Canon PowerShot G9 X User Guide

43

If you register a person ahead of time, the camera will detect that person’s 

face, and prioritize focus, brightness, and color for that person when 

shooting. In [

] mode, the camera can detect babies and children 

based on registered birthdays and optimize settings for them when 

shooting.

This function also enables you to find shots you have taken that include 

registered people (= 108).

 

●

Information such as images of a face (face info) registered with 

Face ID, and personal information (name, birthday) will be saved 

on the camera. Additionally, when registered people are detected, 

their names will be recorded in still images. When using the Face ID 

function, be careful when sharing the camera or images with others, 

and when posting images online where many others can view them.

 

●

When disposing of a camera or transferring it to another person after 

using Face ID, be sure to erase all information (registered faces, 

names, and birthdays) from the camera (= 47).

Each set of images shot continuously is managed as a single group, 

and only the first image in that group will be displayed. To indicate that 

the image is part of a group, [

] is displayed in the upper left of the 

screen.

 

●

If you erase a grouped image (= 115), all images in the group 
are also erased. Be careful when erasing images.

 

●

 

●

Protecting (= 113) a grouped image will protect all images in 
the group.

 

●

Grouped images can be viewed individually when played 
back using Image Search (= 107). In this case, images are 
temporarily ungrouped.

 

●

The following actions are not available for grouped images: 
editing Face ID information (= 111), magnifying (= 112), 
tagging as favorites (= 118), editing (= 121), printing 
(= 175), setting up individual image printing (= 179), or 
adding to a photobook (= 181). To do these things, either 
view grouped images individually (= 110) or cancel grouping 
(= 110) first.
