Taking a picture with Face Recognition function
Face Recognition is a function which finds a face resembling a registered face and

back or on the end of a line in a group photo, the camera can still take a clear picture.

The Face Recognition function includes the following.
In Recording Mode
–
Display of corresponding name when camera detects a registered
face
¢
(if name has been set for the registered face)
– The camera will remember the face that the picture is taken for many
times and display the registration screen automatically (if
[AUTO REGISTRATION] is set to [ON])
In Playback
Mode
– Display of name and age (if information has been registered)
– Selective playback of pictures chosen from pictures registered with Face Recognition
([CATEGORY PLAY] (P154))
¢ Names of up to 3 people are displayed. Precedence for the names displayed when taking
pictures is determined according to the order of registration.
