Document Camera Features
•Business Shot Mode
Record images of documents (A4 size), business cards,
display panels, whiteboard contents, and more with the
touch of a button. Recorded images can then be
incorporated into presentations.
•Auto Trapezoid Correction
In the Business Shot Mode, auto trapezoid correction
automatically corrects distortion of an image caused
when the camera is at an angle to the subject when you
record it.
•Trapezoid Correction
In other modes, you can perform manual trapezoid
correction. You can save the corrected image to a
separate file from the original image.
Digital Camera Features
•4.0 million Effective Pixels
A high-resolution megapixel CCD provides 4.0 million
effective pixels (4.23 million total pixels) for images that
print beautifully.
•2.0-inch TFT color LCD monitor screen
•12X seamless zoom
3X optical zoom, 4X digital zoom
•10MB Flash memory
Images can be recorded without using a memory card.
•Multi Auto Focus
When “Multi”is selected for the Auto Focus area, the
camera takes simultaneous meter readings at seven
different points and automatically selects the best one.
This makes it possible to avoid erroneous focusing on the
background, and ensure proper focus for a wide range of
image types.
•Pan Focus
This feature lets you lock the focus point and ensures that
you do not miss that special moment when it happens.
•Support for SD memory cards and MMC (MultiMedia
Cards) for memory expansion

battery.
•Easy Image Transfer
Transfer images to a computer simply by placing the
camera onto the USB cradle.
•Photo Stand feature
A slideshow of images in file memory can be played while

•BESTSHOT
Simply select the sample scene that matches the type of
image you are trying to record and the camera performs
troublesome setups automatically for beautiful pictures
every time.
•Coupling Shot and Pre-shot
Coupling Shot lets you combine two subjects into a single
image, while Pre-shot lets you add a subject to a
previously recorded background image. This means you
can create images that include you and your friend, even
if you are the only two people around. You can use
Coupling Shot and Pre-shot by selecting the applicable
sample images in the BESTSHOT mode.
•Image Roulette Feature
Images cycle like a slot machine on the display until one
of them remains.
•Triple Self-timer mode
The self-timer can be set up to repeat three times,
automatically.
•Real-time histogram
An on-screen histogram lets you adjust exposure as you
view the effect on overall image brightness, which makes
shooting under difficult lighting conditions easier than
ever before.
•World Time
A simple operation sets the current time for your current
location. You can select from among 162 cities in 32 time
zones.
•Alarm
A built-in alarm helps to keep you on time for important
events, and even can be used in place of an alarm clock.
You can also have a specific image appear, or an audio
file to play when the alarm time is reached.
•Album Function
HTML files are generated automatically to create an
album of recorded images. Album contents can be viewed
and printed using a standard Web browser. Images can
also be incorporated into Web pages quickly and easily.
