Tagging pictures
Tag pictures to make them easy to find, later. You can tag pictures in 2 ways:
■People, and then find all pictures of “Mary.”
■Keywords, and then find all pictures from “Dad’s 60th Birthday.”
Tagging people
When you tag faces, your camera “learns” to recognize people by name. Then it 
matches names and faces in pictures you’ve taken 
and those you take in the future.
1Press the Review  button, then   to find a picture that contains faces.
2Press the Menu   button. Press   to choose Tag People, then press OK.
3Press   to choose Apply Tags, then press OK. 
4Press   to choose an existing name, or New Name to add a new one (see 
Using the keyboard, page 27), then press OK.
If more than one face is detected, a name or question mark is assigned to each detected 
face. To resolve an incorrect name or a question mark, press   to select a face, 
then press OK.
5If prompted to Update People Tags, press   to choose Yes, then press OK.
Other pictures are scanned and updated with the name(s) you applied here. 
Press   to add names to other pictures. When finished, press   to choose 
Done, then press OK. To return to picture-taking mode, press the Shutter button 
halfway down.
Tip: Are faces not always detected? 
If a face is turned sideways, is too distant, or if the contrast between face and 
background is insufficient, then the camera might not detect the face.
