[Leica] face-recognition software Lumix GH1

[mark at rabinergroup.com (Mark Rabiner)]

Not just eye nose mouth configuration but "watch out its uncle Harry!".

" This is not at all the same as the face *detection* feature in every
camera on earth. The Lumix doesn't just recognize that something *is* a
face; it actually tries to determine *whose* face it is. That way, it can
give priority of focus and exposure to your own friends and family, even
plucking them out of a crowd."
That from David Pogue in an auto email thing I just got sent he'd done a
thing on the camera in his regular internet column today or maybe it was the
real newspaper.

I do notice surprisingly the "LEICA" on the lens has been replaced by the
word "LUMIX".

Starts with an "L" but then falls about in the next 4 letters.


Though could be just as LEICA as the LEICA on Panasonics other camera lenes.
