Tips for Best Face Recognition Results
• Face recognition in the Family First mode is slightly faster than that in the Normal
mode. Also, compared with the Normal mode, the Family First mode will not be
able to detect faces that are far away and small.
• The camera performs center focus if it cannot detect a face.
• Always make sure that Auto Focus (AF) is selected as the focus mode when
shooting with face recognition.
• Face recognition may take a bit longer when you hold the camera sideways.
• Even if you have the face of a family member pre-recorded, the person’s facial
expression, shooting conditions, or other factors can make proper detection
(highest priority assignment) impossible.
• Face recognition can be improved by pre-recording multiple versions of the same
person’s face indoors and outdoors, with different expressions, and at different
angles.
• Detection of the following types of faces is not supported.
– Face that is obstructed by hair, sunglasses, a hat, etc., or a face in dark shade
– A profile or a face that is at an angle
– A face that is very far away and small, or very close and large
– A face in an area that is very dark
– The face of a pet or some other non-human subject
IMPORTANT!
• Face recognition cannot be used in combination with any of the following features.
– Some BEST SHOT scenes (Cross, Pastel, ID Photo, White board, etc.,
Prerecord (Movie), For YouTube, Voice Recording)
– Movie Recording
• The following functions are disabled when shooting with face recognition.
– Multi AF
Speed
Minimizes face recognition time, and limits the number of faces that
can be detected at one time to five.
Quantity
Enables detection of a maximum of five to ten faces. With this
setting, the camera recognizes faces in the image that are smaller
and further away from the camera (when shooting with the Normal
mode).
