A number of exciting features are contained in a digital camera. The digital zoom is a feature that takes a portion of the image’s data and enlarges it to produce a magnification similar to the effect achieved using a telephoto lens. However, images tend to degrade more as the digital zoom becomes stronger. It is the optical zoom feature that magnifies the size of an image without degrading picture quality through lens adjustment.

The Intelligent ISO adjusts a camera’s settings to better capture moving images. A subject-motion detection circuitry will automatically adjust the setting to the appropriate virtual film speed that will help prevent motion blur. The Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) is another feature but is an exclusive Panasonic technology that compensates for the unintentional hand movements that occur while taking digital pictures.
