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.
Partial restrictions on using Panasonic digital video cameras to play AVCHD motion images recorded with the DMC-GF3.
•AVCHD motion images recorded with the image quality set to SH mode (1280 x 720) cannot be played on AVCHD-compatible digital video
cameras. •AVCHD motion images recorded with AVCHD-compatible digital video cameras cannot be played on the DMC-GF3.
