A camera is always a matter of personal style. Based on this principle we developed the extremely slim, metal-bodied � 1040 which fits
a 3x optical zoom to let you get close to your subject and take sharp high-definition photos. The extra-large 6.9cm/2.7” HyperCrystal
LCD enables you to view your images in exceptional quality on the screen and makes framing easy, even in brilliant sunlight. And the
Intelligent Auto Mode combines Advanced Face Detection and Shadow Adjustment Technology with the five most commonly used
scenes. The Advanced Face Detection detects up to 16 persons in the scene. As a result, the � 1040 is the perfect symbiosis of seeing
and being seen.
