Patent number: 8488847Abstract: An image sensor of an electronic camera photoelectrically converts a subject image obtained by a shooting optical system to generate an image signal. A image processing section generates face registration image data and moving image data. A face detecting section detects a face area inside a shooting screen based on the moving image data. A controlling section adjusts shooting parameters of the shooting optical system, depending on a position detected at the face area. A face image generating section cuts out an image of the face area to generate face image data. A face recognizing data generating section extracts feature points of the face of a captured person from a part of the face area of the face registration image data and generates face recognizing data. A recording section records the face recognizing data or face image data.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2006Date of Patent: July 16, 2013Assignee: Nikon CorporationInventors: Hirotake Nozaki, Akira Ohmura, Yasuyuki Motoki, Nobuhiro Fujinawa
