Sweep Panorama™  mode 
Reach beyond the traditional wide 
angle lens, and capture more 
breathtaking 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 ultra-wide options, the camera can 
take panoramic shots of up to 268 
degrees. Now capturing wide 
landscapes is as easy as press and 
sweep.
14.1 Megapixel Super HAD™  CCD 
Image Sensor
A powerful 14.1 megapixel ½ .3” Super 
HAD™  CCD image sensor helps you 
capture gorgeous images with superb 
contrast and clarity down to the finest 
detail. With 14.1 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 (230K 
dots)
Generous 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.
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; all result in 
clear images without leaving auto 
mode.
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.
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.
In camera guide
Take all the guesswork out of 
photography with the in-camera guide. 
Its convenient step by step instructions 
lead you to the perfect shot.
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.
