courtesy of its high-quality all-metal body.

capability and up to 14x smart zoom. Complementing Auto and Program modes,
a choice of seven Scene Selection modes adjusts camera settings for optimum
results under a wide range of shooting conditions. In High Sensit ivity mode,

capturing clearer, blur-free images indoors or in difficult low light conditions
without flash.
