Telling aibo to take a photo

You can talk to your aibo and have it take a photo.

aibo has a front-view camera on its nose that locates and takes photos of a human face.

  1. Say “Take a picture” to your aibo.
  2. When aibo sits down, turn your face directly towards the front camera.

    aibo says “Tick, tock, tock, arf!” and takes a photo*.

When [Take auto photos] and [Notify of photos by motion] are set to on ([On]) in the My aibo app, aibo performs the following tricks before taking photos automatically.

Note

  • When [Enable photo taking] is set to off ([Off]) in the My aibo app, your aibo cannot take a photo even if you speak to aibo.
