Key Features
30x optical zoom plus 60x Clear Image Digital Zoom
Get super close with 30x optical zoom plus 60x Clear Image digital zoom. 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.
Optical SteadyShot® image stabilization
Optical SteadyShot® image stabilization reduces shake and blur by countering camera movements in both horizontal
and vertical directions.³ Active 3-Way stabilization adds digital rolling control that counters clockwise and anti-clockwise
rotation, resulting in more stable videos even at long focal lengths
