the best highlight detail from one shot, the best mid-tones from a second and the best shadow detail from a third for one
incredible shot (up to 6 EV stops). Captures in a split second. (Recommended for still subjects.)

and flash to help deliver crisp, properly lit images of family and friends. Can prioritize children or adults

continuously shooting images and stitching them together. Up to 23 MP image size. Up to 202 degrees maximum sweep
