•Auto Pan Focus (page 68)
When you press the shutter button all the way down
without pausing, the camera immediately records the
image without waiting for Auto Focus to be performed.
This helps to avoid missing a special moment while you
wait for the camera to Auto Focus.

•Bundled with a USB Cradle (pages 31, 118, 155, 159)

troublesome setups automatically for beautiful pictures
every time.

when recording the image of a business card, document,
whiteboard, or similar subjects from an angle.
•Coupling Shot and Pre-shot (pages 84, 86)
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.
•Triple Self-timer (page 62)

automatically.

events, and even can be used in place of an alarm clock.
You can also have a specific image appear, or a movie or
audio file to play when the alarm time is reached.
