How the Face Recognition function works
During recording
• 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 persons).
During playback
• The name and age are displayed (if this information is
registered).
• The names that have been set for the recognized faces are displayed
(up to 3 persons).
• Only pictures of the selected registered persons are played back ([Category
Selection] in [Filtering Play] or [Slide Show]).
■
Recording tips when registering face pictures
• Make sure the person’s eyes are open and mouth closed; have the person face the
camera directly, and make sure the outline of the face, the eyes and eyebrows are
not hidden by hair.
• Make sure there are no heavy shadows on the face. (During registration, the flash is
not used.)
■
If the camera seems to have difficulty recognizing faces when recording
• Register additional pictures of the same person’s face, indoors and outdoors or with
different expressions or angles.
• Register additional pictures at the place you are recording.
• If a registered person is no longer recognized, re-register that person.
