 Lens with 26mm equivalent wide 4x Optical Zoom
The high-performance Carl Zeiss
®
 Vario-Tessar
®
 4x optical zoom lens brings distant subjects closer 
for video recording as well as for outdoor, sports, and travel photos, and Close Focus shoots 
close-ups within a  ½” of  the subject.  A wide angle of 26mm equivalent wide-angle lens allows 
you to take wider shots of the scene or group in crowded spaces.
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 230 
degrees. Now capturing wide landscapes is as easy as press and sweep.
SteadyShot

 image stabilization
SteadyShot
®
 image stabilization compensates for camera shake and helps prevent blur through 
use of digital processing technologies. 
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.
480p  AVI  VGA Movie Mode
In 480p AVI movie mode the camera shoots 640 x 480 movies at 30 fps, the standard format 
when working with a PC.  Users will create movies in files small enough to transfer to a compatible 
PC or Mac
®
 computer and connected to the internet.³  Once transferred to your computer 
effortlessly upload media to popular photo and video-sharing websites  such as Photobucket
®
 
and YouTube™.
