Taking a Picture with Face Recognition Function
Applicable modes: 
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.
The following functions will also work with the Face Recognition 
function.
In Recording Mode
Display of corresponding name when camera detects a registered face
¢
 
(if name has been set for the registered face)
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 
Selection] in [Filtering Play]).
¢ 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
During the Burst Mode, [Face Recog.] picture information can be attached to only the first picture.

, 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 Selection] ([Filtering Play]).
To change the name information of the pictures taken, perform the [REPLACE] in [Face Rec Edit]
