O Pet portrait
Use this mode when taking pictures of dogs or cats. When the
camera detects the face of a dog or a cat, the camera then
focuses on the detected face. When the subject is in focus, the
shutter is released automatically in the default setting (Pet
portrait auto release).
• Select Single or Continuous on the screen that is displayed
when O Pet portrait scene mode is selected.
- Single: One picture is taken each time the shutter-release button is pressed.
- Continuous: When the detected face is in focus, three images are continuously
captured (Frame rate: approx. 0.7 fps when image mode is set to R 4320×3240).
When Continuous is selected, F appears on the monitor.
• The face detected by the camera is framed by a double
border (focus area), and the double border turns green
when focus is acquired. The faces of up to five pets can be
detected simultaneously. When the camera detects more
than one face, the face displayed largest in the monitor is
framed by a double border (AF area), and the faces outside
the focus area are framed by single borders.
• Even if the camera does not detect any face of a pet, the shutter
can be released when the shutter-release button is pressed.
- If the camera does not detect any face of a pet, the camera focuses on the subject in the
center of the frame.
- While the shutter-release button is held all the way down when Continuous is
selected, up to 19 images can be captured at a rate of about 0.7 fps (when image mode
is set to R 4320×3240). Shooting ends when the shutter-release button is released.
• The auto shutter-release setting can be changed by pressing the multi selector J (n).
- Pet portrait auto release (default setting): When the detected face is in focus, the
camera automatically releases the shutter. When Pet portrait auto release is selected,
d appears on the monitor.
- Off: The shutter is released only using the shutter-release button.
• Digital zoom is not available.
• The button sound and shutter sound (A 115) will not go off.
• In some shooting conditions, such as the distance between the camera and the pets, the
speed of the pets’ movement, the direction in which the faces are turned or the
brightness of the faces, the camera may be unable to detect the dogs or cats, or may
detect subjects other than dogs or cats.
• Pet portrait auto release is automatically set to Off in the following situations.
- When five bursts have been taken
- When the camera is turned back on after entering standby mode (
A 15)
- When internal memory or the memory card is full
To continue using Pet portrait auto release to take more pictures, press the multi
selector
J (n) and change the setting again.
