Produce awe-inspiring images with 3D still image and 3D Sweep Panorama™ capabilities.

 

Photos will take on a new dimension of creative capabilities for viewing the world in a whole new 

way.

Optical zoom plus Clear image zoom  

Most digital zooms use electronic cropping to get closer to the subject, resulting in unsharp 

images. With Clear Image Zoom the powerful processor compares patterns found in adjacent 

pixels and creates new pixels to match selected patterns, resulting in more realistic, higher-quality 

images. Clear Image Zoom doubles optical zoom for closer photos. 

Intelligent Sweep Panorama™ HR mode

With Intelligent Sweep Panorama™ HR mode just press the shutter, pan 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.

Picture Effect

Picture Effect adds a new level of expression to photos, making ordinary landscapes and portraits 

come to life by heightening mood and emphasizing certain attributes. Select models have up to 

nine effects.

Photo Creativity allows you to fine-tune your exposure settings, such as brightness, color, and 

vividness, and quickly choose the right enhancement for your subject. Now you can view Picture 

Effects and Photo Creativity effects in real time on the camera’s monitor or in the viewfinder
