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: When a face is focused on, the camera captures three images continuously at a
rate of about 1.2 fps when Image mode is set to P 4608×3456 (for L26) or i 3648×2736
(for L25).
• 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, you can release the shutter 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, the camera captures up to four images continuously while the
shutter-release button is held all the way down at a rate of about 1.2 fps when Image mode is
set to P 4608×3456 (for L26) or i 3648×2736 (for L25).
• Press the multi selector J (n) to change auto release settings. When set to Off, the shutter is
released only when the shutter-release button is pressed.
• Pet portrait auto release turns off automatically when:
- Five bursts have been taken
- Internal memory or the memory card is full
To continue using Pet portrait auto release to take more pictures, press the multi selector J
(n) and change the setting again.
• 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 or other subjects may be displayed with a border.
