Recording with the Face Recognition function 
[Face Recog.]
Recording Mode:        
Default [Face Recog.] setting is [OFF].
When the face pictures are registered, the setting will be [ON] automati\
cally.
 
■How the Face Recognition function works 
During recording 
(When [AF Mode] is  (Face Detection)) • 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). 
 • During recording, 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 ([Categ\
ory Selection]).
 
■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 h\
idden 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.\
 
●When Burst is performed, recording information relating to Face Recognit\
ion is put only 
on 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 put on the picture.
 
●Face Recognition does not work in the following cases:
Motion picture recording, Scene Modes [Transform], [Panorama Assist], [Night 
Scenery], [Handheld Night Shot], [Food], [Flash Burst], [Starry Sky], [F\
ireworks], [Aerial 
Photo], [Film Grain], [Underwater] 
 
●Face Recognition searches for faces similar to those registered, but the\
re is no 
guarantee it will always recognize these faces. In some cases, the camer\
a cannot 
recognize or incorrectly recognizes even registered people depending on \
their 
expression or the environment.
 
●Even if Face Recognition information is registered, pictures recorded wh\
en the name is 
[OFF] are not categorized for Face Recognition in [Category Selection].
 
●Even if Face Recognition information is changed, Face Recognition inform\
ation 
for previously recorded pictures is not changed.
For example, if a name is changed, pictures recorded before the change a\
re not 
categorized for Face Recognition in [Category Selection].
 
●To change name information for pictures already recorded, perform a [REPL\
ACE] ( →114) 
in [Face Rec Edit].
 Registering face pictures 
Up to 6 people’s face pictures can be registered along with such information as name an\
d 
birth date.
You can facilitate Face Recognition by the way you register faces: for ex\
ample, register 
multiple face pictures of the same person (up to 3 pictures in one regi\
stration).
Select [Face Recog.] from the [Rec] menu (→38) 
Select [MEMORY] with cursor button and then press [MENU/
SET]
 Select [New] with cursor button and then press [MENU/SET]
 • If 6 people are already registered, first delete a registered person. (\
 →74)
Record the face picture 
 Align the face with the guide and record.   Select [Yes] with cursor button and then press [MENU/SET].  • If re-recording, select [No] 
 • Faces of subjects other than people (e.g. pets) cannot be registered.
 • When [DISP.] button is pressed, an explanation is displayed.
 Use cursor button to select the item for editing and press 
[MENU/SET]
[Name] Select [SET] with cursor button and then press [MENU/SET]  Enter the name (text input procedure:  →84) 
[Age] Set the birth date.
 Select [SET] with cursor button and then press [MENU/SET]   Use ◄►  to select year, month and day, set with ▲▼ , and press [MENU/SET]
[Focus Icon] Change the icon that is displayed when the subject is in focus. Select the focus icon with cursor button and then press [MENU/SET]
[Add Images] Up to 3 face pictures of the person can be registered.
  Select an unregistered frame and press [MENU/SET]
 • When a registered face picture is selected with cursor button a screen t\
o  confirm deletion is displayed. Select [Yes] to delete the face picture. (If 
only one picture is registered, it cannot be deleted.)

What is GPS?GPS is an abbreviation for Global Positioning System, which enables peop\
le to find 
their locations using GPS satellites. 
Receiving signals that contain orbit information and time information fr\
om multiple 
satellites to calculate one’s current location is referred to as “Positioning”.
This camera can perform positioning when it receives signals from three \
or more GPS 
satellites.
To ensure successful positioning 
●When using the GPS, we recommend holding the camera still for a while wi\
th the 
GPS antenna facing upward in an outdoor location where you can see the e\
ntire 
sky.
 
●In the following types of locations, it may not be possible to correctly\
 receive the 
signals from the GPS satellites. In such cases, positioning may not be p\
ossible, or 
significant positioning discrepancy may occur.
 • Indoors    • Underground or underwater (when using a marine case)  \
  • In forests
 • When in a moving vehicle, such as a car or train    • Near buildings \
or in valleys
 • Near high-voltage power lines    • In tunnels    • Near 1.5 GHz mo\
bile phones, etc.
 
●Do not cover the GPS antenna with your hands or anything else. 
●If you are carrying the camera during positioning, do not carry it in a \
metal carrier or 
similar container. Positioning cannot be performed when the camera is covered by a 
material such as metal.
