    distance than when “Speed” is selected.
    Face Recognition Precautions
    •The maximum number of faces that can be detected at one 
    time is five when “Speed” is selected for the “Priority” setting, 
    and ten when “Quantity” is selected.
    •Detection of the following types of faces is not supported.
    – A face that is partially obstructed by hair, sunglasses, a hat, 
    etc
    – A face that is shaded from the light
    – A profile of a face that is not shot straight on
    – A face that is tilted left or right
    – A face that is very far away or very small
    – A face that is very close or very large
    – A face in an area that is very dark
    •Face detection is not supported for animals or other non-
    human subjects.
    •Even if you have the face of a family member recorded, the 
    person’s facial expression, shooting conditions, or other 
    factors can make proper recognition (highest priority 
    assignment) impossible.
    •Face recognition can be improved by recording multiple 
    versions of the same person’s face indoors and outdoors, with 
    different expressions, and at different angles.
