Solution

If you register a person ahead of time, the camera will detect that person?????????s face, and prioritize focus, brightness, and color for that person when shooting. In
mode, the camera can detect babies and children based on registered birthdays and optimize settings for them when shooting.
This function is also useful when searching for a specific registered person among a large number of images.
You can register information (face info, name, birthday) for up to 12 people to use with Face ID. (You can register up to five items of face info per person.)
Up to three people can be detected when shooting and up to five people can be detected during playback.
REFERENCE
Personal Information
  • Information such as images of a face (face info) registered with Face ID, and personal information (name, birthday) will be saved on the camera. Additionally, when registered people are detected, their names will be recorded in still images. When using the Face ID function, be careful when sharing the camera or images with others, and when posting images online where many others can view them.
  • When disposing of a camera or transferring it to another person after using Face ID, be sure to erase all information (registered faces, names, and birthdays) from the camera.
  • Because faces of babies and children change quickly as they grow, you should update their face info regularly.
IMPORTANT
  • When the camera is set to [Easy mode] (
    ), you cannot use Face ID.
  • When using [Face ID] to shoot, names will not be displayed in [Movie Digest] (
    ), [Fish-eye Effect] (
    ), [Miniature Effect] (
    ), or [Stitch Assist] (

  • Setting available, but when using [Face ID] to shoot, names will not be displayed in [iFrame Movie] (

NOTE
  • Registered people may not be correctly detected if the captured image or scene differs drastically from the registered face information.
