Scene Mode (Shooting Suited to the Scene)

OPet 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) 3 times at the default setting.

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If the shutter-release button is pressed halfway

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

when no pet faces are detected, the camera

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

focuses on the subject at the center of the frame.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Digital zoom is not available.

To change the Y Pet portrait auto release setting, tap the dtab (A11).

-On (default setting): The shutter is automatically released when the focus is acquired on the detected face.

-Off: The shutter is released using the shutter-release button. When any pets are detected, you can tap a pet’s face to release the shutter (A38).

To change the CContinuous setting used in this mode, tap the dtab (A11).

-Single: The camera takes one picture at a time.

-Continuous (default setting): When the pet portrait auto release function is activated and the focus is acquired on the detected face, the camera releases the shutter 3 times

(continuous shooting speed rate: about 1.4 frames per second when the image mode setting is l4608×2592). When the pet portrait auto release function is disabled, up to 18 pictures can be continuously taken at a rate of about 1.4 frames per second while the shutter-release button is held down (when the image mode setting is l 4608×2592).

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 continuous shooting is used five times in rapid succession with the pet portrait auto release function.

-When the internal memory or memory card becomes full during shooting.

To continue using the Pet portrait auto release function, tap the dtab and set Y Pet portrait auto release to On.

CViewing Pictures That Were Taken Using Pet Detection

If you enlarge a picture by tapping O or tapping the face detected at the time of shooting twice quickly in full-frame playback mode, the picture is enlarged so that the detected face is displayed in the center of the monitor.

If the camera detected multiple faces when the picture was taken, you can tap Mor Nto display a different face. Once you change the zoom ratio, you will be able to zoom in on an area of the picture where there are no faces.
