You can capture the following
still images sizes : 640 x 480,
320 x 240, 160 x 120, 80 x
60, and 40 x 30 pixels.
When capturing a small
resolution image (i.e. 80 x 60
or 40 x 30 pixels) , the
displayed image on the finder
window may appear blurred.
A gap may appear when a
rapid-moving object is
displayed. However this is not
a malfunction.
If you turn the lens inwards,
Smart Capture goes into mirror
mode. You can use the mirror
mode, to take a video clip of
yourself. A mirror-image
appears in the finder window
of the display while shooting,
however, after capturing a
normal image appears.
