Advanced Flash illuminates distant subjects
Advanced Flash allows you to shoot bright, beautifully lit photos. The built in ash reaches farther resulting in brighter
subjects in dimly lit rooms or outdoors in the evening.
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 ower or an indoor birthday
party; all result in clear images without leaving auto mode.
Sweep Panorama™ mode (up to 360°)
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 up to 360° full circle, the camera can take a variety of panoramic shots. Now
capturing wide landscapes is as easy as press and sweep.
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.
Smile Shutter™ technology
Smile Shutter™ technology captures a smile the moment it happens. Simply press the Smile Shutter™ button and the
camera does the rest. You can also select adult and child priority and indicate the degree of Smile Detection sensitivity.
Intelligent Scene Recognition can now be used together with Smile Shutter™ mode when the Intelligent Auto mode is
on. This means that beautiful smiles can be captured with settings optimized for the particular scene, even in dicult
conditions such as twilight and backlighting.
