jDigital Zoom

Unlike optical zoom, data from the camera’s image sensor are processed digitally with digital zoom. Details visible at maximum optical zoom are simply enlarged, producing a slightly “grainy” image.

lAnti-shake Mode

When anti-shake mode (c 38) is used, [Vibration reduction] (c 100) and [BSS] (best shot selector) (c 82) are enabled to reduce effects of camera shake and blurred subjects, producing clear images. With BSS enabled, the camera takes shots to a maximum of ten, they are compared, and the sharpest picture (picture with the highest level of detail) is saved. A higher sensitivity is set, and the shutter speed will be faster than in L (auto) mode.
