falls up to approximately 5 ft and dustproof thanks to its airtight construction. Seamlessly shifting

Full HD 1080/60i

Record crystal clear movies at the highest resolution available with capabilities for 60i in 1080

AVCHD™ video.³ This provides stunning, fast motion video with less distortion for playback on your

HD TV.

Capture the decisive moment with 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 flying 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.

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

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.

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.

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 different widths to help avoid subject distortion.

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 models have up to

nine effects.

Photo Creativity

Photo Creativity allows you to fine-tune your exposure settings, such as brightness, color, and

vividness, and quickly choose the right enhancement for your subject. Now you can view Picture

Effects and Photo Creativity effects in real time on the camera’s monitor or in the viewfinder

before shooting.
