Miscellaneous
Notes & Features:	New innovative technologies include: - Face Detection Technology: tracks faces within the frame and automatically focuses (Face Detection AF) and optimizes exposure (Face Detection AE) for sharp, brilliant portrait pictures. Even if your subjects are moving, the camera continuously tracks your subjects' faces without having to press the shutter button; - Shadow Adjustment Technology: allows users to preview and capture their images as they see them with their naked eye. Shadow Adjustment compensates for difficult lighting situations, increasing the detail in highlights and shadows, to produce more balanced photos; - TruePic III Image Processor: reduces graininess in images to deliver sharper, more vivid photos even at high ISO settings; - Perfect Shot Preview: enables users to preview and select various photographic effects on the LCD screen before snapping the shot; - Dual Image Stabilization: combines the benefits of Sensor-Shift Image Stabilization and Digital Image Stabilization to ensure beautiful, blur-free images in any situation.
