Advanced Shake Reduction (ASR)
　　- for improved low-light performance

ASR reduces the effects of camera shake in low light conditions and macro shooting. Flash photography can sometimes result in harsh, over-exposed images, but ASR guarantees bright, crisp and natural images without using a flash at all.

Flash or no flash? Wise Shot can take both at once

This clever feature allows you to choose the best picture by taking 2 shots simultaneously - one using ASR and one using a flash. So if you''re unsure, let the camera do the work for you and simply choose the image you prefer when the hard work has been done!
