5X Optical Zoom & 28X with Digital Zoom*

Despite its compact size, this stylish camera boasts a powerful 5X optical zoom, enabling you to get up close, even to faraway subjects, for distortion-free close-ups. And when combined with the 5.6X digital zoom, telephoto shooting at up to 28X is available.

  • * Images may be grainy when using the digital zoom.

Digital Image Stabilization Mode

Using high-sensitivity settings, the Digital Image Stabilization mode prevents the image blur caused by camera shake when taking pictures in low-light conditions and the subject blur produced when shooting moving subjects.

8.0 Megapixels & TruePic III Image Processor

A high-precision 8.0-megapixel CCD captures the most exquisite details of life, while the TruePic III image processor enhances image quality still further and ensures quick camera response.

Advanced Face Detection Technology*1

Sophisticated Face Detection Technology detects up to 3 faces at a time and adjusts the focus and exposure appropriately while the Shadow Adjustment Technology automatically detects shadowy faces and optimally adjusts brightness to compensate. As a result, both the faces in the foreground and the objects in the background can be captured clearly. Another convenient tool for portrait shooting is "Smile Shot"*2, which automatically takes 3 sequential pictures as soon as the subject smiles, making sure you never miss a precious moment.
