•

8.1 million effective pixels, 3X optical zoom.

•

2.6-inch wide screen LCD display

•

Easy Mode, which displays simple shooting menus on the right side of the monitor.

•

High-quality movies using the H.264 standards

•

The combination of face detection technology and the auto-tracking AF system using motion analysis technology maintains both sharp focus and correct exposure for a human face.

•

EXILIM Engine 2.0 image processor

–	Tonal control lets users keep bright areas of the scene bright by limiting the occurrence of dark pixels.
–	Offers ability to selectively eliminate noise in designated color regions, such as the sky.

•

Blur reduction technologies

–	Based on motion analysis technology, sets the most appropriate ISO sensitivity and shutter speed.
–	Anti Shake DSP reduces blur due to hand and subject movement, using high shutter speeds and high sensitivity settings.
–	Movie mode with electronic image stabilization function.

•

Approximately 5 images/second*1 high-speed continuous shutter (at 2.0 megapixel image size)
