Notes About the Face Detection Function
•
The camera’s ability to detect faces depends on a variety of factors, including the
direction in which the faces are looking.
•
The camera may be unable to detect faces in the following situations:
- When faces are partially hidden by sunglasses or other obstructions
- When faces take up too much or too little of the frame
