(P.71)Face RecognitionThe faces of people who are taken frequently can be registered together with theirnames, ages, and other information.If pictures are taken with ‘FACE RECOG.’ (P.63) set to ‘ON’, priority is given to the focusand exposure adjustments of the faces close to those that have been registered. Also,the camera memorises detected faces during Face Detection, automatically recognisesfaces which are taken frequently, and displays them on the face registration screen.Face Recognition searches for faces close to those that have been registered. Correctrecognition of faces cannot be guaranteed.In some cases, the camera may be unable to correctly distinguish between people withsimilar facial characteristics, such as parents and children and brothers and sisters.When using Face Recognition, the facial characteristics are extracted for performingrecognition, and so this process takes longer than regular Face Detection.For subjects registered as newborns and infants (people with birthdays set to less than 3 years),is displayed, and the picture will be taken to give the skin a more healthy appearance.AF TRACKINGEven if a subject where the focus was locked (AF Lock) moves, the camera can continueto keep it in focus.Set AF MODE to AF tracking• To cancel AF tracking → Press▲again.AF tracking frameAlign the AF tracking frame with the subject, and then lock.• To cancel AF Lock → Press▲.• The optimum scene is detected for the subjectwhere the focus was locked (AF Lock).AF Lock successful: YellowAF Lock failed: Red (flash)Face recognition will be inactive while using AF tracking.Please refer to P.71 if AF Lock is not successful for certain objects.Turn on the powerStatus indicator illuminated forapprox. 1 second.Set toSet to (NORMAL PICTURE mode)Take a picturePress halfway(Adjust thefocus)Press fullyFocus display(when focusaligned: flashing→ illuminated)AF area(Aligns focus with subject; whencomplete: red/white → green)To take motion pictures(P.59)To use zoom(P.35)To use flash(P.41)To adjust image brightness(P.47)To take close-up pictures(P.43)To adjust colouring(P.70)When (jitter alert) is displayed, use the optical imagestabilizer (P.75), a tripod, or the self-timer (P.46).If aperture value or shutter speed is displayed in red,correct exposure has not been achieved.
