The 5X optical zoom lens, covering an angle of view equivalent to
approximately 36 to 180 mm in 35 mm format makes is ideal for shooting a
broad spectrum of subjects, from landscapes to portraits. Combine with the
digital zoom function (approx. 1X to 5.1X), making a maximum zoom
equivalent to 25.5X possible.

focuses on faces, and sets the optimum exposure. Other functions such as
the “Smile Capture” function, which distinguishes smiles and
automatically takes photographs, are also available.

conditions and chooses the optimum settings for Landscape, Portrait, Night
Scene and Normal modes as well as Flower and Sports modes.
Digital SR (Shake Reduction) mode reduces the effect of camera shake and
blurring of the subject when photographing still images. The sensitivity is
adjusted automatically, to as high as the ultrahigh sensitivity of ISO
6400, to match the brightness of the subjects.
