How the Face Recognition function works
During recording 
(When [AF Mode] is   (Face Detection))
 •The camera recognizes a registered face and adjusts 
focus and exposure. 
 •When registered faces that have set names are 
recognized, 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 recognized faces are displayed  
(max. 3 people).
 •Only pictures of the selected registered people are played back ([Category 
Selection]).
 
Only the first picture of the burst recording will contain Face Recognition information.
 
If you press the shutter button halfway, then point the camera at a different subject 
and record, recording information for a different person may be put on the picture.
 
Face Recognition does not work in the following cases:
 •Motion picture 
 •Scene Modes ([Panorama Shot] [Night Scenery] [Handheld Night Shot] [Food]  
[3D Photo Mode] )
 •[Creative Control] Mode ([Miniature Effect] [Soft Focus])
 
Face Recognition searches for faces similar to those registered, but there is no 
guarantee it will always recognize these faces. In some cases, the camera cannot 
recognize or incorrectly recognizes 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 categorized for Face Recognition in [Category Selection].
 
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 
categorized for Face Recognition in [Category Selection].
 
To change name information for pictures already recorded, perform a [REPLACE] 
 in [Face Rec Edit].
