I no longer have the eyesight of a 20 year old, but I have no problem knowing when I'm looking at a face - either in "real life" or through a viewfinder. Just because I'm lazy, and I suspect that some of the answers on this list might be more informative than advertising copy (and more fun, to boot!), could I please have a brief primer on Face Recognition and why in the world I might want it? thanks, frank ============ It was discussed on PDML when first announced. Sorry, forget when, or I'd direct you to the archive. Most found it funny and speculated on what other kinds of recognition they'd like instead. HTH, Marnie aka Doe Cat recognition? And camera refuses to take the photo? Stuff like that. i.e., It's for snapshooters. --------------------------------------------- Warning: I am now filtering my email, so you may be censored. **************************************See AOL's top rated recipes (http://food.aol.com/top-rated-recipes?NCID=aoltop00030000000004) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
