The built-in image stabilization feature further enhances image quality by reducing the effects of camera shake, especially useful at higher zoom levels.

Another prominent aspect of the DX6490 is its user-friendly design. The camera boasts a bright 2-inch LCD screen that enables easy framing of shots and reviewing of images.
