releases the shutter (pet portrait auto release).

V Continuous.

detected.

or cat face is detected.

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.
