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 camera detects a dog or cat face and automatically releases the shutter (pet portrait auto release). • On the screen displayed when O Pet portrait is selected, select U Single or V Continuous. - U Single: The camera captures one image when a dog or cat face is detected. - V Continuous: The camera captures three images continuously when a dog or cat face is detected. B Pet Portrait Auto Release • Press the multi selector J (n) to change the Pet portrait auto release setting. - Y: The camera detects a dog or cat face and automatically releases the shutter. - k: The camera does not release the shutter automatically, even if a dog or cat face is detected. Press the shutter-release button. The camera also detects human faces when k is selected. • Pet portrait auto release is set to k after five bursts have been taken. • Shooting is also possible by pressing the shutter-release button, regardless of the Pet portrait auto release setting. When V Continuous is selected, you can take pictures continuously while holding down the shutter-release button all the way. B Focus Area • When the camera detects a face, the face is displayed inside a yellow border. When the camera acquires focus on a face displayed inside a double border (focus area), the double border changes to green. If no faces are detected, the camera focuses on the subject in the center of the frame. • Under some shooting conditions, the pet face may not be detected and other subjects may be displayed inside a border. 25m 0s 1700 Shooting Features 27
