A camera that names the dogs in a frame!

Another day, another new piece of electronic wizardy from the land of the rising sun. What what really caught my eye in this new camera from Fujifilm is its face-detection technology. Rather than just recognizing that it is a collage of two eyes, a nose and a mouth, this Fujifilm Z700 even recognizes whose face it is!!! What is even more surprising is that, this detection works even for your four-legged friends. That's right!

You can register up to 8 people in your camera and next time you frame them the camera will bring up their name and optimize focus and other settings in favor of your registered faces. Ditto with pets, the Z700 incorporates the world's first Auto Dog / Cat Detection function, and is able to detect your dog's face from Mr. Khan's dog's face. Again optimizing focus and exposure for pet photos that will delight everyone. An auto-release function can also be selected to automatically shoot the photo when the pet is looking directly at the camera. Phew!, that brings up a doubt. What if your both your registered two-legged and four-legged friend turns up in front of the camera at the same time??

Another funny feature is the 'couple timer'. This gimmick allows you to adjust proximity settings, that clicks the picture depending on how close the two people in the frame are. The settings include “Near”, “Close Up” or “Super Close” depending on the level of intimacy you enjoy. Well well, a camera that brings couples closer!! One another question here on behalf of the LGBT community. Does this work with Adam and Adam too?

So now you have a camera that not only seeks your favorite face from the crowd but also keeps it in prime focus. Hmmm, so what are the future implications of the technology? Well... who knows maybe a few months down the line you may come across another camera with Auto- attractive body-detection and maybe even recognition!!
