Advanced Shake Reduction (ASR)
The ASR technology prevents the degradation of image clarity and colour which is sometimes found in flash photography. With ASR the effects of camera shake are reduced in lower light conditions. You can even take well exposed, sharper pictures in low light without using a flash at all, resulting in more natural looking pictures.

Red-eye Fix function
The Red-eye Fix algorithm programmed into the camera automatically eliminates red eye in shoot and play modes, allowing you take a natural portrait photo.
Wise Shot
This feature takes a shot using both ASR and Flash simultaneously. It then compares the results and gives you the better picture of the two. (i.e. the flash shot if it is better than the ASR shot, and vice versa)
