confused.JPG What are the features and how will they benefit you?

Waterproof – waterproof to 6 metres. Also, if you get it muddy or spill a drink on it, just rinse off with fresh water!

Coldproof – can withstand temperatures as low as -10° Celsius – perfect for skiing, snowboarding etc.

Shockproof - rugged design protects against shocks from small drops of up to 1.2 metres. It’s rubberized housing minimizes damage to the body and reduces shock to the interior mechanisms.

“Pixel Track” SR Digital Image Stabilisation - Reduces blur caused by camera shake or subject movement. It helps when shooting at long zoom lengths, in low-light, or if hand is unsteady. 

28mm Wide Lens – Fit more in the picture with a wide lens. Great for group shots, landscapes, architecture or any situation where you need to capture more of the image.

Face Recognition - automatically detects faces (up to 32) and focuses on them (rather than just focusing somewhere in the centre).  It also sets the exposure so that faces don't get darkened when there is bright light in the background.

Smile Capture & Blink Warning – in this mode once shutter button is pressed the camera will detect when somebody in the frame smiles and then take a picture. Also gives you a warning if subject blinks so you can immediately re-shoot.

Super Macro Mode - take stunning close-ups as near as 1cm away from subject

Auto Tracking AF – continuously focuses on a moving subject.

Auto Picture Mode - automatically selects the most appropriate shooting mode for a given subject or scene by detecting the subject’s lighting and other conditions (from Landscape, Portrait, Night Scene, Night Scene Portrait, Flower, Sport, Standard and Candlelight modes). Also features an auto macro mode, which automatically switches the camera’s focus range to macro in close-up applications.

Small Face Filter - for better proportioned, more attractive portraits this filter makes the subject's face appear slightly smaller than in reality in recorded images, helping you to create better proportioned, more attractive portraits.

Digital Filters - In addition to the conventional digital filters such as Black & White, Sepia and Color, the Optio W90 also offers other creative options, including Toy Camera, Retro, Soft, Extract Color, Color Emphasis, High Contrast, Starburst, Fish-eye, and Brightness. These filters lets you add creative and artistic touches to your images in-camera with minimal effort.

Original Frame Function - comes with 45 different decorative photo frames in two different sizes to produce eye-catching, fun-packed pictures.

Pet Detection Mode - automatically detect the faces of up to three cats or dogs

AF Spotbeam Projector - assures pinpoint autofocusing in the dark

Compatible with Eye-Fi Wireless SD Memory Cards – sold separately, these cards allow you to upload images using a wireless network

CALS Mode - conforming to the Construction CALS (Commerce at Light Speed) standards

World-Time Clock - a handy tool on overseas trips, as it provides the real-time display of standard time in 75 cities in 28 time zones around the world, as well as the time difference between your home town and travel destination.

Calendar Function - calendar function automatically files captured images into day-by-day folders, you can instantly recall the images recorded on a particular day by selecting that day on the calendar screen.

Removable Carabiner Strap – Included with the W90 is a carabiner strap for keeping your camera both secure and near at hand when in challenging environments.

D-Range Setting – dynamic range setting helps to prevent whitewashed (overexposed) and blacked-out (underexposed) areas in an image.

Micro HDMI Output – for viewing your videos and photos on an HDTV. Requires Type D Micro HDMI cable (sold separately)
