EXPEED C2 image processing and a superior autofocus system ensure fast response times. So if you want to share a moment with friends, you can be sure theyâll see it exactly as it remains in your memory.

Advanced anti-blur technology minimizes the effects of subject movement, low light and camera shake on the results.

An 8.7 cm 3.5 inches touch-screen OSID display with super-resolution of 819K, offering the same level of sensitivity as high-end smartphones equipped with an anti-reflective coating.
