Geared for quality
The compact C-70 ZOOM has much to tempt the enthusiastic hobby photographer. Registering high on the resolution scale with its 7.1 million pixels, it also scores exceptionally well in the zoom category. The bright 5x optical zoom lens (equivalent to 38-190mm on a 35mm camera, f2.8-4.8) combines with a 6x digital zoom for a potential 30x magnification power. This impressive performance is ideal for getting closer to the subject – such as on a nature hike, or picking out your favourite player on the field. And because of this camera’s great native resolution, the digitally enlarged images will still be remarkable. Picture quality is optimised through incorporation of TruePic TURBO, which boosts contrast and colours for even more lifelike results. Moreover, it significantly increases processing speed.
Enabling creative expression
Photographers enjoy immense creative freedom with this compact model. For example, manual control of the aperture and shutter speed lets users work with the light to achieve their own personal look. Many other settings, such as white balance and auto-bracketing, are additionally adjustable, while a host of precision metering systems guarantee optimum image results with the minimum of fuss.
Recording short movie sequences of sporting action or fast-moving subjects, like wildlife, is also very easy. All it takes is a turn of the dial and the scene is saved at 25 frames per second in VGA or QVGA resolution. Further artistic opportunities are possible with the Super Macro mode, which enables shots from an incredibly close 2cm away. In order to ensure extended shooting capabilities, this model comes with the powerful new 1230mAh rechargeable battery pack LI-12B.
Providing a clear view
The large 2.0 inch sunshine LCD with 206,000 pixels guarantees a clear view of the pictures, even under a bright sun. With the re-size, red-eye reduction, trimming and rotation editing functions, the images can be adjusted immediately so they are ready for displaying on the monitor or a TV.
