The 10-megapixel CCD and EXILIM Engine combination enables Non-deterioration zoom, which provides high quality images that are on par with optical zoom. Non-deterioration zoom extracts the required portion of the largest size available for the recorded image, which results in close ups that do not suffer from the deterioration normally associated with digital zoom.
When recording with 5-megapixels pixels, for example, the equivalent of about 4.3x optical zoom can be obtained. *For image size setting from 5 megapixels to VGA
You can crop a 10-megapixel image to extract only the part you want. Even when printed on 3.5" x 5" paper, the resulting image is crisp and clear.
A stripe array LCD makes text clearer for easier reading of document images.
The backlight of the monitor screen provides a brightness level of approximately 1200 cm/m2* for easy viewing, even in bright outdoors.
The camera can be configured to adjust screen brightness automatically in accordance with available light, or you can select one of four fixed brightness levels.

You can change the resolution of the monitor screen to suit your needs and preferences. This new function makes viewing images more enjoyable.
For crisp, clear images of subjects under bright outdoor lighting
For display images that are more vivid than recorded images
For display images that are close to recorded images
For easy viewing of display images under dark conditions
For lower power consumption
The effects of hand movement are reduced even when shooting indoors where lighting is dim.
The effects of subject movement are reduced for beautiful images.
Both images appear on the monitor screen at the same time, so you can compare the wide angle and close up images as you shoot them.
When you press the shutter button all the way without pausing, Quick Shutter focuses the image virtually immediately. This lets you capture fast-moving action, and also eliminates the chance of focus error when you ask someone who does no know how to half-press the shutter button to record an image for you.
Flash Continuous Shutter is made possible by flash intensity control technology and high-sensitivity technology. Up to three images can be shot within a one-second interval, so you can capture all of those special moments, even when lighting is dim.
EXILIM means speed. High-Speed Continuous Shutter lets you shoot up to three images within a one-second interval with the single press of the shutter button.
Flash Assist enhances images in cases where the flash cannot reach the background or other objects. The camera detects available light automatically and enhances the flash to make dark images brighter and clearer.
If the subject is in the range of 6 cm to 50 cm, the camera will switch to the Macro Mode automatically, even if the Auto Focus Mode is currently selected. This helps to ensure that your images are always in focus and reduces the chance of focus error.
With previous Auto Focus, close-up images often are out of focus.
With Auto Macro, even close-ups are in perfect focus.
9-point Auto Focus provides high-speed, high precision auto focus system that makes perfect images as simple as point-and-press. The result is perfectly focused images every time.
Traditional AF shows only one focus area.
9-point Multi AF shows all focus areas that are in focus.
The length of Motion JPEG movies with audio length is unlimited as long as camera memory is available. The clear, beautiful 640 x 480-pixel (VGA) movies can be played back on the camera's monitor screen or on a TV screen using the bundled AV cable.
Movie Cut feature for on-camera editing
Simple editing procedures can be performed on the camera, without using a computer.
Motion Print for easy printing of movie images
Motion Print lets you print a specific frame of a movie as a snapshot. You can create a single-image snapshot, or a nine-image snapshot.
You can turn on display of monitor screen gridlines when you need them. The grid helps to compose images and helps to ensure that you are holding the camera straight.
Icon Guide help messages appear on the monitor screen in the REC mode to explain the meanings of icons as you use them.
The RGB histogram lets you check exposure for each individual color, which supports fine adjustment of exposure to ensure you get exactly the color you want.
Exposure Adjustment
A histogram lopsided to the left indicates underexposure, while a rightward histogram indicates overexposure. A centered histogram indicates correct exposure.
During movie recording, a single-value (non-RGB) histogram can be displayed.

The histogram cannot be displayed during movie playback.
