saves pictures as compact JPEG files and/or ultra-high quality RAW files. RAW
files save images prior to de-mosaicing, white balance, sharpness and color
enhancement. This retains maximum latitude for enhancing the image on your
PC.Full HD 1080/60pRecord crystal clear movies at the highest resolution
available with capabilities for 60p in 1080. This provides stunning, fast
motion video with less distortion for playback on your HD TV.2 With dual
record of stills and movies, you can shoot both at the same time.Low-light ISO
6400 sensitivityncredibly clear low-light pictures without sacrificing detail,
made possible by the low-noise Exmor® CMOS image sensor and refined BIONZ®
image processor.High speed Auto FocusTo improve focusing speed and
sensitivity, the Exmor® CMOS sensor uses its rapid throughput to deliver
high-quality image signals to the camera’s BIONZ® processor, which provides
intelligent response data to a new high speed actuator motor in the lens. The
result is fast, DSLR-like focusing speeds even in low light.Capture the
decisive moment with up to 10fpsCapture full 20.2 megapixel resolution images
at up to 10 frames per second, helping to ensure that the decisive moment is
captured such as the soccer ball flying into the goal. In addition, a
mechanical shutter helps reduce distortion when continuously shooting moving
subjects.3" Xtra Fine LCD DisplayThe 3" (1,229k dots) Xtra Fine LCD Display
makes it easy to scroll through menus and preview life. WhiteMagic increases
visibility in bright daylight. The large display delivers brilliant-quality
still images and movies while enabling easy focusing operation.Customizable
function buttonAssign up to seven different functions to the function button,
to allow quick access to your most frequently used features.Optical SteadyShot
with Active ModeOptical SteadyShot™ with Active Mode for blur-free movies even
while walking. Camera-shake compensation using Optical SteadyShot/Active Mode
has been improved with the addition of new electronic image stabilization. Now
it’s easier than ever to obtain sharp, blur-free movies even when zooming in
unsteady situations, such as shooting with one hand while walking.Memory
recallMR (memory recall) mode can memorize up to three groups of the user's
preferred settings. Settings include zoom magnification, white balance,
exposure compensation, date, and grid lines. This enables quick switching of
settings at the right moment.Sophisticated metal bodyThe sophisticated
aluminum body is lightweight, slim, and strong.Auto portrait framingSimply
photograph a person and Auto Portrait Framing will save an additional,
optimally framed image in portrait or landscape orientation. Combining Face
Detection and By Pixel Super Resolution technologies with rule of thirds, Auto
Portrait Framing provides beautifully composed and appealingly balanced full
resolution portraits.Auto HDR modeCaptures more scene dynamic range than a
single exposure can handle—and more range than photo film. Combines the best
highlight detail from one shot, the best mid-tones from a second and the best
shadow detail from a third for one incredible shot (up to 6 EV stops).
Captures in a split second. (Recommended for still subjects.)Face Detection/
Registration technologyThe camera can automatically detect and register up to
eight individual faces and adjust focus, exposure, white balance and flash to
help deliver crisp, properly lit images of family and friends. Can prioritize
children or adults.Multi-aspect ratio recording for still imagesCapture still
images in any of four aspect ratios — 1:1, 2:3, 4:3, or 16:9 (vertical to
horizontal). This provided the freedom to choose a ratio that matches the
scene or the specific shooting purpose.3.6x optical/7.2x Clear Image digital
zoomMost digital zooms use electronic cropping to get closer to the subject,
resulting in unsharp images. With Clear Image Zoom the powerful processor
compares patterns found in adjacent pixels and creates new pixels to match
selected patterns, resulting in more realistic, higher-quality images. Clear
Image Zoom digitally doubles optical zoom for closer photos.Built in pop up
flashEnjoy the convenience of flash photography everywhere you go.Four
focusing modesThis camera has two Autofocus modes: Single-shot AF (AF-S) or
Continuous AF (AF-C), which tracks moving objects. It also has Manual Focus
for manual focusing freedom, and Direct Manual Focus (DMF), that first uses
autofocusing to focus on the subject, and then allows fast and easy switching
to manual focusing for even more precise adjustment.Digital level gaugeDigital
level gauge to allow easier leveling of the camera.MF assist and peakingManual
focus becomes much easier because peaking highlights the edges that are in
focus in your choice of three colors (white, red, or yellow). This is
especially helpful during macro or portrait photography where your focus
setting can make or break your shot.Multi-frame noise reductionIn this mode,
the camera automatically shoots multiple images and layers them to produce a
single noise-free image. This method provides noise reduction equivalent to a
2-stop lower shutter speed while maintaining the same aperture setting. Since
the Multi Frame NR mode can be used in combination with P/A/S/M modes, it
expands the user’s shooting flexibility.Photo CreativityThe Photo Creativity
interface enables you to easily enjoy the creative expression of SLR-quality
digital imaging without complex jargon. Changes can be combined/ removed and
viewed in real time on the LCD making it a breeze to make adjustments. Choose
from several different Photo Creativity functions using the convenient control
wheel and center button including; Picture Effect, Background Defocus, Color,
Brightness, and Vividness.Picture Effect modeRealize your creative potential
with Picture Effect, a fun and simple way to convert ordinary landscapes and
portraits come to life by heightening mood and emphasizing certain attributes.

styles: Standard, Vivid, B&W, Sunset, Portrait and Landscape. You can even
fine-tune contrast, saturation, and sharpness to your personal taste.Sweep
Panorama™ ModeCapture expansive landscapes automatically. Press the shutter,
sweep vertically or horizontally. The camera does the rest, continuously
shooting images and stitching them together.Superior Auto modeGet cleaner,
more dynamic pictures and fewer missed shots. The camera automatically
recognizes the correct scene mode, then quickly shoots and combines up to six
shots to produce images with greater clarity, optimum dynamic range using
Backlight Correction HDR technology and lower image noise using 6 shots
layering technology. Superior Auto intelligently detects 33 scenes for still
images and movies, making it easy to get the best shot.Intelligent Scene
Recognition modeIntelligent Scene Recognition (iSCN) Mode automatically
detects 33 different types of scenes for photos and 44 scenes for movies, and
then selects the appropriate camera settings. In Auto Mode, the camera takes a
single shot using the optimal settings. In Advanced Mode, the camera takes a
photo with the optimal settings and, if in difficult lighting (low light or
back light) immediately takes a second photo with another optimized setting so
you can choose which to keep. Please see the comparison chart below to find
