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 268
degrees. Now capturing wide
landscapes is as easy as press and
sweep.
14.1 Megapixel Super HAD™ CCD
Image Sensor
A powerful 14.1 megapixel ½ .3”
Super
HAD™ CCD image sensor helps you
capture gorgeous images with superb
contrast and clarity down to the finest
detail. With 14.1 megapixels, you can
create stunning, photo
-quality prints up
to A3+ (13x19”) size, or crop your
images and still come away with high
resolution shots.
3.0” Clear Photo™ LCD display (230K
dots)
Generous 3.0” (
230K dots) Clear
Photo™ LCD display features sharp,
natural color that makes it easy to
compose shots, read menus, and view
photos, even in bright sunlight.
Optical SteadyShot™ image
stabilization
Optical SteadyShot™ image
stabilization uses a built-in gyro sensor
to detect camera shake and
automatically shifts the lens to help
prevent blur without sacrificing image
quality.
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.
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.
In camera guide
Take all the guesswork out of
photography with the in-camera guide.
Its convenient step by step instructions
lead you to the perfect shot.
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.
