| Features |
| DYNAMIC PHOTO e-GREETINGS | | Thanks to the high-speed image processing capability of the new engine, a moving subject can be cut out of a number of images that have been shot and combined with a different still shot that forms the background.
|
| 4X WIDE-ANGLE ZOOM LENS | | An ultra wide angle 26mm lens reaching to 104mm allows a wide range of capture options. An Ultra wide angle lens allows for capture of grand vistas, or confined interior shots with not much room to maneuver.
|
| HIGH-DEFINITION MOVIE | | The EX-Z550 lets you shoot beautiful 1280 x 720-pixel HD movies. After your video is recorded you can view it by connecting your camera directly to a TV for big screen viewing.
|
| ART SHOT | | ART SHOT
Makes use of the image processing technology in the Exilim Engine 5.0 to create photos for scenery or human subjects that have the feel of a painting.
|
| INTELLIGENT COLOR | | Automatic adjusting of multiple levels of white balance improves images for both human and background under night scene.
|
| PREMIUM AUTO | | Premium Auto enables the camera to automatically analyze the scene being photographed - including distinguishing night scenes, back lighting, a blue sky, green trees or a sunset - as well as sensing whether there is a face in the frame, the movement and position of the subject, and whether a tripod is being used.
|
| CCD STABILIZATION | | This feature stabilizes the image mechanically during recording whenever camera movement is detected. Images come out crisp and clear, even under conditions that are prone to camera movement.
