Tilt it, gesture with it, and you'll control it

With the ST500's built-in Acceleration Sensor, your gestures work as your commands. Manage camera functions, rotate or delete photos, create special slide shows and more…all without lifting a finger.

It knows you, and only gets your best side
The ST500 isn't just smart in design. With its Smart Face recognition technology , the ST500 creates brilliance with every snap. And keeps it that way. By knowing up to 20 of your friends and family, it automatically focuses on them first, making sure the most important subjects are always in crystal clarity. And since the ST500 never forgets a face, you can also browse more efficiently by the people you've registered.

Just what you had in mind
You see the image you want in your head. You point the ST500. And Smart Auto sees it too. This scene recognition technology actually chooses from 16 different settings ranging from landscape to portrait automatically.
Then adjusts for the perfect shot. Whether it's catching your friends on a night on the town or a waterfall off a mountain. What you get is exactly what you had in mind. Plus all the credit.

HD quality video. Now in a compact camera
If you prefer still shots to movies but want to leave your options open (and leave your camcorder at home) the ST500 is right for you. You'll get 720p HD quality video at 30 frames per second. And a recording time that's 4x longer than MJPEG video. You even can use the 4.6X Zoom to get up close and vividly personal. And when things get dicey, you can even pause your recording. You'll give up nothing, except carrying around that extra camera.
