What iPhone news might January 27 bring?

Monday 25 January 2010 0 comments
Though the long-awaited Apple tablet is expected to take center stage at Wednesday's Apple event, we can't discount the possibility that the company will drop some iPhone news as well. After all, January has brought us updates to Apple's handset ever since the very first iPhone was unveiled at MacWorld 2007. And now that Apple is no longer attending the MacWorld party--that event has been moved to February--the January 27 jamboree would serve as a natural forum for any iPhone news.

So what can we expect? Now that we have multimedia messaging, the list of missing "must-have features" is narrowing. But even so, we still have an iPhone wish list and many people still hope that the iPhone will jump to another U.S. carrier.
For your convenience we've wrapped up the most rampant speculation here. As of now, all of these rumors remain just rumors, but that doesn't mean it's not fun to spread them around. After you're done reading the dish, be sure to click on the poll to tell us what you expect to happen.
New OS
If any iPhone news breaks on Wednesday we expect that this will be it. Apple hasn't unveiled a major iPhone update since last march (that was iPhone 3.0) so we're certainly due for an upgrade. The most probable scenario is that the iPhone could see its user interface revamped to go along with the mythical tablet. And on a related note, AT&T could finally enable tethering so the iPhone could connect to the tablet.
Outside of the tablet, other OS changes are very possible. The Boy Genius Report is predicting we'll get multitasking, expanded multitouch functionality, syncing changes for calendars and contacts, and more graphical UI enhancements. We also could see more home screens and better app organization on the device.
A new handset
We consider this prediction somewhat less plausible. Over the past two years, Apple waited until June and its annual Worldwide Developer's Conference to introduce new hardware and we expect that the company will do the same in 2010. But then again, Apple loves pulling "one more thing" surprises out of its hat, so anything can happen. Among the rumored features for a fourth-generation device are a 5-megapixel camera, a camera flash, and an OLED display. We've heard of a removable battery as well, but we're pretty doubtful that will ever happen.
A 4G iPhone
Somewhat related to but not to be confused with the above is an iPhone that can support fourth-generation networks like LTE. This seems unlikely, at least for now. Carrier 4G networks are still in their infancy in the United States and it's not like Apple to throw its weight behind a technology that has limited coverage and that hasn't been really proven...which brings us to our next rumor.
Verizon iPhone
The Verizon rumor has been around as long as the iPhone itself and, as we inch closer to Wednesday, analysts are falling over themselves to predict a device for America's largest carrier. We're still skeptical, partially because we still don't know when AT&T's exclusivity will end.
On the other hand, we can't imagine that Apple would forgo the chance the sell more iPhones, even if it is to the carrier that shunned it before. When that happens, we still think it will be a hybrid CDMA/GSM version or a device that supports the aforementioned LTE networks.
Of course, it's only a few days until we'll know all. But in the meantime, tell us what you think Wednesday will bring.

Sony Ericsson to launch its first Android phone

Saturday 23 January 2010 0 comments
 Sony Ericsson Xperia X10
Sony Ericsson is finally stepping into the Android smartphone market.
The company announced Thursday that it will launch its first Android smartphone in April in Japan. Sold through the large Japanese carrier NTT DoCoMo, the Xperia X10--or SO-O1B as it will be known in Japan--will sport a 4-inch WVGA touchscreen and 8.1-megapixel camera. It will include both entertainment and social networking features.
The X10 is set for release in other regions, including the U.S., later this year.
Despite any hopes that the X10 might take advantage of the latest 2.0 version of Android, the phone will run Android 1.6.

