When recording motion pictures using an AC adaptor, if you unplug the AC adaptor or a 
power outage occurs, power to the camera is cut, and the motion picture in progress is 
no longer recorded.
 
If you attempt to play motion pictures recorded with the camera on other devices, 
playback may not be possible, or the picture or sound quality may be poor. Additionally, 
incorrect recording information may be indicated.
 
When Burst is performed, recording information relating to Face Recognition is put only 
on the first picture.
 
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 put on the picture.
 
Face Recognition does not work in the following cases:
Motion picture recording, Scene Modes [Transform], [Panorama Assist], [Night 
Scenery], [Food], [Hi-Speed Burst], [Flash Burst], [Starry Sky], [Fireworks], [Aerial 
Photo], [Film Grain], [Underwater] 
 
Face Recognition searches for faces similar to those registered, but there is no 
guarantee it will always recognise these faces.
 
Even if Face Recognition information is registered, pictures recorded when the name is 
[OFF] are not categorized for Face Recognition in [Category Selection].
 
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 
categorized for Face Recognition in [Category Selection].
 
To change name information for pictures already recorded, perform a [REPLACE] (
in [Face Rec Edit].
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 
(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) 
 
• During recording, 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])
