nearly twice as many (1.8x) viewable colors
than currently possible. This provides a
more accurate and vivid color range, for a
more natural, lifelike overall experience.

extreme digital zooming is clearer, with less
distortion than previous types of digital
zoom.

multi-layer coating that offers less glare
and flare with increased contrast. This
results in vivid image brilliance, true-to-life
color saturation and perfectg renditions
ofsubtle tones. The additional T coating on
the lens further reduces unwanted glare
and flare.
