When recording motion pictures using an AC adaptor, if you unplug the AC adaptor or a
power outage occurs, power to the camera is cut, and the motion picture in progress is
no longer recorded.
If you attempt to play motion pictures recorded with the camera on other devices,
playback may not be possible, or the picture or sound quality may be poor. Additionally,
incorrect recording information may be indicated.
When Burst is performed, recording information relating to Face Recognition is put only
on the first picture.
If you press the shutter button halfway, then point the camera at a different subject and
record, recording information for a different person may be put on the picture.
Face Recognition does not work in the following cases:
Motion picture recording, Scene Modes [Transform], [Panorama Assist], [Night
Scenery], [Food], [Hi-Speed Burst], [Flash Burst], [Starry Sky], [Fireworks], [Aerial
Photo], [Film Grain], [Underwater]
Face Recognition searches for faces similar to those registered, but there is no
guarantee it will always recognize these faces.
Even if Face Recognition information is registered, pictures recorded when the name is
[OFF] are not categorized for Face Recognition in [Category Selection].
Even if Face Recognition information is changed, Face Recognition information
for previously recorded pictures is not changed.
For example, if a name is changed, pictures recorded before the change are not
categorized for Face Recognition in [Category Selection].
To change name information for pictures already recorded, perform a [REPLACE] (100)
in [Face Rec Edit].
Default [Face Recog.] setting is [OFF].
When the face pictures are registered, the setting will be [ON] automatically.
How the Face Recognition function works
During recording
(When [AF Mode] is (Face Detection))
• The camera recognizes a registered face and adjusts focus
and exposure
• When registered faces that have set names are recognized,
the names are displayed (up to 3 people)
During playback
• The name and age are displayed (if information is
registered)
• During recording, the names that have been set for the recognized faces are
displayed (up to 3 people)
• Only pictures of the selected registered people are played back ([Category Selection])
