Taking a picture with Face Recognition function
Face Recognition is a function which finds a face resembling a registered face and 
prioritises focus and exposure automatically. Even if the person is located towards the 
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] (P116))
¢ Names of up to 3 people are displayed. Precedence for the names displayed when taking 
pictures is determined according to the order of registration.

[AF MODE] is fixed to [š].
• During the burst mode, [FACE RECOG.] picture information can be attached to only the first 
picture.
• After pressing the shutter halfway down, a different person’s picture information may be added 
when the camera is turned to a different subject to photograph.
• [FACE RECOG.] can be used in the following Scene Modes.
– [PORTRAIT]/[SOFT SKIN]/[SELF PORTRAIT]/[SCENERY]/[SPORTS]/[NIGHT PORTRAIT]/
[PARTY]/[CANDLE LIGHT]/[BABY1]/[BABY2]/[PET]/[SUNSET]/[HIGH SENS.]/[BEACH]/

• [FACE RECOG.] will find a face similar to the registered face, and does not guarantee secure 
recognition of a person.
• Face Recognition may take more time to select and recognise distinctive facial features than 
regular face detection.
• Even when face recognition information has been registered, pictures taken with [NAME] set to 
[OFF] will not be categorized by face recognition in [CATEGORY PLAY].
To use the Face Recognition function, set the [FACE RECOG.] in the [REC] Mode 
menu to [ON], and register the face images of the people to recognise. (initially set 
to [OFF])
