Face Detection and Face Recognition
If the camera automatically identifies the scene and determines that people appear
as subjects in the image (
or
), Face Detection is activated, and the focus and
exposure are adjusted for the recognised faces. (P.73)
Face Recognition
The faces of people who are taken frequently can be registered together with their
names, ages, and other information.
If pictures are taken with ‘FACE RECOG.’ (P.65) set to ‘ON’, priority is given to the focus
and exposure adjustments of the faces close to those that have been registered. Also,
the camera memorises detected faces during Face Detection, automatically recognises
faces which are taken frequently, and displays them on the face registration screen.
Face Recognition searches for faces close to those that have been registered. Correct
recognition of faces cannot be guaranteed.
In some cases, the camera may be unable to correctly distinguish between people with
similar facial characteristics, such as parents and children and brothers and sisters.
When using Face Recognition, the facial characteristics are extracted for performing
recognition, and so this process takes longer than regular Face Detection.
For subjects registered as newborns and infants (people with birthdays set to less than 3 years),
is displayed, and the picture will be taken to give the skin a more healthy appearance.

to keep it in focus.
