Features:

12.1 Megapixel Super HAD™ CCD Image Sensor:

A powerful 12.1 megapixel 1/2.3” Super HAD™ CCD image sensor helps you capture gorgeous images with superb contrast and clarity down to the finest detail. With 12.1 megapixels, you can create stunning, photo-quality prints up to A3+ (13x9”) size, or crop your images and still come away with high resolution shots.

3.0" Clear Photo LCD™ display (230k pixels):

Generous 3.0”¹ (230K pixels) 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 Scene Recognition:

Intelligent Scene Recognition (iSCN) Mode automatically detects five different types of scenes conditions (Backlight, Backlight Portrait, Twilight, Twilight Portrait, and Twilight using a Tripod ) and within 1/30th of a second selects the appropriate camera settings:. iSCN has 2 modes: Auto and Advanced. In Auto Mode, the camera takes a single shot using the optimal settings. In Advance Mode, the camera takes a photo with the standard automatic settings and, in difficult lighting (low light or back light) immediately takes a second photo with optimized setting so you can chose which to keep.

Double Anti-blur Solution:

The combination of Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization and High ISO sensitivity helps compensate for shaky hands, minimizes blur, and allows flash-free shooting to preserve the mood.

Auto Mode:

Auto Mode automatically adjusts exposure and white balance settings for better pictures, and can be enhanced further with a simple change in the settings menu. When Intelligent Scene Recognition (iSCN) and Face Detection are activated in Auto Mode, the camera goes a step further, automatically adjusting to scene conditions and capturing faces naturally. Whether you’re shooting landscapes, capturing playground action, or taking pictures at a birthday party or wedding shower, the intuitive Auto Mode will optimize your camera’s settings to help ensure you come away with a great shot.

Smile Shutter™ technology:

The popular Smile Shutter™ technology automatically detects and captures a smiling face. Simply activate by pressing the Smile Shutter button and the camera will capture a smile the moment it happens. You can also select subject priority (Adult or Child Priority or touch subject on screen) and indicate the degree of Smile Detection Sensitivity to high (small smile), medium (laugh) or low (grin). Smile Shutter also makes a great substitute for the self timer. Just smile once everyone is ready, and the camera will automatically capture the shot.

High Sensitivity Mode (ISO 3200):

High ISO allows for faster shutter speed, so you can take photos indoors or in low light without the need for a flash. In addition to High Sensitivity Mode (ISO), you can select up to eight ISO settings (Auto, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200) when shooting in Program Auto Mode to adjust sensitivity to your shooting conditions.
