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
- 16.1 Megapixel Super HAD™ CCD Image Sensor
A powerful 16.1 megapixel 1/2.3” Super HAD™ CCD image sensor helps
you capture gorgeous images with superb contrast and clarity down to the finest
detail. With 16.1 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
Large 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
- Picture Effect
Picture Effect adds a new level of expression to photos, making ordinary landscapes
and portraits come to life by heightening mood and emphasizing certain attributes.
Select camera models have up to nine different effects. See camera specs for
details
- 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; result in clear images
without leaving auto mode
- 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 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 difficult conditions such as twilight and backlighting
- Anti-blink Function
It’s frustrating to capture the perfect shot, only to review it later
and discover subjects blinked during the photo. The Anti-blink function works
to help counter blinking and squinting. When the camera is set to Soft Snap,
the Anti-blink function captures two images, recording only the photo with
less squinting. If a blink is detected in other shooting modes, a warning
will be displayed after you take the shot
- 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
- Intelligent Scene Recognition mode
Intelligent Scene Recognition (iSCN) mode automatically detects 33 different
types of scenes and selects the appropriate camera settings. iSCN has two
modes: Auto and Advanced. In Auto Mode, the camera takes a single shot using
the optimal settings. In Advanced Mode, the camera takes a photo with the
optimal settings and, if in difficult lighting (low light or back light) immediately
takes a second photo with another optimized setting so you can choose which
to keep
- Natural Flash
Conventional point-and-shoot camera flash shots just don't capture colors
the way the eye sees them. Natural Flash controls the white balance of both
the background and main subjects
- Dynamic Range Optimizer
Dynamic Range Optimizer (DRO) Standard and Plus uses a sophisticated algorithm
to help recover shadows and highlights. The result is more natural images
with clearer details that more closely match what your naked eye sees. DRO
is particularly effective when shooting backlit portraits or any scene with
a dramatic contrast between background and foreground lighting. DRO Plus allows
for even greater optimization by analyzing each region of an image and performing
additional image processing
- 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
