Scene Mode (Shooting Suited to Scenes)
Shooting Features
O Pet portrait
Use this mode when taking pictures of dogs or cats. When the
camera detects the face of a dog or cat, the camera focuses on
that face. Once the camera has focused, by default it
automatically releases the shutter (pet portrait auto release).
• From the screen displayed after the O Pet portrait scene
mode is selected, select Single or Continuous.
- Single: Images are captured one at a time.
- Continuous: Three images are captured continuously when a face is focused on (at a
rate of about 1.2 fps when image mode is P 4608×3456). While Continuous is
selected, the F is displayed in the shooting screen.
• When the camera detects a face, a double border (focus
area) is displayed around the face, and the double border
glows green when the camera has focused.
The faces of up to five pets can be detected at the same
time. When the camera detects more than one face, the face
displayed largest in the monitor is framed by a double
border and the others by single borders.
• If no pet faces are detected, the shutter can be released by
pressing the shutter-release button.
- If no pet faces are detected, the camera focuses on the subject at the center of the
frame.
- When Continuous is selected, up to three images are captured continuously at a rate
of about 1.2 fps (when image mode is set to P 4608×3456) while the shutter-release
button is held all the way down.
• Press the multi selector J (n) to change auto release settings.
- Pet portrait auto release (default setting): The camera automatically releases the
shutter when it focuses on the detected face. While Pet portrait auto release is
selected, the d icon is displayed in the shooting screen.
- Off: The shutter is released only when the shutter-release button is pressed.
• Digital zoom cannot be used.
• Depending on the distance of the pet from the camera, the speed of the pet’s movement,
the direction the pet is facing, the ambient brightness of the pet’s face, etc., pet faces may
not be detected and other subjects may be displayed with a border.
• Pet portrait auto release is automatically set to Off in the following situations.
- When five series of images are captured using auto release
- When there is no remaining space in the internal memory or on the memory card
To continue using Pet portrait auto release to take more pictures, press the multi
selector J (n) and change the setting again.
