Description
among other features, A580 can shoot high resolution movies and panoramas, and panoramas can be shot in 3D-mode, and then view them on the screen of 3D-TVs. Creating panoramas is easy. Just make a circular movement with the camera – and the camera automatically creates a panorama. Wide sensitivity range and effective noise reduction complemented by dynamic range optimizer. Also features Face Detection and Smile Detection: The shutter is released the moment you smile at the person in the frame. The tiltable and movable monitor is very useful for sharp perspectives and a variety of macro shots.
