Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization
Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization uses a built-in gyro sensor to detect camera shake and
automatically shis the lens to help prevent blur without sacricing image quality.
Active mode
Stabilize hand held HD movies with active mode. For recording on the go this feature was
designed to minimize motion capturing the video without all of the movement.
Motion Detection
Motion Detection, along with Face Motion Detection adjusts ISO sensitivity and increases the
shutter speed when movement is detected, reducing blur in moving subjects and faces.
Intelligent Auto Mode
Unlike traditional auto mode, Intelligent Auto (iAuto) mode does the thinking, 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 ower or an indoor birthday party; all result in clear
images without leaving auto mode.
So Skin mode
Portrait subjects will love the results. So Skin mode recognizes skin tones and reduces the
appearance of blemishes and wrinkles without aecting the rest of the shot.
Natural Flash
Conventional point-and-shoot camera ash shots just don't capture colors the way the eye sees
them. Natural Flash mode takes a reference shot without ash and then uses that reference to
correct the color, for far more lifelike images.
In camera guide
Take all the guesswork out of photography with the in camera guide. Its convenient step-bystep instructions lead to a perfect shot.
