Digital Zoom
Unlike optical zoom, data from the camera's image sensor are processed digitally with digital
zoom. Details visible at maximum optical zoom are simply enlarged, producing a slightly
"grainy" image.

Anti-shake Mode
When anti-shake mode (c 38) is used, [Vibration reduction] (c 100) and [BSS] (best shot
selector) (c 82) are enabled to reduce effects of camera shake and blurred subjects, produc-
ing clear images. With BSS enabled, the camera takes shots to a maximum of ten, they are
compared, and the sharpest picture (picture with the highest level of detail) is saved. A higher
sensitivity is set, and the shutter speed will be faster than in L (auto) mode.
