fail to recognize new faces automatically. If necessary, faces can be added manually
using the REGISTER option as described on pages 38–39.
Face Recognition
The camera can store data on up to eight faces. If you attempt to add a ninth face, a con rmation dialog will be
displayed; use the VIEW & EDIT option to make room for new faces by deleting existing data. AUTO REGIS-
TRATION is disabled if there are already data for eight faces.
When Intelligent Face Detection (pg. 28) is on and the frame contains multiple subjects from the face recogni-
tion database, the camera displays the name of the subject that will be used to set focus and exposure (the
subject shown by the green frame). If no name is entered, the camera will show “---”. Subjects identi ed using
face recognition but not used to set focus and exposure are shown by orange frames, other subjects by white
frames.
3 Caution
Face recognition may not function as expected if the subject is not facing the camera, if only part of the sub-
ject’s face is in the frame, or if details of the subject’s face or expression di er markedly from those recorded in
the database.
