Taking a Picture with Face Recognition Function
Face Recognition is a function which finds a face resembling a registered face and 
prioritizes focus and exposure automatically.  Even if the person is located towards the 
back or on the end of a line in a group photo, the camera can still take a clear picture.
•
The following functions will also work with the Face Recognition 
function.
In Recording Mode
–Display of corresponding name when camera detects a registered 
face¢ (if name has been set for the registered face)–The camera will remember the face that has been photographed 
many times and display the registration screen automatically 
(if [AUTO REGISTRATION] is set to [ON])
In Playback
 Mode
–Display of name and age (if information has been registered)–Selective playback of pictures chosen from pictures registered with Face Recognition 
([CATEGORY PLAY]  (P127))
¢ Names of up to 3 people are displayed. Precedence for the names displayed when taking 
pictures is determined according to the order of registration.
