Advanced (Recording pictures) [REC] Mode: Taking a Picture with Face Recognition Function Face Recognition is a function which finds a face resembling a registered face and prioritizes focus and exposure automatically. Even if the person is located towards the back or on the end of a line in a group photo, the camera can still take a clear picture. [FACE RECOG.] is initially set to [OFF] on the camera. [FACE RECOG.] will turn [ON] automatically when the face image is registered. • The Face Recognition function includes the following. In Recording Mode - Display of corresponding name when camera detects a registered face¢ (if name has been set for the registered face) - The camera will remember the face that has been photographed many times and display the registration screen automatically (if [AUTO REGISTRATION] is set to [ON]) In Playback Mode - Display of name and age (if information has been registered) - Selective playback of pictures chosen from pictures registered with Face Recognition ([CATEGORY PLAY] (P133)) ¢ Names of up to 3 people are displayed. Precedence for the names displayed when taking pictures is determined according to the order of registration. Note • [FACE RECOG.] only works when [AF MODE] is set to [š]. • During the Burst Mode, [FACE RECOG.] picture information can be attached to only the first picture. • After pressing the shutter halfway down, a different person's picture information may be added when the camera is turned to a different subject to photograph. • [FACE RECOG.] cannot be used with the [FOOD] in [CLOSE-UP], [NIGHT SCENERY] and [ILLUMINATIONS] in [NIGHT PORTRAIT], [PERIPHERAL DEFOCUS] in Scene Mode. • When the Focus Mode is set to [MF], automatic registration is not available. • The data registered with [FACE RECOG.] will be reset when the [REC] menu settings are reset with [RESET]. • [FACE RECOG.] will find a face similar to the registered face, and does not guarantee secure recognition of a person. • Face Recognition may take more time to select and recognize distinctive facial features than regular face detection. • Even when face recognition information has been registered, pictures taken with [NAME] set to [OFF] will not be categorized by face recognition in [CATEGORY PLAY]. • Even when face recognition information is changed (P108), face recognition information for the pictures already taken will not be changed. For instance, if the name is changed, pictures recorded before the change will not be categorized by face recognition in [CATEGORY PLAY]. • To change the name information of the pictures taken, perform the [REPLACE] in [FACE REC EDIT] (P145). 104 VQT2S62
