Dual Image Stabilisation
Blurry images can be caused by many factors, such as hand shaking, zooming or insufficient light. Dual Image Stabilisation eliminates the blur caused by camera shake and delivers clear, crisp images every time, even under difficult lighting situations. Integrating the best lens shifting mechanisms of Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) with the sophisticated algorithms of Digital Image Stabilisation (DIS), Dual Image Stabilisation corrects even the tiniest of shakes.

Introducing the innovative Frame Guide feature that allows you to set up the angle of the shot and compose the photo exactly the way you want it. Now you're ready to hand off the camera to someone else so you can be in the photo. All they need to do is match the preset composition you created that's it.
