Take and review photos with ease
The generous 3.0” (230K pixels) Clear Photo™
LCD display 1 features sharp, natural colors that
make it easy to compose shots, read menus,
and view photos—even in bright sunlight.
Access simplifi ed camera
operations
Even the most novice of digital camera users
can take the best shot using Easy Shooting
Mode. This feature uses the camera’s Intelligent
Scene Recognition capability to automatically
adjust its settings based on different shooting
scenarios. In this mode, the LCD screen only
displays basic, easy-to-understand functions to
simplify your experience.
Minimize blur in your shots
SteadyShot® image stabilization compensates
for camera shake and helps prevent blur
through use of digital processing technologies.
Enjoy automatic adjustment of
key camera settings
Unlike traditional auto mode, Intelligent Auto
(iAUTO) mode thinks for you, recognizing scenes,
lighting conditions, faces, and adjusts settings
resulting clear images, faces with natural skin
tone and less blur. With iAUTO you will take the
best shot in many situations from landscapes
to fast action sporting events without having to
manually change all of the cameras settings.
Take better photos under 7
different shooting conditions—
automatically
Intelligent Scene Recognition (iSCN) Mode
detects specifi c shooting conditions for
7 common scenarios, including: Twilight,
Twilight Portrait, Backlight, Backlight Portrait,
Landscape, Macro, and Portrait. In just 1/30th
of a second, the camera automatically
optimizes its settings for the selected scene.
Get those winning smiles every time
Smile Shutter™ technology snaps a photo of
a smile the moment it happens. Simply press
the Smile Shutter™ button and the camera
does the rest. This function can also be used in
conjunction with Intelligent Scene Recognition
to detect smiles in challenging backlit
environments, employing a fl ash and backlight
compensation to capture smiles more clearly.
Take more natural-looking shots
of people
Face Detection technology detects up to eight
individual faces in the frame, then adjusts the
camera’s focus, exposure, and fl ash to deliver
crisp, properly lit images of family and friends.
Edit photos on the fl y
Retouch and enhance your photos on the
go with in-camera Trimming and Red-Eye
Correction functions.
