Face Recognition - is it useful?
There is a 15-30 minute Kodak advertisement on Youtube.com
currently going the rounds. I found it extremely boring so I'm not going to dignify it with a URL. One of the things the video touted was face recognition software. Fuji has this in the F30 upgrade (can't remember model number) so it must be in other digital cameras. Has anybody seen, or can anyone offer, comparisons of portraits with and without the feature enabled? |

If I was taking a portrait, I think I would be aware of that fact, and would choose the Camera settings to produce the effect I wanted. Roy G Roy G |

Faces are the subject of many a photo, so why not set the focal length and exposure to get them right? (Is that what they do?) I know how to use my manual controls, but I'm not above using auto when it suffices. |

My impression is that face recognition was more important in setting auto focus, then exposure, but I doubt it zooms the damn lens. -- John McWilliams |

I thought it only adjusted contrast, saturation, etc. for the best portrait
picture and otherwise had not other effect? ljc "John McWilliams" wrote in message . .. timeOday wrote: Bill Tuthill wrote: There is a 15-30 minute Kodak advertisement on Youtube.com currently going the rounds.

My bad, I meant focal plane (not length), as in, focusing the camera. |

It is useful when taking a picture of some scenic area or landmark and you have a person facing the camera at one side of the picture. You know, the standard tourist photo. The camera focuses on the face and adjusts exposure for it. Some Nikon Coolpix cameras have it, I believe. It would be difficult, but not impossible, to implement in a DSLR. |
