Carl Zeiss
Vario-Tessar Lens with 26mm
equivalent wide 4x Optical Zoom
The high-performance Carl Zeiss
Vario-Tessar 4x optical zoom
lens brings distant subjects closer for
video recording as well as for outdoor,
sports, and travel photos, and Close
Focus shoots close-ups within a of
the subject. A wide angle of 26mm
equivalent wide-angle lens allows you to
take wider shots of the scene or group
in crowded spaces.
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 230 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, the standard
format when working with a PC. Users
will create movies in files small enough
to transfer to a compatible PC or Mac
and connected to the internet. Once
transferred to your computer
effortlessly upload 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, Twilight using a tripod,
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.
High Sensitivity Mode (ISO 3200)
High ISO allows for faster shutter
speed, so you can take photos indoors or
in low light without the need for a
flash. In addition to High Sensitivity
Mode (ISO), you can select up to seven
ISO settings (Auto, 125, 200, 400, 800,
1600, 3200) when shooting in Program
Auto Mode to adjust sensitivity to your
shooting conditions.
Easy Shooting Mode
With Easy Shooting Mode, even beginners
can take great photos. In Easy Shooting
Mode, easy-to-understand basic
instructions are displayed on the LCD
screen and the camera switches to all
automatic settings, removing several
function choices and allowing you to
focus on just your subject. Since this
mode works together with Intelligent
Scene Recognition, the camera selects
the optimum setting for each scene. In
addition the easy mode simplifies
preview mode.
In-Camera Retouching Tools

go with in-camera Trimming, Red-Eye
Correction, and Unsharp Masking
functions.
