Easy shooting mode for reliable shooting even by beginners (P.38)

Easy mode lets you set [Picture Quality/Size] and other essential functions. With this mode, even first-time users can comfortably use the camera. When you shoot a subject at close range, for example, the macro mode is enabled automatically.

High-resolution picture display

The 3-inch 920,000-dot VGA picture display reproduces subject details with greater clarity. This high-resolution picture display is also able to display 81 thumbnail images at the same time. This is useful for quickly searching through a large volume of images for a certain image.

Easily customize your favorite shooting settings with My Settings mode (P.81)

You can customize two groups of settings, and then turn the mode dial to MY1/MY2 to shoot with those registered settings.

AF/AE target shift function that allows you to lock AF and AE onto a location of your choice (P.64)

This is a function that enables you to shift and lock the AF/AE target when you are taking pictures just by pressing a button, without needing to move the camera.

Use the camera to easily make corrections to images you have shot (P.140, 142, 145)

After you shoot a still image, you can crop part of the image (trim), automatically adjust the brightness (level compensation) or adjust the color tones (white balance compensation). The corrected image is saved as a new file.
