Optical zoom plus Clear image 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.

Capture the decisive moment - up to 10fps
Capture full 16.2 megapixel resolution images at up to 10 frames per second, helping to ensure
that the decisive moment is captured such as the soccer ball ying into the goal. In addition, a
mechanical shutter helps reduce distortion when continuously shooting moving subjects.
Optical SteadyShot™ with Active Mode
Optical SteadyShot™ with Active Mode for blur-free movies even while walking.4 Camera-shake
compensation using Optical SteadyShot/Active Mode has been improved with the addition of
new electronic image stabilization.Now it’s easier than ever to obtain sharp, blur-free movies
even when zooming in unsteady situations, such as shooting with one hand while walking.
3D Still Image and 3D Sweep Panorama™ mode

Photos will take on a new dimension of creative capabilities for viewing the world in a whole new
way.
Intelligent Sweep Panorama™ HR mode
With Intelligent Sweep Panorama™ HR mode just press the shutter, pan the landscape and let
the camera do the rest. It automatically links together each frame to produce a high resolution
panoramic image providing the ability to zoom in on small details. This model even detects
faces and moving subjects to stitch intelligently dierent widths to help avoid subject distortion.
Background Defocus
DSLR photographs are oen beautiful because they blur the background, putting the emphasis
on the subject. Now our point-and-shoot cameras can deliver this signature DSLR benet. The
system takes two shots, identies the background and applies a defocused background keeping
the subject crisp and clear.

come to life by heightening mood and emphasizing certain attributes. Select models have up to
nine eects.
Superior Auto mode

recognizes the correct scene mode, then quickly shoots and combines up to six shots to produce
images with greater clarity, optimum dynamic range using Backlight Correction HDR technology
and lower image noise using 6 shots layering technology. Superior Auto intelligently detects 33
scenes for still images and movies, making it easy to get the best 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.
