• Grouped images can be played back individually ( =  93) and ungrouped 
(=  93).
•  Protecting (=  98) a grouped image will protect all images in the group.
•  Grouped images can be viewed individually when played back using Image 
Search (=
  92) or Smart Shuffle (=  97). In this case, images are 
temporarily ungrouped.
•  The following actions are not available for grouped images: editing Face\
 ID 
information ( =
  94), magnifying (=  95), tagging as favorites (=  104), 
editing ( =  107 – 111 ), printing (=  171), setting up individual image 
printing ( =  178), or adding to a photobook ( =  180). To do these things, 
either view grouped images individually ( =  93) or cancel grouping 
(=  93) first.
  Using Face ID
If you register a person ahead of time, the camera will detect that pers\
on’s 
face, and prioritize focus, brightness, and color for that person when 
shooting. In [
] mode, the camera can detect babies and children based 
on registered birthdays and optimize settings for them when shooting.
This function is also useful when searching for a specific registered pe\
rson 
among a large number of images ( =
  92).
Also initially register the shooter, whose face will be detected in Story 
Camera shots.
 Personal Information
•  Information such as images of a face (face info) registered with Face \
ID, 
and personal information (name, birthday) will be saved on the camera.\
 
Additionally, when registered people are detected, their names will be 
recorded in still images. When using the Face ID function, be careful 
when sharing the camera or images with others, and when posting 
images online where many others can view them.
•  When disposing of a camera or transferring it to another person after 
using Face ID, be sure to erase all information (registered faces, name\
s, 
and birthdays) from the camera ( =
  46).