Powered by a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, the X10 throws in the usual goodies, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS, but adds a stereo headset, 1GB of internal memory, and a 16GB MicroSD card for extra storage. Its camera offers a 16X digital zoom, auto focus, and image stabilization. Its face recognition can match the faces in a photo with contacts in your phonebook.
But it's on the media and social networking front that Sony Ericsson hopes to make a splash. The phone will include Mediascape, an application designed to organize music, photos, and videos in one place. Mediascape also wirelessly plays media content from other sources, such as YouTube and PlayNow.
The X10's Timescape app is designed to manage social contacts and conversations from one spot, letting you keep tabs on your e-mail, text messages, and your Facebook and Twitter accounts.
Sony Ericsson could use a hot, new smartphone to light a fire under its performance. Hit by tough competition and weak consumer demand, the company has struggled the past couple of years and been forced to cut jobs and trim expenses.
Sales and earnings just announced for 2009 are evidence that Sony Ericsson went through a rough year, but some fourth-quarter results showed slight improvement, thanks to cost cuts and new products.
For 2009, sales plummeted to 6.8 billion euros ($9.5 billion) from 11.2 billion euros in 2008. The company's net loss for the year reached 836 million euros from 73 million euros the previous year.
Sales for the fourth quarter also dropped, dipping to 1.7 billion euros from 2.9 billion euros in the prior-year quarter. But quarterly losses edged down slightly to 167 million euros from 187 million euros in 2008's final quarter.
"The refreshed portfolio, coupled with the business transformation program has started to positively impact our financial results," Sony Ericsson President Bert Nordberg said in a statement. "Continued cost saving activities and resource realignment are necessary in order to build a leaner, more efficient organization capable of meeting the demands of the changing competitive landscape."
Looking ahead, Sony expects that its cost cuts won't yield a sustained improvement until the second half of 2010. The company is also counting on a slew of new products, such as the Xperia X10, to help it return to profitability.

10 Reasons Why the Nexus One Could Beat the iPhone

Wednesday 20 January 2010 2 comments
QV2QYY354MZXNexus One
News Analysis: Google's Nexus One could be the first device to match the iPhone's allure and beat out Apple's hallmark product. It has features that the iPhone doesn't; it won't be tied to a single carrier and it comes from a major, well-respected company. Combine these factors with the notoriously fickle tastes of mobile phone buyers, and it's apparent that the Nexus One may give the Apple iPhone a run for its money.
The iPhone enjoys unprecedented success in the mobile phone market. It is the leader that all other devices hope to match. But so far, none have. Apple's mobile device was not only a revolutionary product when it was first released back in 2007, it came from a company that consumers trusted. And it offered new, fresh ideas that, for once, appealed to consumer desire, rather than disappoint.

Since that launch, things have been going just as well for the iPhone. Sales are higher than ever. More people are enjoying Apple's device than some pundits thought possible. It even has more than 100,000 applications available to users. Simply put, the iPhone is an unbridled success.
But that doesn't mean that it can't be beaten. Mobile phone users are notoriously fickle. They want the best product on the market. Perhaps that's why there is so much excitement over the possible release of Google's Nexus One mobile phone. It has features that the iPhone doesn't. It comes from a major, well-respected company. And by the looks of things, it has some real potential.
With the right strategy, the Nexus One could beat the iPhone. Here's why.
1. It's from Google
One of the main reasons why the iPhone was so successful was that Apple was behind it. People know Apple; they trust Apple. The same can be said for Google. Sure, an HTC device might be great, but when consumers haven't heard of it, they're suspect. It's human nature. Google is a household name. Once they find out that the company has released a mobile phone, they will undoubtedly try to find out if it's worth buying.
2. It's unlocked
Instead of being locked down to a single carrier such as the iPhone, the Nexus One can be brought to any carrier. That alone is enough to make some consumers (and business customers) think twice about the iPhone. It might even lure some iPhone owners away from AT&T and Apple's device.
3. The Android Market
Apple's App Store has more than 100,000 applications, easily leading the mobile market in available programs. But it's Google's Android Market that comes in second behind Apple's store. The Android Market has a slew of useful applications designed specifically for Android OS. Plus, some of the applications that weren't allowed into the App Store are available in Google's offering. Quantity isn't everything.
4. Touchscreens, anyone?
Most consumers want a touchscreen. For now, Apple's iPhone has the best touchscreen on the market. But Motorola's Droid, an Android-based device, has a nice screen of its own. The Nexus One will reportedly feature a touchscreen. The market requires touchscreens and that is what Google plans to offer. It doesn't plan to give Apple any advantage.
5. The iPhone isn't perfect
The iPhone might reign supreme in the market, but it's not perfect by any means. The device still has a suspect virtual keyboard. It lacks availability on other carriers' networks. And it generally fails to appeal to the enterprise. Those are major problems that we can't forget about when evaluating the Nexus One's chances of beating the iPhone. There are chinks in Apple's armor. Google just needs to exploit them.
6. Droid is helping
If nothing else, Droid has helped put Google's Android platform on the map. Prior to its release, Android was well known in tech circles, but it wasn't so popular in the mainstream. With the Droid's help, the mobile operating system is now relatively well known to many consumers. That should help Google sell more Nexus One devices, since potential customers will generally know what to expect from the device's OS.
7. Google fully understands the consumer
From a corporate perspective, Google understands what the consumer really wants. The company has made billions of dollars evaluating its users, measuring the competition's effectiveness, and delivering a product that combines simplicity and usability in one package. It has become a staple of Google's offerings. Why should the Nexus One be any different?
8. It could change everything
Part of the appeal of the Nexus One is its potential to change the mobile industry forever. For the first time, a well-known, mainstream device will be offered sans carrier. If users flock to the device, it might just cause Apple and other competitors to follow suit and make devices available on multiple networks. The Nexus One could set the new norm in the industry.
9. The right design means everything
Judging by the pictures, Google seems to know what a "new-age" mobile phone should look like. The Nexus One features a sleek exterior, a big, vibrant display, and a footprint that should appeal to those who like to keep their phones in a pocket. At first glance, the Nexus One reminds me of the iPhone with its attention to detail. Once consumers pick it up, I think they'll have the same feeling.
10. Apple still hasn't targeted the enterprise
Although more enterprise-friendly applications have made their way to Apple's App Store of late, the hardware company still has a long way to go before it can say that the iPhone is adequately appealing to enterprise needs. That could be an opening for Google. If it engages in the right strategy (an unlocked phone is a great first step, by the way), it could move into the business world, capturing market share away from Apple and RIM. If it's successful in that space, it might only be a matter of time before it enjoys similar success in the consumer market.
The Nexus One has outstanding potential. Now, Google needs to ensure that it makes the right moves to make it a success.

