 ■Recording mode: *1 *2
*1  Cannot be set in the following modes:  [Night Scenery] [Handheld Night Shot] [Food] [Starry Sky] 
[3D Photo Mode]
*2  Cannot be set in the following modes:  [Miniature Effect] [Soft Focus]
 • 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
 • The camera recognizes a registered face and adjusts  focus and exposure. 
 • When registered faces that have set names are recognized, the names are displayed (up to 3 people).
During playback  • The name and age are displayed (if information is registered). 
 • The names that have been set for the recognized faces are displayed  (up to 3 people). • Only pictures of the selected registered people are played back ([Category Selection] in [Filtering Play] or [Slide Show]).
 ■Recording tips when registering face pictures 
 • Make sure the subject’ s eyes are open and mouth closed; have the subject face the 
camera directly, and make sure the outline of the face, the eyes and eyebrows are 
not hidden by hair.
 • Make sure there are no heavy shadows on the face. (During registration, the flash is  not used.)
 ■If the camera seems to have difficulty recognizing faces when recording 
 • Register additional pictures of the same person’ s face, indoors and outdoors or with 
different expressions or angles.
 • Register additional pictures at the place you are recording. • If a registered person is no longer recognized, re-register that person.

 ●Face Recognition searches for faces similar to those registered, but there is no 
guarantee it will always recognize these faces. In some cases, the camera cannot 
recognize or incorrectly recognizes even registered people depending on their 
expression or the environment.
 ●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].
 ●When Burst is performed, recording information relating to Face Recognition is only 
added to 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 added to the picture.
 ●Face recognition does not work during motion picture recording. ●Even if Face Recognition information is registered, pictures recorded when the name 
is [OFF] are not categorized for Face Recognition in [Category Selection].
 ●To change name information for pictures already recorded, perform a [REPLACE] 
(→168) in [Face Rec Edit].
