Focus faster

It takes just 0.1 seconds to lock on focus in daylight conditions. That’s twice as fast as the average human can react. With high speed autofocus in less than half a second you can capture the shot of a lifetime.

Go pro with a Multi Interface Shoe

It might be pocket-sized, but it’s got professional performance and features. It has a Multi Interface Shoe that you can add a flash, electronic viewfinder or microphone too. And a new long-life battery will keep you flashing, recording and shooting all day long.

Fine-tune shots with handy controls

Looking for a camera that puts you in control? There are manual control and exposure value dials on top where you can select aperture or shutter priority and change exposure values manually. Or for fast shots, you can let the camera choose the best settings.
