The joystick makes the camera much easier to use,
letting you control all basic operations with one
hand. As you shoot, just watch the image in the
monitor and follow the instruction guide. You can
handle a number of operations quickly and easily,
without even taking your eye off the subject.

This function detects skin tones and softens the focus in those areas, making complexions look
more attractive. Wrinkles and lines seem to disappear.
Just press a button and you're ready to shoot macro close-ups of
subjects a mere 40 cm from the lens. The subject will have a clear,
sharp focus, while the background focus is softened.

O.I.S./MEGA O.I.S. Lenses
The lenses move up/down or
left/right and bends the
incoming light to correct
hand-shake.
The O.I.S. helps assure clear, beautiful pictures by compensating for any hand-shake that
occurs as you shoot. Gyrosensors detect the amount and direction of hand-shake and a linear
motor adjusts the lenses as needed to compensate. While electronic systems correct the hand-
shake in the CCD image itself, the optical process takes place before the CCD imaging stage –
so there's virtually no effect on image resolution or viewing angle. And because it's a real-time
process that operates 500 times* per second, there are no afterimages or any of the unnatural
feeling you get with internal complementing methods. Instead, you get clear, sharp images even
when taking wide-angle shots or using the zoom at high magnification levels.
*GS400: 480 times
The MEGA O.I.S. system takes O.I.S. technology a step further by adding a sensitivity selector.
This allows MEGA O.I.S. to provide about twice* as much hand-shake correction when shooting
still pictures as conventional O.I.S. provides with moving pictures. MEGA O.I.S. can even correct
for hand-shake when shooting still pictures with the zoom or macro function, or when shooting
in dim lighting.
