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).
• On the screen displayed when O Pet portrait is selected
for scene mode, select Single or Continuous.
- Single: The camera takes one picture at a time.
- Continuous: When the focus is acquired on the detected face, the camera releases
the shutter three times (continuous shooting speed rate: about 0.7 frames per second
when the image mode setting is R 4320×3240). F is displayed in the monitor
during shooting.
• 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.
• When no pet faces are detected, the shutter can be
released by pressing the shutter-release button.
- The camera focuses on the subject at the center of the
frame when no pet faces are detected.
- When Continuous is selected, up to three pictures are taken at a rate of about 0.7
frames per second while the shutter-release button is held down (when the image
mode setting is R 4320×3240).
• To change the setting whether the camera release the shutter automatically or not, press
J (n) on the multi selector.
- Pet portrait auto release (default setting): The shutter is automatically released
when the focus is acquired on the detected face. d is displayed in the monitor during
shooting.
- OFF: The shutter is released only when the shutter-release button is pressed.
• Digital zoom is not available.
• AF-assist illuminator (A 146) does not light up. Shutter sound (A 147) is disabled.
• 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.
