Key Features

50x Optical/100x Clear Image Zoom G Lens

Get amazingly close with 50x optical zoom plus 100x Clear Image zoom G lens . Most digital zooms use electronic
cropping to get closer to the subject, resulting in unsharp images. With Clear Image Zoom the powerful processor
compares patterns found in adjacent pixels and creates new pixels to match selected patterns, resulting in more realistic,
higher-quality images. Clear Image Zoom doubles optical zoom for closer photos.

mode). When the processor and image stabilization technology work together they deliver sharp image quality with low
noise and minimal blur even while the user is strolling and the camera is zoomed in
