Notes & Features: Motion Detection Technology: Active when using Easy Mode and High-ISO Auto, this feature detects motion in the scene for a more intelligent method of automatically selecting the ISO. If Motion Detection technology senses no motion (static subject), it will choose a lower ISO, and if it senses motion (moving subject), it will select a higher ISO for a faster shutter speed. Sensor-shift Image Stabilization, Waterproof (10m/33ft), Shockproof (2m/6.6ft), Freezeproof (-10C/14F), Dustproof, 1080p Full HD Video. Available in black, blue, orange, silver and green.
