Registered people may not be correctly detected if the captured 
image or scene differs drastically from the registered face 
information.
 
If a registered face is not detected, or not easily detected, 
overwrite registered information with new face info. Registering 
face info right before shooting will allow for easier detection of 
registered faces.
 
If a person is mistakenly detected as another person and you 
continue shooting, you can edit or erase the name recorded in the 
image during playback (= 111).
 
Because faces of babies and children change quickly as they 
grow, you should update their face info regularly (= 44).
 
 
If you don’t want names to be recorded in images, choose [Face 
ID Settings] on the [
2] tab, choose [Face ID], and then choose 
[Off].
