Retouch Menu: Get creative with 32 filter effects, using Quick Effects mode in playback. Try Selective Color, adding a splash of color to monochrome or Cross Screen to add a starry effect to bright objects.

18 scene modes: Take the mystery out of camera settings with scene modes, which automatically optimize settings for popular photographic styles and effects. You’ll get great shots just by selecting the mode that best suits your shooting conditions.

Target Finding AF: Fast and precise autofocus locks on to your subject and focuses for you, so you’ll always take clear, sharp shots – leaving you free to concentrate on framing the perfect photo.
