Notes & Features: Differences from the Stylus 1020 are that the 1010 has a regular HyperCrystal-branded LCD, and comes in black, silver, blue and purple variants. The Stylus 1020 has a HyperCrystal II-branded LCD display, a glossy finish, and comes in black, silver, blue and pink variants. Optical Image Stabilization (OIS); Motion Detection technology consolidates motion information for both the camera and the photographic subject and determines whether the subject has moved and what if any adjustments to focus or exposure needs to be made; Hi-ISO Auto function that works together with Motion Detection Technology to reduces the effect of blur in low light shooting situations by automatically changing and balancing the ISO sensitivity along with the shutter speed.
