Features & Benefits

One-Touch Navigation for easy, intuitive setting and shooting without taking your eyes off the subject

With One-Touch Navigation, just press the centre of the joystick to display an operating menu. The operations you use most often are right on the monitor, so it's easy to change settings or operate the camera without looking away from your subject.Just turn the dial and you're ready to shoot or to view the images afterward. Just rotate the dial with your fingertip to select the icon that corresponds to the mode you want.

Tele-Macro for sharp focusing, from a short distance

Using the zoom at full magnification, you can shoot macro close-ups
while maintaining a short distance from your subject. This makes
it much easier to capture extreme close-ups without your body
or camera casting a shadow on the subject and while keeping the
background in soft focus.

Soft Skin Mode for smoother look

When this function detects skin tones, it softens the focus in that area. This has a skin beautifying effect, which makes wrinkles and lines appear less noticeable. When turned on, this function makes blemishes and moles look less conspicuous, while preserving resolution in areas of the picture outside of the skin.

Colour Night View Captures crisp, vivid images, even in low lighting

Leave the light off. Colour Night View gives you images with colour even in dim lighting. Light is gentle and easy on the eyes, so you can snap shots of sleeping children without waking them up.

Easy On/Off saves battery life

When you open the LCD, the power switches on. Shut it and the power goes off. Pull out the viewfinder and the power switches on. Store it and the power goes off. Easy On/Off reduces the time required for operating the camera.

Easy to see, even outdoors -
Power LCD

Simply press the Power LCD button and the LCD becomes brighter, making it easier to see outdoors or in other bright locations. Also, a new scanning technology allows the LCD to show diagonal lines more sharply.

Helps prevent wasted shots
AGS (Anti-Ground Shooting mode)

The O.I.S. linear motor system can
detect when the camera is in an unusual shooting position - when you've inadvertently left it on in
recording mode. In these cases, the camera automatically stops recording, saving both battery power and disc space.
*This mode can be selected from the menu.

High-performance image processing Crystal Engine & Pure Colour Engine

The Crystal Engine is a special image processing circuit for 3CCD camera systems. It processes the R, G and B signals from the three CCDs individually, so it gives both moving and still pictures exceptional quality. And the Pure Colour Engine converts the CCD output signal from a complementary colour signal into an RGB signal at an early stage and extracts the low-frequency luminance component from the RGB signal. This innovative engine also achieves truly superb colour reproduction for high zoomed pictures.