Top 10 Reasons to Buy the iPhone 3G S

Tuesday 19 January 2010 0 comments
iPhone 3G S
The iPhone 3G S is the fastest iPhone, yet. I hate stuffing multiple gadgets into my jeans. But it is uncool for a tech guy living in Silicon Valley to carry around a manbag. I’ve tried and it feels a bit awkward. So far my iPhone has been the best all-in-one pocketable device but with a few areas that needed improvement. The weakest feature of the iPhone 3G is the camera–it sucks. The new iPhone 3G S has a much improved camera and a whole lot more. If you want just one device in your pocket (or purse) that does it all and does it well the iPhone 3G S, in my opinion, is simply the best pocketable do-everything gadget available. Yes, better than the Palm Pre. Here are ten reasons why you should seriously consider getting the iPhone 3GS, in no particular order:

1. 3.5” Widescreen Display
The screen is huge and crystal clear thanks to a 3.5”, 320x480 px display at 160 ppi. That’s a whole lot of pixels and consequently, a whole lot of clarity. The colours are vibrant and sharp and everything looks just lovely. The problem with a lot of portable devices in the past has been the screen size. By making the screen the whole unit and with no keypad in site, Apple have been able to maximise screen size and create a truly multimedia handheld device.
2. Touch Screen
This is the really clever bit. Touch screen has been used in electronic devices and interfaces for years now, but the iPhone takes touch-screen implementation to a whole new level. The whole screen changes depending on your needs, so at one point it might be a kaypad, whilst at others it will be your music library or a short video clip for your viewing pleasure. You can scroll down through lists with a flick of your finger and the whole things just works brilliantly.
3. Mac OSX
Not the full operating system, that would be stupid. The version of OSX that Apple use on the iPhone is fully customised and streamlined for mobile use. Upgrading the OS should be as simple as it is on an iPod or a Mac but it has not yet been made clear how different the iPhone OS will be from its all-singing all-dancing bigger brother. The iPhone's version of OS X includes the software component "Core Animation" which is responsible for the smooth animations used in its user interface, so that’s how it looks so slick.
4. The Look
Which brings us rather nicely onto how the thing actually looks. The screen is excellent, the design is slick and the whole phone is really well put together. It measures in at 115×61×11.6 mm (4.5×2.4×0.46”) and weighs 135 grams (4.8 ounces). When you consider how much is squeezed into the iPhone, that’s small. The aesthetics of the whole thing are lovely, lots of nice lines and the sort of finish that Apple are famous for. Hopefully it’ll stand up to daily wear and tear well too.
5. It's Clever
The iPhone is a clever piece of kit. It has a built-in accelerometer that tells it whether you are holding it vertically or horizontally and adjusts the screen accordingly. It is these little things that make a big difference. How about scrolling through a huge contacts list or iTunes library? You can simply flick your finger up or down the screen and the list will whizz done quickly and then ease to a stop. It looks great and more than that it serves a purpose too. This is just the tip of the iceberg, the iPhone is stuffed full of cool features.
6. Wireless Capabilities
As standard, the iPhone has Wi-Fi which will be able to take the device online so long as it is in range of a wireless network point. The iPhone also has Bluetooth built in and works with wireless earpieces that use Bluetooth 2.0 technology and for file transfer. The tech bit? Well, the iPhone is a quad band GSM phone along with a 802.11g/b Wi-Fi, supports EDGE data transfer (for high speed internet and data transfer), and Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR.
7. It's Stylish
Okay, so it might be a bit of a lame reason, but trust us, the iPhone is going to be very cool...if it isn’t already. Everything Apple touch at the moment seemingly turns to gold (or shiny white). The iPhone has a great look, some great features and is sure to be the next ‘must have’ gadget. So if you can afford the price point, you’ll be the envy of all your friends. Just don’t sit there playing with it all evening in the pub or at work, you’ll look like a twit.
8. Full Web Browsing
It uses Apple’s Safari Browser and displays web pages in their full form. So no pokey little optimised site, but a full on, glorious World Wide Web. You can view them either vertically or horizontally and zooming is done in style by simply ‘pinching’ (double-tapping) a section of the screen to zoom in on. The email client on the phone displays mail in full HTML glory so you can embed images into your emails and also receive pretty looking messages as supposed to plaintext emails. The best bit though is the use of Google Maps on the iPhone. Steve Jobs demonstrated how this optimised version of the web tool can be used on the iPhone by finding a nearby coffee shop and placing a call to it by simply tapping the screen. Clever stuff.
9. Supports iTunes
The iPhone will come in two versions at launch: 4GB and 8GB. Whilst this isn’t a huge amount of memory, it is still enough to store a fair bit of music for your day to day use. You can browse through all your music in style with a lovely little interface. Video can be viewed in widescreen, so you can watch TV shows and films using the whole of the screen. The combination of a phone that has full iTunes compatibility is a major selling point for the iPhone.
10. Widgets
If you know anyone who uses a Mac, or you yourself use one, you have no doubt heard about or love Widgets. These ingenious little things allow you to do important and unimportant things with consummate ease. You can check the weather, check stocks, check flight times and much more. Just how Widgets will be implemented into the iPhone is still unknown, but we’ve got high hopes for them!

