Background Defocus
DSLR photographs are often beautiful
because they blur the background,
putting the emphasis on the 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.

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.

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.
