Shooting

OPet 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 OPet 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 P4608×3456).

-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.
