Navigating complicated menu systems is a thing of the past! The brilliant new Smart Touch user interface makes accessing menu functions and reviewing your images an absolute pleasure. This unique touch-sensitive system gives you easy, intuitive control over the camera, and the large 2.5" LCD gives you a great view everytime. ASR reduces the effects of camera shake in low light conditions and macro shooting. Flash photography can sometimes result in harsh, over-exposed images, but ASR guarantees bright, crisp and natural images without using a flash at all.This clever feature allows you to choose the best picture by taking 2 shots simultaneously - one using ASR and one using a flash. So if you''re unsure, let the camera do the work for you and simply choose the image you prefer when the hard work has been done!The L73 supports SVGA quality (800x592,20fps) for an enhanced video shooting experience. You can even edit your movies on the camera itself, making these clever models brilliantly portable but powerful movie-makers.This mode is used to select and cut desired scenes from a recorded movie, and save the scenes. The mode is very convenient because editing a movie can occur within the camera itself, immediately after recording the movie. The high-speed continuous shooting function makes it possible to take 30 high resolution images VGA size(640x480) in one sequence.When the shutter is pressed down and held, 30 shots are taken per second. Using this function, you can analyse your golf swing, capture a race car speeding by, or study other sequences of motion.
You have a choice of scene modes to help you get the perfect shot in any situation. By automatically adjusting the camera''s setting according to the situation, you can be sure of getting great pictures effortlessly. The scene modes provided are Night Scene, Portrait, Children, Landscape, Text, Sunset, Dawn, Backlight, Fireworks, Beach and Snow. A special Red-eye Fix algorithm on the camera automatically eliminates red-eye from your pictures. You can remove red-eye during image payback, or for even greater convenience, set the camera to automatically detect and eliminate red-eye from your shots as they are taken. An easy-to-understand guide is provided in order for novice and expert photographers alike to manipulate the camera easily. When there is a change in shooting or scene modes, a brief explanation of the mode concerned is provided so that the user is guided to select the mode suitable for the shooting environment. This Self Timer function enables the camera to detect the movement of a subject and take the picture automatically when the movement stops. After the motion timer is set and the shutter button is pressed, the camera is moved to the shooting setting to prepare for taking pictures. When the subject is ready for shooting and stops moving, the camera senses it and automatically takes the picture. When viewing the images on the LCD, it is possible to listen to music provided by the camera or add special effects to the images to be displayed on the LCD. Diverse slide effects make image viewing more interesting.
