Caution

• When holding the camera by the strap, be careful not to bang it, subject it to

strong impacts or shocks, or let it get caught on other objects.

• Be careful not to bump or push strongly on the lens.

This could lead to injury or damage the camera.

Using Face ID

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 A 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 (p. 126).

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 (p. 65).

the names of up to 3 registered people will be displayed when they are detected.

z Shoot.

X Displayed names will be recorded in still

images. Even if people are detected, but their names are not displayed, the names (up to 5 people) will be recorded in the image.

• 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 (p. 129).

• Because faces of babies and children change quickly as they grow, you should

update their face info regularly (p. 63).
