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 (default setting): When focus is acquired on the detected face, 3 pictures
can be taken (Continuous shooting speed: about 0.5 fps when the image mode setting
is R 4320×3240). F icon is displayed in the monitor during shooting when
Continuous is selected.
• 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 18 pictures are taken at a rate of about 0.5 fps
while the shutter-release button is held down (when the image mode setting is R
4320×3240).

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 icon 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 99, E 69) does not light up. Button and shutter sound (A 99,
E 70) are 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 the camera to display borders
around faces other than those of dogs or cats.
• Pet portrait auto release is automatically set to Off in the following situations.
- When five series of images are captured using auto release
- When there is no remaining space in the internal memory or on the memory card
To continue using Pet portrait auto release to take more pictures, press the multi
selector
