 G lens. An advanced BIONZ processor rapidly analyzes the Extra-

High Sensitivity data from the sensor, and activates By-Pixel Super Resolution technologies to 

reduce noise levels, resulting in stunning low light images with incredible details.

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.

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 camera models 

have up to nine different effects. 

Photo Creativity

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 

before shooting. 

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

Superior Auto mode
