The 14-megapixel AE100 features a large-aperture wide-angle lens with 5x optical zoom—higher-end specifications seldom seen in a compact camera. The F2.4-aperture lens helps reduce the effects of camera shake under low-light conditions, & that means you can more reliably get great photos indoors & in other dimly lit locations. The panorama feature was designed to capture the entire skyline in one single shot by stitching 2 to 3 images into one single & seamless large picture. The AE100 guides you frame by frame into creating the panoramic view you want. Take shots from as close as five centimeters away, for incredible detail & an intimate feel with subjects like a dew-speckled blossom or an intricately textured tapestry. The AE100 gives you some delightful special effects that take the fun of photography to a whole new level. Besides pure fun, the LOMO, FISHEYE, & COLOR ACCENT also let you give your shots a unique personal touch.
