The high-quality lens

with 4 x optical zoom is composed of lens elements made of complex optical glass
and it features an ideal range of focal lengths that extends from 28 to 112 mm

camera shake to ensure razor-sharp pictures at all times, even in the telephoto range,
in low light conditions and when you take quick snapshots. And there is a choice
of
three picture formats :
16:9 (8 MP) ; 3:2 (7 MP) ; 4:3 (6 MP) – of which the 16:9
format is HDTV-ready for viewing. The
large 2.5-inch display
with 207,000 pixels
renders a brilliant image for sure evaluation of your composition and reproduction.
The
option of manually setting the aperture and the shutter speed
gives you creative
freedom. However, optimal images are also quick and easy with the
scene programs
and automatic controls.
Select from as many as 14 scene modes. The new Digital
Adapter 2 makes the camera ready for
digiscoping
– fantastic nature photographs
through a spotting scope.
