NEW Dynamic Photo e-Greeting Function
This innovative function has been updated with the ability to add a number of d
ifferent animated graphics to still pictures in the camera; !
these cr
eations can be easily viewed on the monitor or printed. The picture with its added animation can also be converted to movies that can be emailed or posted on social networks as e-greetings. The Dynamic Photo function still retains its original ability where a picture having a moving subject can be automatically cut-out as if from a Hollywood green screen, and added to another still background image in the camera.
Make-Up Mode
In addition to recognizing faces and adjusting focus and exposure accordingly, the camera can make adjustments to smooth skin in images and soften facial shadows caused by sunlight, creating beautiful photographs of people?s faces. The photographer can choose from one of twelve levels of skin beauty using different strengths of image processing, and can shoot after viewing the results in the LCD monitor.
Handheld Night Scene Function / Lighting Function
The camera can automatically detect difficult situations, such as night scenes
where there would normally be camera shake, and backlit scenes where faces or backgrounds can be poorly exposed, and then make the most appropriate settings. All the user has to do is to press the shutter button to take great pictures.
You Tube Capture Mode
Movies can be recorded and saved using the ideal size and quality settings for the world’s most popular video sharing site, You Tube. Recorded movies can be easily uploaded to You Tube using the included computer software.
