Recording with the Face Recognition function
[Face Recog.]
Recording mode:
The Face Recognition function recognises a face similar to a registered face and
automatically adjusts focus and exposure for the face with higher priority. Even if a person
you want to focus on is standing at the back or corner in a group photo, the camera will
automatically recognise the person and record this person’s face clearly.

How the Face Recognition function works
During recording
•The camera recognises a registered face and adjusts
focus and exposure.
•When registered faces that have set names are
recognised, the names are displayed (max. 3 people).
During playback
•The name and age are displayed (if information is
registered).
•The names that have been set for the recognised faces
are displayed (max. 3 people).
•Only pictures of the selected registered people are played
back ([Category Play]).
●
[Face Recog.] functions only when Auto Focus mode is set to [ ].
●
Only the first picture of the burst recording will contain Face Recognition information.
●
The name of the person recognised in the first picture is displayed in the case of group pictures.
●
Face Recognition may take more time to select and recognise distinctive facial features than
regular Face/Eye Detection.
●
Face Recognition searches for faces similar to those registered, but there is no guarantee it
will always recognise these faces. In some cases, the camera cannot recognise or incorrectly
recognises even registered people depending on their expression or the environment.
●
Even if Face Recognition information is registered, pictures recorded when the name is [OFF] are
not categorised for Face Recognition in [Category Play].
●
Even if Face Recognition information is changed, Face Recognition information for
previously recorded pictures is not changed.

For example, if a name is changed, pictures recorded before the change are not categorised for
Face Recognition in [Category Play].

To change name information for pictures already recorded, perform a [REPLACE]
