NEW! Dual Image Stabilization The 2-in-1 anti-blur solution for
capturing crisp, clear images! Sensor-Shift Image Stabilization keeps
your shot steady by compensating for camera shake (ideal for shooting
in low light and zooming in on your subject), and Digital Image
Stabilization freezes the action with high ISO sensitivity and faster
shutter speeds.
All-Weather A camera that still works when it’s wet! Designed to let
you shoot in rain, snow, sleet, or hail, the splashproof Stylus 780 lets
you shoot in all types of weather, thanks to rubber seals and gaskets
positioned throughout the camera.
Bright Capture Technology Keep it bright even in low light! When
shooting or recording in low light, Bright Capture allows you to clearly
preview your shot on the LCD and capture brighter, more vivid
images* – without a flash.

7.1 Megapixels The Stylus 780’s high-resolution CCD delivers superior
image quality for larger prints without sacrificing detail.

2.5” HyperCrystalTMLCD More fun in the sun! Now you can easily
compose, view and share your images indoors and outdoors, even in
direct sunlight! The large, high-resolution LCD features a wider viewing
angle (140 degrees, left to right or up and down) and anti-glare technology
that uses natural light to brighten the LCD.
NEW! TruePicTMIII Image Processor Developed for the professional
SLR, the new image processor redefines image quality by delivering true­to-life color, smoother edges, and less noise.

NEW! Shadow Adjustment Technology with Face Detection

Caught in shadow, no problem! Capture smiles in shadows without
getting a dark image in difficult lighting situations such as backlight
with Shadow Adjustment Technology. The new Face Detection Auto
Focus and Auto Exposure detects faces in a scene and automatically
focuses and optimizes exposure for brilliant, sharp results.
NEW! Perfect Shot Preview Preview and capture the perfect shot!
This new addition to the Shooting Guide displays a live, multi-frame
window on the LCD so you can preview the effects of various settings
including zoom, exposure, white balance and metering. Simply select
the frame with the setting you want, point and shoot!
23 Shooting Modes including Movie with Sound Getting the best
shot has never been easier! Preset shooting modes optimize the camera’s
settings for any shooting situation to ensure you capture a great shot.
