•About the performance of Face Recognition function

Recognition performance varies greatly depending on shooting conditions, i.e., according to factors such as angles, facial 
expression and lighting, so operation under all conditions cannot be guaranteed. Because the camera searches for faces 
that are similar to registered faces, there are cases where the faces are not correctly recognized when the registered 
image and the shooting image varies much. When facial characteristics are similar, particularly between parents and their 

children or brothers and sisters, the camera may not distinguish the faces.
