•When the camera is pointed at a dog or cat, it detects and focuses on its face. In the default setting, the shutter is automatically released when the camera has focused on the pet (pet portrait auto release).

•On the screen that appears when OPet portrait is selected, select Single or Continuous.

-Single: One picture is captured at a time

-Continuous: The camera automatically captures 3 pictures continuously at a rate of about 3 frames per second when it has focused on the detected face. When the shutter is released manually, up to 5 pictures are shot at a rate of about 3 frames per second while you hold the shutter-release button all the way (when image quality is set to Normal and image size is set to r4896×3672).

BNotes on Pet Portrait

•The digital zoom is not available.

•Under some shooting conditions, such as subject-to-camera distance, speed of moving pets, direction in which the pets are facing, and brightness of the faces, the camera may be unable to detect a face, or may display a border around something other than a dog or cat.

BViewing Pictures Taken Using Pet Detection

•During playback, the camera automatically rotates images according to the orientation of the pet's face detected at the time of shooting (except for pictures taken with continuous shooting).

•When zooming in on an image displayed in full-frame playback mode by rotating the zoom control toward g(i), the image is enlarged at the center of a pet's face detected during shooting (A82) (except for pictures taken with continuous shooting).
