Face Detection and Face Recognition
If the camera automatically identifies the scene and determines that people appear as
subjects in the picture ( , , ), Face Detection is activated, and the focus and
exposure are adjusted for the recognized faces. (→63)
■
Face Recognition
The faces of people who are taken frequently can be registered together with their
names, ages, and other information.
If pictures are taken with [Face Recog.] (→63) set to [ON], priority is given to the focus
and exposure adjustments of the faces close to those that have been registered. Also,
the camera memorizes detected faces during Face Detection, automatically recognizes
faces which are taken frequently, and displays them on the face registration screen.

Even if a subject, where the focus was locked (AF Lock) moves, the camera can continue
to keep it in focus.
