What are the features and how will they benefit you? |
|
Optical Image Stabiliser (Mega O.I.S.) - helps eliminate blur due to shaky hands which is very important at full zoom, macro (close-up), or in low-light.
24mm Wide Lens – Fit more in the picture with a wide lens. Great for group shots, landscapes, architecture - any situation where you need to capture more in your shots.
F2.0 Lens Aperture – fast aperture lens for better low-light performance and attractive bokeh (soft-focus background).
RAW image format – high-quality uncompressed image format allows you to retain highlights and shadows lost in JPEG compression; also you can undo or manipulate a range of camera settings, using software, such as: colour, white balance, exposure compensation, levels.
Venus Engine IV with ISO 6400 – high speed image processor with ultra-high sensitivity (ISO 6400) and excellent noise reduction for better low-light photography. Also features short shutter lag (approx. 0.005 seconds), fast 6 frames per second high-speed capture (at 3mp), and low power consumption (approx. 380 shots on a single charge).
System Expandability – a range of optional accessories will be available such as Optical Viewfinder, Conversion Lenses, Flash Units etc.
Full HD 1080i Output - lets you watch a slideshow of your photos on a High Definition TV (requires optional component cable DMW-HDC2). |
