With the Optio E70, the Face Recognition
function is available with all shooting modes.
When the camera detects a person’s face in the
image, the Face Recognition function displays
a yellow face recognition frame around the face
on the display screen, sets the focus (Face
Recognition AF) and compensates the
exposure (Face Recognition AE).
If the subject in the face recognition frame
moves, the frame also moves and changes size
as it tracks the face.
The Face Recognition function can recognize up
to 32 people’s faces. If it recognizes multiple
faces, the camera displays a yellow frame over
the main face and white frames over the other
face(s). It can display up to a total of 15 frames,
including a main frame and white frame(s).
By pressing the
I
button, you can switch to
the Smile Capture function, which
automatically releases the shutter when your
subject smiles (p.66).
Using the Face Recognition Function
• Face Recognition AF and AE may not work if the subject is wearing
sunglasses, has part of the face covered or is not looking toward the
camera.
• If the camera cannot recognize the subject's face, the camera focuses
using the setting currently selected in [Focusing Area].
• When the Smile Capture function is On, the shutter may not be
released automatically because the Smile Capture function may not
work in some situations, such as when the recognized face is too small.
