  • Hi everybody, this is Gary Fong and I have the Sony a6300 here and I want to

  • do a demonstration of how the Face Registration works. What we're

  • going to do is show you the feature and then we're going to give it kind of a

  • little gruelling test, ok? So in order to make the feature work, I'm gonna go to

  • menu then, I'm going to go to the gear tab and pull down to number six and Face

  • Registration. The way Face Registration works is that you can

  • record someone's face in it will memorize it. Up to eight face can be

  • shifted in priority order and I’m going to teach you how that works. This is really cool

  • if youre shooting a wedding. Maybe youll Face Register the bride, put her in the number one

  • position, the groom would be in number two position, maybe the Maid of Honor would

  • be a number three position and if there's a crowd of all of them together

  • it will find the bride first if the bride's not in the photo it will find

  • the number two position first. Then you can swap those around. I will

  • give you a demonstration how that works. It’s a really cool feature because it will find

  • those faces automatically for you.

  • Alright, so, we're going to go to Face Registration and I'm gonna say New

  • Registration. So now, we have Kyle here and I'm gonna take one picture. It says

  • shoot fitting face into frame. Boom, ok. Register Face and Enter.

  • Ok, so that is a New Registration. Now we have Jocelyn in,

  • and she's going to be the New Registration so I'm gonna put it in

  • right there, and then, so now we recorded that. Register Face, ok. So now that we

  • have that we're going to do order exchanging. So you see in number one position,

  • first person shot was Kyle, and number two position was Jocelyn, I can switch

  • them around and see there is eight different spots here I can switch around so that

  • Jocelyn is number one position. Now, let me show you how this works.

  • Menu, and then we're going to go to the camera, and we're gonna turn on Face

  • Recognition

  • with Face Registration. Were in camera tab six and under Smile/Face Detection.

  • So, you see right here this one on top means Face Detection off and then right

  • underneath that is the Kings Hat and the Kings Hat says that it's going to go to

  • your list of the memorize faces and then put them in their priorities. Under the

  • On or Off, that’s just any face that happens to be in and that's kind of cool

  • if you're shooting a person in a crowd or something like that.

  • Smile Detection well get to you in just a little bit but right now let's put it

  • on Register Faces, ok? Now what's happened here is of course Jocelyn’s

  • here. Just go ahead and move around on the screen. Go toward me, walk off

  • screen, off, and then come back on. Now you'll notice here when it comes back on-did

  • you see when she walked off there was the Face Detection sprinkles.

  • Go ahead and walk off again. See that? That was kind of cool. That's what would happen

  • if you doing Subject Tracking. Come back on. Ok, so now it finds her, again.

  • You can see just for a split split second it was active in the Phase Detection

  • sensors. Now let’s bring Kyle in. So Kyle, go ahead and..ok..now we have two people.

  • Going to have to change the tripod here. So you see right now that there's two squares

  • and when I press the button down, it only goes on Jocelyn. Go ahead and move

  • around Kyle. Walk toward me.

  • Ok, so see he's not in focus but it stays on her. Now, Jocelyn

  • walk toward me, and so, now it stays on Jocelyn. Go ahead and walk off screen. She

  • walks off screen now it goes to Kyle because, remember Kyle’s number two

  • position. How cool is that? Go ahead and walk back on, Jocelyn, and look toward

  • me. So there we go.

  • it’s back on Jocelyn. Now that you know that, i'm gonna go back and change

  • the order of the faces. Now under Face Registration, gear tab six,

  • I’m going to switch the order. Right now we're going to Order Exchanging, and then now

  • you see the Jocelyn was a number one position. I'm gonna put Kyle in number one

  • position. What will happen is when we go back to focus it will

  • prioritize Kyle. The purple box is the box it is not going to track. When I hold

  • this down, you see the green box goes over on Kyle. Kyle, go ahead and

  • walk toward me, and then you're gonna be lower because you're so tall.

  • Now go him walk backwards, and then go ahead and walk off screen.

  • Now Jocelyn is in focus because Jocelyn was in the number two position.

  • Go ahead and walk on screen again, Kyle. There we have it, Kyle goes back in

  • focus. Kyle was the number one position. That's a demonstration with two

  • people that look quite different. What happens when you have people that look

  • very closely alike? so let's bring in Jocelyn’s sister, Megan, go ahead and

  • jump out Kyle. Now here is a gray box around her sister. It doesn't know who

  • this lady is. Right? It has no idea, but Jocelyn is in focus and goes to her

  • because we had Face Registration on. Let's go ahead and then we're going to

  • put Megan into the system. Were going to store her face.

  • Go ahead and jump off Jocelyn. I'm just gonna record Megan’s face. So, we'll go

  • New Registration and then shoot fitting the face into the frame. Can come closer, just

  • a tiny bit. There. Okay and there we go.

  • Cannot register. Shoot again. I think you're not turned right toward me.

  • Yeah, just like that get. Ok, Register Face. Enter. Now what happens is when we go to

  • Order Exchanging, we have of course Kyle in first position and Megan in third. I'm

  • gonna put her in first position. There, okay, and now Jocelyn is in third.

  • Let's put you both on the screen and there we have it. What's going

  • to happen now is-see the purple is

  • around Jocelyn because she's not the one that is in first position. It's

  • going to stay on Megan. Megan walk toward me, then off screen, and there

  • she goes, and now it’s on Jocelyn. Megan come back in. Now it's on

  • Megan. Walk toward me.

  • Stay there. Kyle, jump in. I think Kyle was in number one

  • position. Let's find out

  • Well ask the camera. No Megan's in number one position. Because I put her there and we

  • know that now. Jocelyn go in front of Megan so that you hide her face.

  • Kyle, go behind Megan. Okay, now that he's gone, see? now we've gone back to Jocelyn.

  • So what it does is, it remembers and the way it remembers

  • Is very interesting, uh, Kyle just go ahead and jump out and then Megan and Jocelyn side-by-side

  • So obviously these two look very alike. They're sisters.

  • But the way that the camera is it measures the distance between the eyes, the nose

  • and the chin and comes up with some value. Whatever that is, but it knows the difference between the two

  • probably better than I do. So it would be interested if we had identical twins but

  • it does know.

  • Hold the button down, it's on green, Jocelyn walk towards me.

  • Perfect. And go back.

  • And now, that was Continuous High. I want to show you Continuous Plus.

  • That was eight frames per second and that mimics having a mirror up. This is the

  • brand new feature, Continuous Shooting High Plus. High Plus gets me into eleven

  • frames per second.

  • Jocelyn, you're gonna walk toward me and off the screen when I say go, ok? Go.

  • Let’s see what happened there, and that was the eleven frames per second

  • High Plus mode. So, see how the focus followed Jocelyn all the way across that

  • sequence. That is Face Registration. A very, very handy if you're supposed to be

  • shooting someone but especially for weddings. Bride first, groom second, or

  • mother of the bride first. Sometimes that happens, Bride second. But

  • anyway that's what that does and so when you're on you can just basically

  • it will find the person that is of the highest priority and that's really cool.

  • Like shooting a cocktail hour or something like that, or hate to say it, but group photos

  • with a very wide open aperture. You can think of your own situations when you

  • would want to have it know who the person is that is most important but that’s

  • Face Registration. Cool demo.
