How the Face Recognition function works 
During recording 
(When [AF Mode] is   (Face Detection))
 •The camera recognises a registered face and adjusts focus 
and exposure. 
 •When registered faces that have set names are recognised, 
the names are displayed (up to 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  
(up to 3 people).
 •Only pictures of the selected registered people are played back ([Category 
Selection]).
 
Recording tips when registering face pictures 
 •Make sure the subject’s eyes are open and mouth closed; have the subject face the 
camera directly, and make sure the outline of the face, the eyes and eyebrows are 
not hidden by hair.
 •Make sure there are no heavy shadows on the face. (During registration, the flash is 
not used.)
 
If the camera seems to have difficulty recognising faces when recording 
 •Register additional pictures of the same person’s face, indoors and outdoors or with 
different expressions or angles.
 •Register additional pictures at the place you are recording.
 •If a registered person is no longer recognised, re-register that person.
