B Focus Area
• When the camera detects a face, a yellow double border (focus
area) is displayed around the face, and the double border turns
green when the camera has focused.
• When the camera detects more than one dog or cat face (up to
five can be detected), the face displayed largest in the monitor is
framed by a double border and the others by single borders.
• If no pet or human faces are detected, the camera focuses on the
subject in the center of the frame.
B Notes About Pet Portrait
• 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 around its face, etc., the pet face may not be
detected and other subjects may be displayed with a border.
O Pet portrait
• When you point the camera at a dog or cat, the camera detects the pet’s face and focuses on it.
By default, the shutter is automatically released when focus is acquired (pet portrait auto release).
• From the screen displayed after O Pet portrait is selected, select Single or Continuous.
- Single: Images are captured one at a time.
- Continuous: When focus is acquired on the detected face, the camera automatically releases
the shutter 3 times. When you manually release the shutter, up to 6 images can be
continuously taken while the shutter-release button is held down. The frame rate for
continuous shooting is about 2 fps (when Image mode is set to P 4608×3456).
