What are the features and how will they benefit you? |
|
Digital Image Stabilisation – helps reduce camera shake blur by taking two images with a high shutter speed under low light conditions. These are then combined and as a result, a bright, stable image can be achieved because the signal level is increased.
Face Detection - focuses on faces (up to 8) rather than other picture elements that might be in the foreground or background.
High ISO Sensitivity (ISO 3200) -this will help you take better photos in low lighting.
12.1 Megapixel Sensor – print up to A2 size or crop your images down whilst maintaining image quality.
Red-eye Correction – By using the retouch function, red eyes can be fixed in-camera with the push of a button
Scene Selection Modes – Seven scene modes allow you to quickly adjust for specific shooting conditions, including High Sensitivity, Twilight, Twilight Portrait, Landscape, Soft Snap, Snow, and Beach. |
