This high resolution combined with original Hybrid Adaptive A*IPS technology means faithful reproduction of every detail of every scene. Color reproduction and gradation are true to life, too, thanks to the implementation of a special primary color filter.
The GT HEXANON 3x optical zoom lens features special treatment to suppress flare and edge distortion so that it delivers extraordinarily high image resolution. Although it has 7 elements in 6 groups, including aspherical elements, this lens contributes to the camera's slim profile by being the smallest-diameter lens in the world with this level of performance. And with its high-speed, low-noise zoom drive you can frame and shoot so fast you won't miss a great shot.

Extraordinarily natural, faithful images are achieved through an original algorithm that calculates the ideal exposure, focus, and white balance values in an instant based on the corresponding exposure, focus, and color data received from the camera's CCD.

- A*IPS (pronounced " A-star IPS ") is the name of our original Image Processing System that handles all three critical image elements: AF, AE, and AWB (" A* ").
A top-quality GT HEXANON 3x zoom lens gives you a 5.6 ~ 16.8 mm optical zoom range (equivalent to 34 ~ 102 mm on a 35-mm film camera) for a wide range of zoom framing options from wide angle to telephoto. Combine this with 2x digital zoom and you have up to an outstanding 6x zoom range. Exceptionally fast zoom operation - wide to telephoto in 0.8 seconds - means you can frame and shoot in an instant.

- "2x digital zoom" is an image capture function that doubles the maximum optical zoom magnification through digital data processing.
