A simple, stylish camera that selects the most suitable Scene mode for any situation.

FEATURES:

  • iA Mode Helps Prevent Shooting Mistakes in a Variety of Situations
  • Select iA mode, and the FS42 automatically activates a host of advanced functions and technologies described below that make it easy to capture beautiful, clear shots.
  • Intelligent Scene Selector - The camera automatically selects whichever of five Scene modes – Portrait, Night Portrait, Scenery, Night Scenery, and Macro best suits the situation.
  • Face Detection AF/AE - The camera detects when there are faces in the frame and adjusts the focus and exposure to capture them properly. This allows you to shoot beautiful portraits without any hassle.
  • Intelligent ISO Control - If the subject moves as you snap the shot, the camera automatically adjusts the ISO sensitivity and shutter speed to help prevent subject blur.
  • While batteries become smaller to fit into slimmer camera bodies, power consumption continues to grow from more and more camera functions. You get long-life operation of around 390 shots* on a single battery charge, thanks to new ICs, redesigned circuits, and the energy-saving Venus Engine IV image-processing engine. These improvements work together with an efficient, rechargeable lithium-ion battery to extend the shooting time.
