Face detection
Face Detection detects and recognizes
face-like shapes and adjusts focus,
color, and exposure automatically.
Also, it adjusts recording conditions
so that they are optimized for the face
detected.
Press the
Control (Up/Down)
button to select
“Face Detection,”
and then press
the
OK
button.
- Detects a face and frames it in white. The detected face image
is optimised automatically.
The Face Detection indicator (
) and Face Detection frame (
)
are not recorded.
When Face Detection frames a face, it also adjusts the focus and
exposure to optimal values for that face automatically.
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 feature.
The Face Detection feature 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.
