<br />Rich - did YOU see a face in those trees?

<br />rd- i never used face recognition on a camera. i would just try first hand experience tests.
<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">But it seems to me that it should or would find some of the same things. Mine is somewhat crude, but I'm going to give it a whirl.

The way it works, it snaps to the face when it finds one, so I'll know. But Larry made a good point, if I don't see a face, why would it?

rd- if you point the camera at a real face does it recognize that?

rd- speaking of why no great pattern recognition cameras. Not to get political or spooky but i believe there are giant social engineering / political think tanks to suppress the common people from knowing what reality is. This is why there are no great pattern recognition cameras. No value given to pattern recognition. It and consciousness expansion are the meaning of life not paper stamped with god's name and backed by war given value by insane lying people. (Read Plato and Popper's assessment of this totalitarian tyrant we are still following). If there is such a thing as meaning or reason- we are here to expand our consciousness by recognizing patterns. When we don't see the pattern our neurochemistry lowers consciousness by manipulating serotonin/ dopamine reception and transmission etc.

Yes.

I do not know the answer to the infinity focus question.

I don't think a manufacturer would install such a feature on a camera. But then, I've seen more than a few manufacturers do some mighty dumb things ...

Hmm. Perhaps they might, if they gave the user a switch to turn it off and an adjustment to set the exact meaning of 'infinity' when it was on.
