•Auto Pan Focus (page 68)

When you press the shutter button all the way down

without pausing, the camera immediately records the

image without waiting for Auto Focus to be performed.

This helps to avoid missing a special moment while you

wait for the camera to Auto Focus.

•Support for SD memory cards and MMC (MultiMedia

•Bundled with a USB Cradle (pages 31, 118, 155, 159)

when recording the image of a business card, document,

whiteboard, or similar subjects from an angle.

•Coupling Shot and Pre-shot (pages 84, 86)

Coupling Shot lets you combine two subjects into a single

image, while Pre-shot lets you add a subject to a

previously recorded background image. This means you

can create images that include you and your friend, even

if you are the only two people around.

•Triple Self-timer (page 62)

automatically.

•Real-time histogram (page 96)

zones.

A built-in alarm helps to keep you on time for important

events, and even can be used in place of an alarm clock.

You can also have a specific image appear, or a movie or

audio file to play when the alarm time is reached.
