Recording with the Face Recognition function
[Face Recog.]
Recording mode:
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).
Only pictures of the selected registered people are played back ([Category Selection]).
Recording tips when registering face pictures
Make sure the subject’s eyes are open and mouth closed; have the subject 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.
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:
[Creative Control] Mode ([Miniature Effect] [Soft Focus])
Scene Modes ([Panorama Shot] [Night Scenery] [Handheld Night Shot] [Food]
[Underwater])
Motion picture
Face Recognition searches for faces similar to those registered, but there is no
guarantee it will always recognize these faces. In some cases, the camera cannot
recognize or incorrectly recognizes even registered people depending on their
expression or the environment.
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] (→108)
in [Face Rec Edit].
Default [Face Recog.] setting is [OFF].
When the face pictures are registered, the setting will be [ON] automatically.
