What are the features and how will they benefit you? |
|
Optical Image Stabilisation – works to counteract blurred images due to shaky hands - important at full zoom where a small movement of the hand can cause a lot of movement at the other end.
Face Detection - focuses on faces rather than other picture elements that might be in the foreground or background.
Smile Shutter – in this mode, press the shutter button fully down; the camera will detect when somebody in the frame smiles, and take a picture.
High ISO Sensitivity (ISO 3200) - this will help you take better photos in low-lighting.
Clear Raw Noise Reduction – reduces image “noise” that may appear due to increased light sensitivity.
Full HD 1080i Output - lets you watch a slideshow of your photos on a High Definition TV using optional HD Component Cable VMCMHC1. |
