Optical Image Stabiliser – Advanced O.I.S. with Active Mode comes in handy when shooting while walking or playing with your children.

With both motion and still images, iA does the bothersome settings for you and makes it easy to capture beautiful, well-focused images. Intelligent Scene Selector - The shooting conditions are detected, and the optimal Scene Mode is automatically selected. Even if the subject should change, there's no need to manually redo the settings, so you can concentrate entirely on your shot. 2.7” Wide LCD – LCD with wide viewing angle. Auto power adjusts to night or day conditions. Intelligent Contrast – Intelligent Contrast Control detects the ambient light level and adjusts the exposure accordingly, helping to prevent blown highlights and blocked shadows. Face Detection – automatically senses the ambient lighting and adjusts the exposure accordingly, so faces are bright and easy to see. The focus also prioritizes the faces, and skin tones are smoothed. Soft Skin Mode - When this function detects skin tones, it softens the focus in that area. This has a skin beautifying effect, which makes wrinkles and lines appear less noticeable. AF-AE Subject Tracking - optimizes the focus and exposure for a selected subject. After you "lock on" to a subject at the center of the screen by pressing the AF/AE button, the camera follows it around, keeping it in sharp focus and properly exposed. Quick Power On – wakes in standby mode in approx. 1.9 seconds, ready to shoot when you are. Pre Rec Function - records three seconds of images even before you actually begin shooting. Helps ensure that you won't miss the start of a moment you want to record.

Color Night Rec/Colour Night View gives you images with color even in dim lighting (2 lx). Zoom Mic – linked with the camera’s zoom function, this allows you to more-clearly record your subject. Wind Noise Canceller - automatically detects and suppresses only wind noise, to give you natural sounds with lifelike ambience. LED Video Light - When the camera determines that the ambient lighting is insufficient, it automatically switches the light on. This illuminates your subject for shooting. The LED (light emitting diode) has low power consumption, a long service life, and the safety of a low operating temperature.
