Wide-angle 28mm shots are also possible, and optical zooming of up to 18x is supported. An intelligent flash detects when it is needed and activates automatically. CCD Shift Image Stabilization allows for some basic resistance to blur due to accidental movements of the camera. SD and SDHC memory cards can be used for storage, and files can be directly moved from them or a USB connection can be used to copy files. An HDMI Mini connector port is also available, allowing the camera to connect to any HDMI enabled display and show video and pictures in HD.
