What does my digital camera's "kids and pets" mode do?

Mark Comon (Vice President, Paul's Photo, Torrance, CA) gives expert video advice on: What does my digital camera's "landscape mode" do?; What does my digital camera's "night mode" do?; What does my digital camera's "kids and pets" mode do? and more...

The kids and pets mode on your digital camera is a light duty version of the sports and action mode. It knows that kids and pets move quickly, so it's going to give you a little bit faster shutter speed. I would tell you to go to the sports mode and get the real deal. You're going to be a lot happier in the long run using that than the kids and pets mode.
