Image Stabilisation system
Outstanding pictures
With the new, Mechanical CCD Shift technology, in conjunction with the Motion Analysis system and the Anti Shake DSP*, the risk of shaky photos is reduced to a minimum.
The CCD Shift system mechanically compensates for camera movements via a mobile image sensor. The Motion Analysis technology automatically analyses the speed and direction of a moving subject – ISO sensitivity and exposure time are then optimally adjusted as appropriate. The Anti Shake DSP* is the solution for electronically resolving the problem of picture blurriness caused by shaking hands or by the movement of the picture subject. And with the Film Stabilisation function*, there is a reduced risk of filming shaky scenes due to a wobbly camera grip.

Non Deterioration Zoom
Even closer to the action
A genuine innovation ensures that the compact EX-Z200 facilitates a zoom up to 22.8x*. Look forward to a whole new world of opportunities in pocket format!
And here is how it works:
The 10.1-megapixel resolution makes it possible to use an innovative method: when the digital zoom is activated, pictures with resolutions from VGA up to 7 megapixels can be saved in the central area of the CCD chip and displayed at the corresponding zoom without any loss of quality. Depending on the resolution selected, this method allows you to achieve a zoom of 22.8x — and that will certainly get you close to the action.
