optical zoom lens brings
distant subjects closer for
great outdoors, sports, and

Sweep Panorama mode
Reach beyond the
traditional wide angle lens,
and capture more
breathtaking shots with
Sweep Panorama mode. Simply
press the shutter button and
sweep the camera in the
desired direction and the
camera continuously shoots
at a high speed, then
seamlessly stitches the
images together with
automatic position
adjustment to create one
stunning panoramic image.
Available in wide and
ultra-wide options, the
camera can take panoramic
shots of up to 231 degrees.
Now capturing wide
landscapes is as easy as
press and sweep.
SteadyShot image
stabilization
SteadyShot image
stabilization compensates
for camera shake and helps
prevent blur through use of
digital processing
technologies.
Intelligent Auto Mode
Unlike traditional auto
mode, Intelligent Auto
(iAuto) mode thinks for you,
recognizing scenes, lighting
conditions, faces, and
adjusts settings resulting
in clear images, faces with
natural skin tone and less
blur. Take advantage of all
the technology without
leaving Auto mode. Kids on
the playground, landscape
shots, a beautiful flower or
an indoor birthday party;
all result in clear images
without leaving auto mode.
Face Detection
technology
Face Detection technology
detects up to eight
individual faces and adjusts
focus, exposure, and white
balance to help deliver
crisp, properly lit images
of family and friends.
Smile Shutter
technology
Smile Shutter technology
captures a smile the moment
it happens. Simply press the
Smile Shutter button and
the camera does the rest.
You can also select adult
and child priority and
indicate the degree of Smile
Detection sensitivity.
Intelligent Scene
Recognition can now be used
together with Smile Shutter
mode when the Intelligent
Auto mode is on. This means
that beautiful smiles can be
captured with settings
optimized for the particular
scene, even in difficult
conditions such as twilight
and backlighting.
480p AVI VGA Movie Mode
In 480p AVI movie mode
the camera shoots 640 x 480
movies at 30 fps, a standard
format when working with a
PC. Users will create movies
with full use of optical
zoom in files small enough
to transfer to compatible PC
or Mac
computer<P>.</P> Once
transferred to your computer
and connected to the
internet you can
effortlessly upload your
media to popular photo and
video-sharing websites such
as Photobucket
and YouTube.
Soft Skin mode
Portrait subjects will
love the results. Soft Skin
mode recognizes skin tones
and reduces the appearance
of blemishes and wrinkles
without affecting the rest
of the shot.
Natural Flash
Conventional
point-and-shoot camera flash
shots just don't capture
colors the way the eye sees
them. Natural Flash mode
takes a reference shot
without flash and then uses
that reference to correct
the color, for far more
lifelike images.
Self-Portrait Timer
Self-Portrait Timer helps
take the guesswork out of
self portraits by utilizing
Face Detection technology to
recognize when your face
enters the frame. Once the
camera detects your face, it
triggers a 2-second timer,
and then snaps a picture.
Anti-blink Function
Its frustrating to
capture the perfect shot,
only to review it later and
discover subjects blinked
during the photo. The
Anti-blink function works to
help counter blinking and
squinting. When the camera
is set to Soft Snap, the
Anti-blink function captures
two images, recording only
the photo with less
squinting. If a blink is
detected in other shooting
modes, a warning will be
displayed after you take the
shot.
Dynamic Range Optimizer
Standard and Plus
Dynamic Range Optimizer (DRO)
Standard and Plus uses a
sophisticated algorithm to
help recover shadows and
highlights. The result is
more natural images with
clearer details that more
closely match what your
naked eye sees. DRO is
particularly effective when
shooting backlit portraits
or any scene with a dramatic
contrast between background
and foreground lighting. DRO
Plus allows for even greater
optimization by analyzing
each region of an image and
performing additional image
processing.
Intelligent Scene
Recognition (iSCN) Mode
Intelligent Scene
Recognition (iSCN) Mode
automatically detects eight
different types of scenes
and, within just 1/30th of a
second, selects the
appropriate camera settings:
Backlight, Backlight
Portrait, Twilight, Twilight
Portrait, Portrait,
Landscape and macro. iSCN
has two modes: Auto and
Advanced. In Auto Mode, the
camera takes a single shot
using the optimal settings.
In Advanced Mode, the camera
takes a photo with the
optimal settings and, if in
difficult lighting (low
light or back light)
immediately takes a second
photo with another optimized
setting so you can choose
which to keep. |
