Minimum blur.The SH-50 has plenty to boast about, but it has one special feature that’s going to change point-and-shoot cameras forever: itsgroundbreaking, super-sharp image stabilisation (IS) technology. The SH-50 is the first-ever compact digital camera to counteractblur with the sophisticated 5-axis system normally used in DSLRs. Hybrid 5-axis Movie IS is so effective that you can actually make amovie as you run, entirely blur-free. For still shots, 3-axis Photo IS is just as powerful and, in this type of camera, just as rare. The world-beating IS isn’t just about razor-sharp shots. In combination with iHS technologies, it makes the SH-50 a fantastic camera for shootingin poor light. iHS includes the TruePic VI processor and backlit CMOS sensor that deliver the high sensitivity and high speed you needto enhance detail and reduce noise in low-light conditions. On top the SH-50 has a great feature for close-up imaging. Telephoto Macromode lets you zoom in on tiny details from up to 40cm away to create fascinating stills and Full HD movies. If you record your movies in120fps high-speed movie mode, you can play them back in HD in super slow-motion and catch movements you’d miss with the nakedeye. In 1080 Full HD resolution, the SH-50 gives you a choice of the 60i or 30p format. Whichever you choose, the result will be sharpas a tack.SpecificationsImage SensorEffective pixels 16 MegapixelsFilter array Primary colour filter (RGB)Full resolution 16.8 MegapixelsType 1/2.3'' CMOSLensOptical zoom 24x (WIDE)Focal length 4.5 - 108.0mmFocal length (equiv. 35mm) 25 - 600mmMaximum aperture 3.0 - 6.9Structure 11 lenses / 10 groupsAspherical glass elements 3ED glass elements 3Digital ZoomEnlargement factor 4x / 96x combined withoptical zoomSuper Resolution Zoom 2x / 48x combined withoptical zoomMonitorResolution 460000 dotsMonitor size 7.6cm / 3.0'' (3:2)Monitor type LCD - Touch PanelLive Guide -Frame assistance YesBrightness adjustment +/- 2 levelsProtection panel Yes
