Ultra-Slim Telephoto Camera

Intelligent IS

The camera automatically selects the optimum IS for all situations allowing users to capture crystal-clear, picture-perfect moments whether if they are capturing photographs or video. The Intelligent IS eliminates shake by analyzing the motion of both the camera and subject, and identifies the shot type such as panning, macro or telephoto shot.

Zoom Framing Assist – Seek

At maximum telephoto, it can be very difficult to track a moving subject. Zoom Framing Assist makes it much easier to use the camera’s powerful zoom lens. When you press and hold the Zoom Framing Assist function button, the camera will automatically zoom out to include a wider angle of view, enabling you to more easily locate your moving subject on the LCD screen or through the electronic viewfinder. Released the button once you found the subject and you are ready to capture the perfect close-up moment.
