Versatile shooting. 12x optical zoom with Intelligent IS
A long 12x zoom combines with a 28mm wide angle lens so you can get close to distant subjects as well as capture panoramic landscapes and fit everyone in group shots. Intelligent IS automatically adjusts the optical Image Stabilizer to the scene from 7 modes to prevent blur and deliver sharp and detailed photos and videos.
14.1 MP CCD
A 14.1 Megapixel sensor delivers detailed high-resolution images that can be printed in very large sizes (A3+) or cropped to achieve the desired composition.
Smart and Easy
Effortlessly shoot high quality photos or movies with Smart Auto, which detects the scene and selects the perfect settings from 32 variables (21 in movie). Easy mode prevents the accidental use of incorrect buttons so all the family can point and shoot with confidence in any situation.
7.5 cm (3.0") LCD
A large, high quality LCD screen with wide viewing angle allows for easy framing, effortless menu navigation and pleasurable reviewing and playback of the results.
HD movies with stereo sound

Creative Filters. Miniature Effect
