Intelligent Sweep
Panorama™ HR mode
With Intelligent Sweep Panorama™ HR
mode just press the shutter, pan across the
landscape and let the camera do the rest.
It automatically links together each frame to
produce a high resolution panoramic image
providing the ability to zoom in on small
details. This model even detects faces and
moving subjects to stitch intelligently different
widths to help avoid subject distortion.
Background Defocus
DSLR photographs are often beautiful because
they blur the background, putting the emphasis
on the subject. Now our point-and-shoot
cameras can deliver this signature DSLR benefi t.
The system takes two shots, identifi es the
background and applies a defocused back-
ground keeping the subject crisp and clear.