Nexus One Crushes the iPhone 3GS in Reader Vote

Friday 15 January 2010 0 comments
iPhone & Google Nexus one
I’m starting to think that Apple and the iPhone should be a bit concerned, because its Google-built Android rival is quickly gaining goodwill and market share.
Every week, we host a poll series on Mashable called the Web Faceoff, where we give you the reader a choice between two or three major tech or web-related products to choose from. In this week’s edition, we asked you to choose between the Nexus One and the iPhone 3GS, two of the best smartphones on the market.
iPhone & Google Nexus one

After more than 10,000 votes, the Nexus One has thoroughly annihilated the iPhone 3GS. The Nexus One captured a full 66% of the poll (6743 votes), while the iPhone 3GS was only able to muster 28% support (2818 votes). 592 of you declared it a tie.
This result almost exactly mirrors our Android vs. iPhone OS poll, where Android garnered 66% of the vote to the iPhone OS’s 30%. Still, we’re shocked that a device that’s only been out for a few weeks could crush Apple’s device so thoroughly.
Our conclusion: Android and the Nexus One are charging at full steam. If Apple isn’t careful, it could eventually find its cell phone in second place.

iPhone and education

Monday 11 January 2010 0 comments
iphone
How do you educate a generation of students eternally distracted by the internet, cellphones and video games? Easy. You enable them by handing out free iPhones — and then integrating the gadget into your curriculum.
That’s the idea Abilene Christian University has to refresh classroom learning. Located in Texas, the private university just finished its first year of a pilot program, in which 1,000 freshman students had the choice between a free iPhone or an iPod Touch.


