Appendix
● People other than those registered may be mistakenly detected
as the registered person if they share similar facial features.
● Registered people may not be correctly detected if the captured
image or scene differs drastically from the registered face
information.
● If a registered face is not detected, or not easily detected,
overwrite registered information with new face info. Registering
face info right before shooting will allow for easier detection of
registered faces.
● If a person is mistakenly detected as another person and you
continue shooting, you can edit or erase the name recorded in the
image during playback (= 93).
● Because faces of babies and children change quickly as they
grow, you should update their face info regularly (= 45).
● If you don’t want names to be recorded in still images, choose
[Face ID Settings] on the [ ] tab, choose [Face ID], and then
choose [Off].
● You can check names recorded in images in the playback screen
(simple information display) (= 88).
● In [ ] mode, names are not displayed on the shooting screen,
but they will be recorded in still images.
● Names recorded in continuous shooting (= 43, = 80)
continue to be recorded in the same position as the first shot.
Names are recorded in the same position as the first shot for
additional shots, even if subjects move.
Checking and Editing Registered Information
1
Access the [Check/Edit Info] screen.
● Following step 1 in “Registering Face ID
Information” (= 45), choose [Check/
Edit Info] and press the [ ] button.
5
Continue registering face
information.
● To register up to 4 more points of face
information (expressions or angles),
repeat step 2.
● Registered faces are more easily
recognized if you add a variety of face
information. In addition to a head-on
angle, add a slight side angle, a shot
when smiling, and shots inside and
outside.
● The flash will not fire when following step 2.
● If you do not register a birthday in step 3, Babies or Children icons
(= 36) will not be displayed in [
] mode.
● You can overwrite registered face info, and add face info later if
you have not filled all 5 face info slots (= 45).
Shooting
If you register a person ahead of time, the camera will prioritize that
person as the main subject, and optimize focus, brightness, and color for
that person when shooting.
● When you point the camera toward
people, the names of up to 3 registered
people will be displayed when they are
detected.
● Shoot.
● Displayed names will be recorded in still
images. The names of detected people
(maximum total of 5) will be recorded,
even if the names are not displayed.
