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: Whenever the detected face is in focus, the camera captures 1 image.
- Continuous: Whenever the detected face is in focus, the camera captures
3 images continuously.

- Y: The camera detects a dog or cat face and automatically releases the shutter
when the detected face is in focus.
- OFF: 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 OFF is selected.
• Pet portrait auto release is set to OFF after 5 bursts have been taken.
• Shooting is also possible by pressing the shutter-release button, regardless of the
Pet portrait auto release setting. When Continuous is selected, you can take
images continuously while holding down the shutter-release button all the way.

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
turns green. If no faces are detected, the camera
focuses on the subject in the center of the frame.
• In some shooting conditions, the pet face may
not be detected and other subjects may be
displayed inside a border.
