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.

images with superb contrast and clarity down to the finest detail. With 14.1 megapixels, you can

Generous 2.7” (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.

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.

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.

Anti-blink Function

It’s frustrating to capture the perfect shot, only to review it later and discover subjects blinked 

during the photo.  The Anti-blink function works to help counter blinking and squinting. When the 

camera is set to Soft Snap, the Anti-blink function captures two images, recording only the photo 

with less squinting. If a blink is detected in other shooting modes, a warning will be displayed after 

you take the shot.

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
