•
The Face Detection indicator ( ) and Face Detection frame (
)
are not recorded.
•
Face Detection may not operate depending on the recording
conditions. For example, the Face Detection frame may appear on a
'face-like' shape, even when the subject is not a person's face. If this
occurs, turn off the Face Detection function.
•
The Face Detection frame will not work on the side of a person's
face or if the illumination is too low. You must be facing subjects
‘head-on’ and have enough illumination.
•
You can also set Face Detection with the shortcut menu.
