VR Optical Image Stabilization
Stability advanced... images enhanced
This mode automatically
compensates for minor
camera movements, lets
you shoot without blurring
in lower light and allows
you to take advantage of
slower shutter speeds.
Originally developed for Nikon SLR lenses, the Optical Image Stabilization system helps you overcome camera shake.
The system automatically detects and compensates for small movements that would otherwise cause images to blur,
and enables a shooting experience similar to shooting at shutter speeds three stops faster, while also providing a
smoother image on the LCD. The result is sharper pictures when shooting in low light, taking advantage of the 3.5x
zoom when using the optical telephoto converter lens. Great for shooting steadier movies as well!
Better pictures
in lower light
High light sensitivity up to
ISO 3200 allows you to tackle
scenes and situations far beyond
the capabilities of conventional
compacts, offering new power
to capture fast-moving objects
with outstanding clarity and
gives you great exposure in
significantly lower light.

Versatile Shooting Modes
The new Mode dial gives access to four exposure modes that advanced
photographers desire for even greater control over camera operations.
Programmed Auto (P) mode automatically selects shutter and aperture
settings for optimal exposure. Shutter-priority Auto (S) lets the photographer
automatically select a desired shutter speed, and the camera sets the optimal
aperture setting. Aperture-priority Auto (A) offers 10-step control over the
aperture setting in 1/3 EV increments to let the photographer control depth
of field, while the camera automatically adjusts the shutter speed to achieve
optimal exposure. Manual (M) exposure mode gives the photographer full
control over both aperture and shutter speed settings. In addition, a selection
of 16 Scene modes and seven different movie modes can be easily accessed
via the Mode dial and high-resolution 2.5 inch LCD.
