Auto-exposure control

The camera has a full automatic exposure control that selects the optimal exposure needed to get an excellent picture.

Lighting adjustment

The camera has built-in compensation for bright skies that automatically adjusts the brightness of landscape pictures. This avoids the dark and dull images that automatic cameras sometimes give in difficult lighting situations. It is especially effective for outdoor photography on grey and cloudy days.

Photo light

The camera has a high quality LED light to improve picture quality in dark environments.

Business card scanner

It is possible to take a photo of a business card and then use the Business Card Reader application to scan the card. The scanned text can then be saved as a contact.

The business card scanner is able to handle Latin and Chinese (traditional and simplified) fonts, and can handle business cards in the English, Chinese, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Swedish languages.
