Thanks to Face Recognition technology,
the camera can find photos of people and
sort them in Category Playback mode. This
makes it easy to display only photos of a
particular person, or to set up a slideshow
with just those photos.

NEW
The FX40 features an enhanced iA mode that includes Face
Recognition*, a function that "remembers" registered faces.
When there's a familiar face in the frame, it optimizes the focus
and exposure so that the face is in sharp focus and bright. iA
mode also activates a host of functions (see list at right) that
make it easy to get great shots.
