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 Face Recognition function includes the following.
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 the picture is taken for 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] (P108))
¢ Names of up to 3 people are displayed. Precedence for the names displayed when taking
pictures is determined according to the order of registration.
Note
[AF MODE] is fixed to [š].
During the burst mode, [FACE RECOG.] picture information can be attached to only the first
picture.
After pressing the shutter halfway down, a different person’s picture information may be added
when the camera is turned to a different subject to photograph.
[FACE RECOG.] can be used in the following Scene Modes.
[PORTRAIT]/[SOFT SKIN]/[SELF PORTRAIT]/[SCENERY]/[SPORTS]/[NIGHT PORTRAIT]/
[PARTY]/[CANDLE LIGHT]/[BABY1]/[BABY2]/[PET]/[SUNSET]/[HIGH SENS.]/[BEACH]/
[SNOW]/[PIN HOLE]/[HIGH DYNAMIC]/[PHOTO FRAME]
[FACE RECOG.] will find a face similar to the registered face, and does not guarantee secure
recognition of a person.
Face Recognition may take more time to select and recognize distinctive facial features than
regular face detection.
Even when face recognition information has been registered, pictures taken with [NAME] set to
[OFF] will not be categorized by face recognition in [CATEGORY PLAY].
To use the Face Recognition function, set the [FACE RECOG.] in the [REC] Mode
menu to [ON], and register the face images of the people to recognize. (initially set
to [OFF])
