OPet portrait

•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 about 6 pictures are shot at a rate of about 8 frames per second while you hold the shutter-release button all the way down (when image quality is set to Normal and image size is set to F4000×3000).

BFocus Area

•The detected face is framed by a yellow double border (focus area). When the camera has focused on the face, the double border turns green.

•When the camera detects more than one face of dog or cat (up to 5), the largest face displayed on the monitor is framed by a double border (focus area) and the others by single borders.

•If no human or pet's faces are detected, the camera focuses on the subject at the center of the frame.

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.
