10x optical zoom with optical image stabilizer for sharp and steady images.
UD (ultra low dispersion) lens & glass aspherical lens correct aberration due to high magnification for clear, sharp images.

High Definition Movie Shooting
- 16:9 Wide size offers exceptional sharpness and detail, making movies come alive like never before.
High ISO 1600 & Auto ISO Shift
- reduces camera shake and blurring of fast-moving subjects even in low-light condition. Use Auto ISO shift to automatically increase ISO speed until shutter is fast enough to prevent blurring.

Multiple Face Detection Technology
Incorporates the Face Detection AF, Face Detection AE and Face Detection FE, which work hand-in-hand to capture stunning photos of subjects’ faces with sharpness and right exposure easily.
- Face Detection AF: Detects as many as 9 subjects’ faces in a picture. If no faces are detected the AF system automatically switched to the conventional 9-point AiAF setting.
- Face Detection AE: Focus and exposure are controlled and set correctly for capturing the human face so that the subject’s best expression is not missed.
- Face Detection FE: Flash brightness and exposure automatically adjusted to ideal levels
Red eye correction during playback
