Face Recognition is a function for finding faces that resemble faces which have already been 
registered and automatically prioritizing focus and exposure for those faces. This function 
makes it possible to keep the face of your loved ones in focus even when they are at the 
back or on the end of a line in a group picture.
≥ Change the mode to   or  .

≥ It may not be possible to register a face depending 
on the recording conditions. In this case, try 
recording the face again.
3 Entering the person’s name.≥Touch the text entry icon in the center of the screen 
and enter the name.
≥ After entering the name, touch [Enter].
Entering text

∫Changing the information of a registered person
1 Select the menu.
2 Touch the desired item to enter the setting.
≥Up to 3 face shots can be registered. To additionally register 
or to change/delete the registered face shots, touch   or 
the face shot.
≥ If you register several face shots of the same person (up to 3 
face shots can be registered), each with a different facial 
expression or different backgroun d, it is more likely that face recognition will be successful.
[SET NAME]:
Change the name.
[PRIORITY]:
Focus and exposure will be set in  priority according to the 
registration order setting from the first person. Target will be 
locked according to the registration order setting from the first 
person when AF/AE tracking is active.
≥ To change the registration order, select the person you wish 
to change.
[FOCUS ICON]:
This changes the focus indication icon that appears during still 
picture recording. (Only displayed when Face Recognition is in 
use.)
≥ Touch the icon you wish to have displayed.
3 Touch [ENTER].
∫ Canceling a registered person
1 Select the menu.
≥Touching [DELETE ALL] cancels all the registered people.2(When [DELETE] is selected)
Touch the person to cancel.≥When touched, the person is selected and   is displayed. To cancel the selected person, 
touch again.
≥ Touch [ENTER].
≥Since face recognition searches for faces that resemble the registered faces, there is no 
guarantee of positive recognition.
≥ It may not be possible to correctly recognize a person who has been registered due to 
differences in facial expression and environment.
≥ Perform the registration again if recognition becomes unstable in cases such as when 
facial features change with age.

Detected faces appear with frames.
≥ Change the mode to   or  .
≥ Up to 15 frames are indicated. Larger faces and faces nearer to the center of the screen 
take preference over others. When [FACE  RECOG.] is [ON] registered people are given 
priority.
∫ Prioritized face framing
Prioritized face framing is displayed as orang e frames. Focus and adjustment of brightness 
will be performed against the prioritized face framing.
≥ Prioritized face framing is only  displayed in Intelligent Auto Mode.
≥ The white frame is for face detection only.
≥ Focus will be set to prioritized face framing an d the brightness adjusted when the unit is set 
to Portrait mode in Intelligent Auto Mode. Focus will be set to prioritized face framing when 
the unit is in Spotlight or Low light modes.

Recording motion pictures with more vivid colors, using x.v.Color™ technology.
≥ Change the mode to  .
≥ Switch to Manual Mode. ( l86)
≥ For more realistic colors, use an HDMI mini cable with a TV that supports the x.v.Color
™.
≥This function cannot be used when switched to Intelligent Auto Mode.
≥ When motion pictures recorded while this function is turned [ON] are played back 
with a TV not compatible with x.v.Color
™, colors may not be reproduced properly.
≥ To play back images recorded in Digital cine ma color with vivid colors of wider color 
ranges, a device compatible with x.v.Color
™ is required. When these images are played 
back with devices other than ones compatible with x.v.Color™, it is recommended to record 
the images after this function is turned [OFF].
≥ x.v.Color
™ is a name for devices that are compatible with the xvYCC format, an 
international standard for expanded color in motion pictures, and that follow the rules for 
signal transmission.
Message is displayed when this unit is moved rapidly.
≥ Change the mode to  .
When “CAMERA PANNING IS TOO FAST.” appears,

[SURROUND]:Sound is recorded with 5.1 ch surround microphone.
[ZOOM MIC]:Directivity of the microphone is synchronized with the zoom 
operation. Sounds near the front of the unit are recorded 
more clearly if you zoom in (close-up) and surrounding 
sounds are recorded more realistically if you zoom out 
(wide angle).
