O Pet portrait
Use this mode for taking portraits of pets (dogs or cats). When
the camera detects the face of a dog or cat, it focuses on the
face and automatically releases the shutter (pet portrait auto
release) 3 times at the default setting.
• A double border (focus area) is displayed around the
detected face, and it turns green when the focus is
acquired.
Up to five faces can be detected. When the camera detects
more than one face, the double border is displayed around
the largest face, and single borders are displayed around
the others.
• If the shutter-release button is pressed when no pet faces
are detected, the camera focuses on the subject at the
center of the frame.
• To change the C Continuous setting used in this mode, tap the d tab to display the
menu options.
- Single: The camera takes one picture at a time.
- Continuous (default setting): When the pet portrait auto release function is activated
and the focus is acquired on the detected face, the camera releases the shutter 3 times
(continuous shooting speed rate: about 1.2 frames per second when the image mode
setting is P 4608×3456). When the pet portrait auto release function is disabled, up
to 6 pictures can be continuously taken at a rate of about 1.3 frames per second while
the shutter-release button is held down (when the image mode setting is
P 4608×3456).
• To change the Y Pet portrait auto release setting, tap the d tab to display the
menu options.
- On (default setting): The shutter is automatically released when the focus is acquired
on the detected face.
- Off: The shutter is released using the shutter-release button or touch shutter ( A39).
• Digital zoom is not available.
• Factors such as the distance between the pet and the camera, the orientation or
brightness of the face, and the speed at which the pet is moving may prevent the camera
from detecting the faces of dogs or cats or may cause it to detect faces other than those
of dogs or cats.
• Pet portrait auto release turns off automatically when:
- Five bursts have been taken.
- Internal memory or the memory card is full.
To continue taking pictures with Pet portrait auto release, select the
d tab and
change the Y Pet portrait auto release setting to On again.
