B Using Pet Portrait Auto Release
• To change the Pet portrait auto release setting, press the multi selector J (n).
- Y (default setting): When the camera detects a pet face, it focuses on the face and then releases
the shutter automatically.
- OFF: The camera does not release the shutter automatically, even if a pet face is detected. Press
the shutter-release button to release the shutter. The camera also detects human faces (A68).
If the camera detects a human face and a pet face in the same shot, it focuses on the pet face.
• Pet portrait auto release turns off automatically when:
- Five bursts have been taken.
- Internal memory or the memory card is full.
To continue taking images with Pet portrait auto release, press the multi selector J (n) and
change the setting again.
B Notes About 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 pet or human faces are detected, the camera focuses on the
subject in the center of the frame.
B Notes About Pet Portrait Scene Mode
• Digital zoom is not available.
• Depending on the distance of the pet from the camera, the speed of the pet’ s movement, the
direction the pet is facing, the ambient brightness around its face, etc., the pet face may not be
detected and other subjects may be displayed with a border.
O Pet portrait
• When you point the camera at a dog or cat, the camera detects the pet’s face and focuses on it.
By default, the shutter is automatically released when focus is acquired (pet portrait auto release).
• On the screen displayed when O Pet portrait is selected, select Single or Continuous.
- Single: The camera takes one image at a time.
- Continuous (default setting): When focus is acquired on the detected face, the camera
automatically releases the shutter 3 times. The frame rate with continuous shooting is about
1.1 fps. If you manually release the shutter, up to 6 images can be captured at a rate of about
1.1 fps while the shutter-release button is held down (when the image mode is set to
x 5152×3864).
