Shooting Features
O Pet portrait
• When you aim the camera at the face of a dog or cat, the camera can detect the face and focus
on it. By default, the camera automatically releases the shutter once it has focused (pet portrait
auto release).
• After you select O Pet portrait, select Single or Continuous on the next screen.
- Single: Images are captured one at a time.
- Continuous: The camera captures three images continuously at a rate of about 2.1 fps when
it has focused on the detected face. If you shoot manually by holding the shutter-release
button all the way down, up to about 38 images are captured continuously at a rate of about
2.1 fps (when Image mode is set to P 4608×3456).
B Pet Portrait Auto Release
• To change Pet portrait auto release settings, press the multi selector J (n).
- Y: When the camera detects a pet’s face, it focuses and then releases the shutter automatically.
- OFF: The camera does not release the shutter automatically, even if a pet’s face is detected.
Press the shutter-release button to release the shutter. The camera also detects people’s faces (
A
68).
If the camera detects a person’s face and a pet’s face in the same shot, it focuses on the pet’s face.
• Pet portrait auto release turns off automatically when:
- Five bursts have been taken.
- Internal memory or the memory card is full.
To continue shooting with Pet portrait auto release, press the multi selector J (n) to set again.
B Focus Area
• When the camera detects a face, a yellow double border (focus
area) is displayed around the face, and the double border turns
green when the camera has focused.
• When the camera detects more than one dog or cat face (up to
five can be detected), the face displayed largest in the monitor is
framed by a double border and the others by single borders.
• If no pets’ or people’s faces are detected, the camera focuses on
the subject in the center of the frame.
B Notes About Pet Portrait
• Digital zoom cannot be used.
• Depending on the distance of the subject from the camera, the speed of the subject’s movement,
the direction that the subject is facing, the ambient brightness of the face, etc., pet faces may not
be detected or other subjects may be framed by a border.