The initiative’s goal was to explore how the always-connected iPhone might revolutionize the classroom experience with a dash of digital interactivity. Think web apps to turn in homework, look up campus maps, watch lecture podcasts and check class schedules and grades. For classroom participation, there’s even polling software for Abilene students to digitally raise their hand.
The verdict? It’s working quite well. 2,100 Abilene students, or 48 percent of the population, are now equipped with a free iPhone. Fully 97 percent of the faculty population has iPhones, too. The iPhone is aiding Abilene in giving students the information they need — when they want it, wherever they want it, said Bill Rankin, a professor of medieval studies who helped plan the initiative.
“It’s kind of the TiVoing of education,” Rankin said in a phone interview. “I watch it when I need it and in ways that I need it. And that makes a huge difference.”
The traditional classroom, where an instructor assigns a textbook, is heading toward obsolescence. Why listen to a single source talk about a printed textbook that will inevitably be outdated in a few years? That setting seems stale and hopelessly limited when pitted against the internet, which opens a portal to a live stream of information provided by billions of minds.
“About five years ago my students stopped taking notes,” Rankin said. “I asked, ‘Why are you not taking notes?’ And they said, ‘Why would we take notes on that?…. I can go to Wikipedia or go to Google, and I can get all the information I need.”
Conversely, the problem with the internet is there’s too much information, and it’s difficult to determine which data is valuable.
These are the specific educational problems Abilene is targeting with the iPhone. Instead of standing in front of a classroom and talking for an hour, Rankin instructs his students to use their iPhones to look up relevant information on the fly. Then, the students can discuss the information they’ve found, and Rankin leads the dialogue by helping assess which sources are accurate and useful.
It’s like a mashup of a 1960s teach-in with smartphone technology from the 2000s.
Each participating Abilene instructor is incorporating the iPhone differently into their curriculum. In some classrooms, professors project discussion questions onscreen in a PowerPoint presentation. Then, using polling software that Abilene coded for the iPhone, students can answer the questions anonymously by sending responses electronically with their iPhones. The software can also quickly quiz students to gauge whether they’re understanding the lesson.
Most importantly, by allowing the students to participate in polls anonymously with the iPhone, it relieves them of any social pressure to appear intelligent in front of their peers. If they answer wrong, nobody will know who it was, ridding students of humiliation. And if students don’t understand a lesson, they can ask the teacher to repeat it by simply tapping a button on the iPhone.
“Polling opens up new realms for people for discussion,” said Tyler Sutphen, an ACU sophomore who has participated in the iPhone initiative for a year. “It’s a lot more interactive for those who aren’t as willing to jump up and throw out their answer in class. Instead, you push a button on the iPhone.”
Kasey Stratton, a first-year ACU business student, said her favorite aspect of the iPhone program was how apps are changing the way students interact socially. Many Abilene students use Bump, a free app downloadable through the App Store [iTunes], which enables them to swap e-mails and phone numbers by bumping their iPhones together. Also, the campus’ map app helped her become familiar with the campus quickly when she arrived.
“At ACU it’s like they see [the iPhone] is the way of the future and they might as well take advantage of it,” Stratton said in a phone interview. “They’re preparing us for the real world — not a place where you’re not allowed to use anything.”
Implementing the iPhone program wasn’t easy. In addition to writing custom web apps for the iPhone, the university optimized its campuswide Wi-Fi to support the 2,100 iPhones. Rankin declined to disclose exact figures for money invested in the iPhone program, but he said the initiative only takes up about 1 percent of the university’s annual budget. To offset costs, the university discontinued in-dorm computer labs, since the vast majority of students already own notebooks. Students who opted for iPhones are responsible for paying their own monthly plans with AT&T.
After a successful run, the university plans to continue the iPhone program, with plans to upgrade to new iPhones every two years. Rankin said some UK universities plan to launch similar initiatives as well. In the United States, Stanford doesn’t hand out free iPhones to its students (yet), but it offers an iPhone app called iStanford for students to look up class schedules, the Stanford directory, the campus map and sports news. Stanford also offers a computer science course on iPhone app programming, whose lectures are streamed for free via iTunes.
“For us, it isn’t primarily about the device,” Rankin said. “This is a question of, how do we live and learn in the 21st century now that we have these sorts of connections?…. I think this is the next platform for education.”

Google Nexus One

Saturday 9 January 2010 2 comments
Google Nexus One
The Nexus One is a smartphone from Google that uses the Android open source mobile operating system.The device is manufactured by Taiwan's HTC Corporation, and became available on January 5, 2010.Features of the phone include the ability to transcribe voice to text,noise canceling dual microphones,and voice directions while driving.
The phone comes unlocked and is not restricted to any particular mobile network provider. Google currently offers it for use on the T-Mobile network in the United States; a version for use on the Verizon (US) and Vodafone (European) networks is expected in the second calendar quarter of 2010.

