INTCOMEX - Premiere distributor of a wide range of computer products

Product description

The 12.5x optical zoom lens covers a wide shooting range with focal length ranging from 24mm 2 wide-angle to 300mm 2 telephoto. It can capture big, up-close images of even the most distant subjects, creating high-impact pictures such as the facial expressions of children in athletic or theatrical events or athletes in professional sport competitions. To reduce the picture blur commonly associated with telephoto shooting effectively, the SZ-20 features DUAL IS using a CMOS-shift image stabilization mechanism and high-sensitivity image capturing. It also features dedicated Movie REC button to immediately shooting movies and Magic Movies to enhance your camera life. Moreover, you can enjoy the SZ-20 not only in special events but also in your usual life with the full array of functions such as 3D Photos 6, Smart Panorama, Hand-Held Starlight Mode and Pet Mode.

Product features

Backlit CMOS sensor for high-sensitivity shooting
The SZ-20 features a 16-megapixel backlit CMOS sensor which condenses more efficient light and lowers noise so that the camera offers superb image quality even for low-light shots. The CMOS sensors are also great for high-speed image processing so High-Speed Continuous Shooting is another forte of this camera.
HD movie (MPEG-4 AVC / H. 264) recording
Extended smooth and beautiful HDTV (1920 x 1080 pixels) movie recording is available, as movies are encoded in MPEG-4 AVC/H. 264 format. Movie recording can be manipulated by a dedicated movie REC button. High-resolution Multi-Recording movies also come with high-quality stereo sound.
Hand-Held Starlight Mode
The SZ-20 takes four different photos with one click of the shutter in Hand-Held Starlight Mode. By overlaying pictures in continuous shooting mode at high precision and merged to produce a single nigh-scene photo, you can get beautiful night shots without blur and with reduced noise even in the darkest parts of the image.
Smart Panorama
Thanks to the backlit CMOS sensor's high processing capability, anyone can capture the dynamic panoramas of 360-degree at maximum.
High-speed continuous shooting
High-speed continuous shooting of up to 7 full-size photos per second, and up to 15 photos per second (image size is limited to 5M or smaller) are available. The Auto Split Shooting Mode automatically split images recorded while the shutter button is pressed up to 9 frames, so you do not have to worry about not having enough frames from a sequence.
Magic Filters
The SZ-20 features an expanded range of 8 Magic Filters, Pop, Pin Hole, Fisheye, Sketch, Soft Focus and Punk inherited from the previous model, and newly added Watercolor 7 and Sparkle 8. Furthermore, Magic Movies recordings are available in Pop, Pin Hole, Sketch Soft Focus, Punk and Watercolor delivering distinct look and artistic feel.
3D Photo shooting function
You can shoot dynamic 3D photos in any mode from macro to landscape. Recreate a sense of depth like that of the original scene. You can then enjoy the full power of 3D images on compatible TV sets and computers. Simply select the 3D Photo in Shooting mode and then release the shutter and slide the camera sideways to easily get a 3D photo. During 3D Photo shooting, a 3D file and regular JPEG files are recorded at the same time. There are two modes to shoot 3D photos.
MP Format (Multi Picture Format)
This is a format standardized by CIPA to handle multiple images under a single image file. When you use the 3D Photo Shooting function, the images for the right and left eye are recorded in a single MP format file.
Pet Mode 9
The camera automatically detects dogs' and cats' faces. Selecting the [Pet Mode - Dog] or [Pet Mode - Cat] from the scene mode, the camera will quickly detect your pet's face and automatically focus on it before shooting the photo. The camera will detect up to 10 faces of different dogs or cats.
