L Series Fluorite 20(100Digital)

Zoom Lens

From wide-angle to 20telephoto — with unparalleled optical quality. The digital zoom magnifies this by five times for even more dramatic results. Fluorite incorporated into the lens produces images with high-contrast, true-to-life color.

3 CCD System with Pixel Shift Technology

Superb picture quality results from using a larger light capturing area for each pixel (and fewer pixels) to give higher sensitivity, higher SN ratio and a greater dynamic range, and then horizontally shifting the green CCD to ensure high image resolution. In addition, you can get stunningly clear still pictures from video action.

Frame Movie Mode

During playback, pause the video any time you like to view a crystal clear still image in the display or on a connected TV screen. It is also possible to transfer your favorite still pictures to a PC for image enhancement and printout.

2.5” LCD Screen

An LCD screen makes it easy for you to shoot colorful, well composed video. It is also great for playback.
