Recording with the Face Recognition function  
[Face Recog.]
SQW0206
- 136 -
 
Recording mode: 
 •Default [Face Recog.] setting is [OFF].
 •When the face pictures are registered, the setting will be [ON] automatically.
 
How the Face Recognition function works 
During recording
 •The camera recognises a registered face and adjusts 
focus and exposure. 
 •When registered faces that have set names are 
recognised, 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 recognised faces are displayed  
(max. 3 people).
 •Only pictures of the selected registered people are played back ([Category Selection] 
in [Filtering Play] or [Slide Show]).
 
Face Recognition searches for faces similar to those registered, but there is no 
guarantee it will always recognise these faces. In some cases, the camera cannot 
recognise or incorrectly recognises even registered people depending on their 
expression or the environment.
 
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 
categorised for Face Recognition in [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 added to the picture.
 
Face Recognition does not work in the following cases:
 •[Creative Control] Mode ([Miniature Effect], [Soft Focus])
 •Scene Modes ([Night Scenery], [Handheld Night Shot], [Food], [Starry Sky],  
[High Speed Video], [3D Photo Mode])
 •When recording motion pictures 
 
Even if Face Recognition information is registered, pictures recorded when the name 
is [OFF] are not categorised for Face Recognition in [Category Selection].
 
To change name information for pictures already recorded, perform a [REPLACE] 
 in [Face Rec Edit].
