Backlight Correction HDR

Don’t miss a single detail in high contrast shots. The built in backlight correction analyzes

the image and automatically adjusts accordingly to give you a perfectly lit shot. Backlight

Correction HDR helps correct for this by taking three pictures at different exposure settings and

processing the best elements of each into a single image for more natural looking shots.

3D Still Image and 3D Sweep Panorama™ mode

Produce awe-inspiring images with 3D still image and 3D Sweep Panorama™ capabilities.

Photos will take on a new dimension of creative capabilities for viewing the world in a whole new

way.

Intelligent Sweep Panorama™ mode

With Intelligent Sweep Panorama™ 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 different widths to help avoid subject distortion.

Hi-speed Linear Focus

Life moves fast, your camera’s focus needs to move just as fast. The Hi-speed linear focus

achieves dramatically clearer images with an auto focus that moves just as fast as your life.

Background Defocus

DSLR photographs are often beautiful because they blur the background, putting the emphasis

on your subject. Now our point-and-shoot cameras can deliver this signature DSLR benefit. The

system takes two shots, identifies the background and applies a defocused background keeping

the subject crisp and clear.

Superior Auto mode

Get cleaner, more dynamic pictures and fewer missed shots. The camera automatically

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 44 scenes for movies, making it easy to get the best shot.

Digital Zoom

Capturing the right shot at the right moment has never been so easy. Digital zoom brings you

right close up to the action so you can get that perfect shot, every time.

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.

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.
