Camera Features

In addition to basic picture-taking, the Optio E70 has a variety of shooting modes to suit different situations. This section describes how to make the most of the key features of your camera. Together with the explanations of camera operations, it will enable you to enjoy your camera to the full.

Advanced Movie Recording and Picture Taking Functions

The Optio E70 has a shake reduction function to reduce camera shake during movie recording (p.102).

Use the camera to shoot fun-filled movies of your children or pets as a visual diary of their development (p.99).

Perfect for Portrait Shots!

The Optio E70 comes with a “Face Recognition” function that spots the faces in your shot and automatically adjusts the focus and exposure for the faces. It can recognize up to 32 people per shot (*), so it will help you take perfect group shots too. It will automatically release the shutter when people are smiling. If anyone blinked, it will tell you that so you can take the shot again until it is perfect. It also has a feature that lets you enlarge each person's face in sequence during playback so you can quickly check their facial expressions.

* Up to 15 face recognition frames are displayed on the monitor.
