name)."

Face Recognition
Users can register their faces and log into their Smart Hub accounts through Face Recognition. One 
face may be registered per account. Depending on the ambient brightness level and the user's skin 
tone, the TV may have difficulty recognizing the user's face.
Operating Environment
Users should be located between 4.9ft and 13.1ft from the camera. The actual recognition range may 
vary depending on the camera angle and other factors.
The appropriate ambient brightness is between 50 to 500 lux. (100 Lux: bathroom, 400 Lux: living 
room)
Face Recognition can recognize up to 5 different users at a time.
The TV may have difficulty recognizing twins and people with similar faces as two different 
individuals.
Note the following when using Face Recognition:
 
●Do not cover your face with a hat, a pair of sunglasses, or your hair.
 
●The user's entire face must be visible to the camera. Avoid shadows over your face. Shadows 
prevent the camera from recognizing your face accurately.
 
●Keep your expression as neutral as possible. In addition, keep your mouth closed but at the same 
time as neutral as possible.
 
●User's facial expression when logging into your Samsung account must be the same as the facial 
expression during the registration process.
