Construction
6 elements in 5 
groups (including 
3 aspheric 
elements)
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 now 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.
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 (iSCN) Mode
Intelligent Scene Recognition (iSCN) Mode automatically detects seven different types of scenes 
and, within just 1/30th of a second, selects the appropriate camera settings: Backlight, Backlight 
Portrait, Twilight, Twilight Portrait, Twilight using a tripod, Portrait, Landscape and macro.  
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.
Picture Effect for more expressive photos
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.
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.
