Face detection...

I'm having great fun with the camera Kelvin gave me for my birthday yesterday.  It's exactly the right kind of camera for me - idiot proof and easy to use.

I'm checking out some of the features and find to my amusement that 'intelligent face detection' only works on people without beards.  I thought at first I was using it wrong as neither of my test subjects (Richard and Henry) were picked out by the software, but when the camera was pointed at me, it worked just fine!

So long as I was on the right side by at least a hairsbreadth.

I'm surprised that you dared to beard the lion in his lair!

I'm sure they can keep their chin up.

Surely we can squeeze another one in by a whisker?

Not a cat in hell's chance!

So we've moved away from beards and onto cats, sphynx-like.

It's a riddle to me how you manage it.
