An unexpected link between smiles and security
Face detection technology allows a camera to instantly recognize a person's face.
This technology now comes as a standard on many digital cameras. But originally face detection was developed as a security technology for crime prevention.
Your friend's face is looking blurred while the focus is on something completely different...
Everybody must have had such a disappointing experience when trying to capture a memorable moment.
We wanted you to be able to capture the best shot every time to preserve each precious memory.
Our aspiration came true with face-finding biometric technology.
We recognized the significance of this technology which detects human faces in digital images and developed the world's first digital camera equipped with Face-priority AF!
Now digital cameras have a number of even more advanced features utilizing face detection technologies - including features such as automatic shooting when the camera detects a smile, and alerting the photographer after the shot if somebody had their eyes closed.
Over years, Nikon has always cared for and valued the people who pick up cameras.
We will continue our effort to help everyone preserve their precious memories.