Availability
The Nexus One was released on January 5, 2010. The phone is sold via Google's website, at a price of $529 unlocked, or a subsidized $179 when purchased with a T-Mobile two year contract.Only one plan is available for subsidized phones - $79.99 per month rate, which includes 500 minutes with unlimited nights and weekends, unlimited texting/MMS, and web data. (Though the same plan is available directly from T-Mobile for $59.99 per month and no contract is required.) Unsubsidized phones have no such limitation.The $179 T-Mobile price is only for individuals who are not currently under contract with T-Mobile. If one currently has a T-Mobile contract without a data package, the price of the phone rises to $279.99. If the contract has both the voice and data package, the price of the phone again jumps to a higher price bracket, which is $379.99.
In addition, Tax may be charged depending on the State the address to ship to is in. Each order is shipped with free FedEx Overnight shipping, with indirect signature required.Hardware
Hardware
The Nexus One features a 3.7 in (9.4 cm) active-matrix OLED display (480 x 800 px, WVGA) with a 100,000:1 contrast ratio and a response time of 1 ms. Despite being capable of multi-touch, this is not enabled by default in the US version. It has an illuminated trackball which can emit different colors of light based on the type of notification being received. The phone has two microphones, one on the front and one on the back, to enable noise cancellation to reduce background noise during phone conversations. A standard 3.5mm headphone jack is also provided.
The phone features a 1 GHz Qualcomm 8250 processor, 512MB of RAM, a 4GB microSD card, 512MB of internal flash storage, a 5.0 megapixel auto-focus camera with LED flash and digital zoom, GPS receiver, light and proximity sensors, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, and 802.11b/g/n Wifi capabilities. It provides hardware decoding for H.263, H.264 and MPEG-4 video, and is capable of playing MP3, AAC+, Ogg Vorbis, WAV, and MIDI audio, and displaying the JPEG, GIF, PNG, and BMP image formats. It has a standard micro USB port rather than the proprietary HTC connector, and the microSD card slot allows expansion up to 32 gigabytes of card storage. Applications can only be installed to the 512 MB internal flash memory, of which 190 MB are available for that purpose. During unveiling, it was mentioned that Google may eventually lift this restriction after addressing security issues.
The phone weighs 130 grams (4.6 oz), with a height of 119 millimetres (4.7 in), a width of 59.8 millimetres (2.35 in), and a depth of 11.5 millimetres (0.45 in). It is powered by a removable 1400mAh battery, expected to last up to 290 hours on standby, 10 hours talk time, or 5 hours while browsing the internet.

A 10.0-megapixel of high resolution can capture the world around in vivid color and lavish details.
12x optical zoom lens covers an extraordinary focal range of 33-396mm*, extending your shooting reach enough to zoom in to those smiles.
A function to follow moving subjects in standard wide view for easy framing at high zoom settings. With a single press of a button, the subject tracked within the selected frame on the LCD, will be captured and saved at a high zoom ratio (1.4x or 2x digital zoom).
Super Macro mode sets an accurate focus moving in as close as approx. 2cm (0.8 inch) . Impressive full-frame close-ups can be taken.
Supplied with impressive powerful zooming functions, the FinePix S1500 achieved its comfort through lightweight and a small dimension for you to take it anywhere with ease.
Tracking Auto Focus function tracks the subject automatically for as long as the shutter is half pressed and the subject is kept inside the frame.
The new Panorama Shooting Mode* makes it easy to create impressive panoramic photos. This mode captures and combines max 3 consecutive shots, that are saved to the memory card as a single panoramic picture.
Framed scenes are automatically detected and selected into 6 appropriate camera settings: Portrait, Landscape, Night, Macro, Night Portrait, Backlit Portrait.
Face Detection instantly identifies the faces in the frame, and automatically optimizes focus and exposure up to 6 faces at a time.
Red-Eye Removal automatically detects faces and corrects flash reflected red-eye for a perfect end result.
Zooms in on a detected face, then crops and saves a “portrait” shot in the camera.
The combination of high sensitivity and CCD shift image stabilization works to eliminate blurred photos by freezing action and minimizing blurs at maximum zoom range.
Maximum sensitivity of ISO6400* lets you take natural, lifelike photos, even with limited available light. And high sensitivity also lets you stop the action, even when the subject is moving at high speeds.
A high-speed continuous shooting function that captures up to 13.5 frames per second in a burst, effective for any photographer to capture fast moving subjects.
3.3 frames/sec. up to 6 frames/5M pixels or lower
7.5 frames/sec. up to 15 frames/2M pixels or lower
Moving subject captured in continuous shooting mode can be played back at a high speed of 10 frames per second in a streaming sequence as you search for your favorite shot in full screen smooth and fast.
Large 2.7-inch LCD screen allows you to find favorite image at a glance displayed in 10 x 10 array.
