Abstract
An apparatus for improving a face recognition ratio includes a digital signal processing unit which generates a first image having a size different from that of a live-view image and, when the size of a face detected from the first image is smaller than a reference size, maps information about the face detected from the first image on the live-view image and performs smile and/or blink recognition.
