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.

way.
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.
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 benefit. The
system takes two shots, identifies the background and applies a defocused background keeping
the subject crisp and clear.
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.
Superior Auto mode
Get cleaner, more dynamic pictures and fewer missed shots. The camera automatically
recognizes the correct scene mode, then quickly shoots and combines up to six shots to produce
images with greater clarity, optimum dynamic range using Backlight Correction HDR technology
and lower image noise using 6 shots layering technology. Superior Auto intelligently detects 33
scenes for still images and movies, making it easy to get the best shot.
