Miscellaneous
Notes & Features: Scene Recognition AUTO, Face Detection and Automatic Red-eye Removal, Picture Stabilization Mode, One Touch Movie. Very closely related to RS1000. Only differences are clip-on (screwless) face plates rather than screw-on kind, slightly more internal memory, newer software CD, and slight differences to scene and Auto Picture modes.
