detected.] appears during Instant Review.
When the Face Recognition function (p.65) does not work, Blink Detection
also does not function. Even if the subject’s faces are recognized, Blink
Detection may not function depending on the condition of the recognized
faces.
You can also disable Blink Detection function (p.97).
