Bring on the Zoom
Capture the action up close with the powerful 63× zoom, 20.1MP camera that takes you there. Even shoot on the move thanks to Optical SteadyShot™ that helps minimize blur. Use Easy Mode to simplify the camera's menu functions, plus add fun or dramatic looks with the built-in Picture Effects. It's ready when you are.

Crazy Clear Close-ups
Capture even far off subjects in glorious detail via the 63x optical zoom on a professional Carl ZEISS lens. This incredibly powerful optical zoom brings the action to you so you can make the most out of every moment.

Say Goodbye to Blur
Don't let a not-so-steady hand prevent you from capturing the moment. Optical SteadyShot image stabilization with Intelligent Active mode compensates for camera shake by countering camera movements in both horizontal and vertical directions. Get sharp, blur-free footage and photos in otherwise unsteady situations, like shooting video while walking or zoomed in1.

More Pixels Please
Capture high-resolution images with superb contrast and clarity down to the finest detail thanks to the 20.1MP Super HAD™ CCD image sensor. More pixels means you can enlarge, zoom in and crop your pictures without jeopardizing quality.

Take it Easy
Put your camera in Easy Mode to make taking quick shots a snap. This handy feature minimizes the layers of options in your menu, taking a lot of the guesswork out of getting the perfect picture.

Effortless Effects
Let your imagination run free with a variety of fascinating in-camera effects for your still images (4 modes), videos (4 modes) and even sweep panoramas (3 modes). Picture Effect makes it quick and easy to find the perfect accent to make your subjects come alive in charming, funny or interesting ways.

Panoramic Photos up to 360°
Use Sweep Panorama mode to get breathtaking panoramic shots of up to 360 degrees. Capture sprawling landscapes and captivating cityscapes by pressing the shutter and sweeping the camera in the desired direction. The camera handles the rest, shooting multiple images at high speeds then seamlessly stitching them together to create one continuous image.
