Anyone who wants to make some adjustments yourself, to influence the quality of images in its sole discretion, the compression rate may adjust itself, inter alia, the ISO value, however. The best results we achieved during testing with through ISO 200 and Memory Mode 8 megapixels with normal compression. Who is important in a conventional photographic quality for the album, which is likely to be best served with this setting.
The Program AE works quite well. However, the noise from ISO is no longer overlook 400.
The image stabilization works passable and can address some shooting situations more calmly.
Portrait and macro shots are satisfactory. Serious recordings in this area are not really possible with this camera. When used on a tripod but can still be fairly good portraits and reasonably successful macro shooting.
Who extends the full Tele mode, must reckon with a generally poorer picture quality. The complete wide angle works best outdoors in the daytime. Landscape and architectural photography wide angle have the best picture quality. In this respect, the camera is a real holiday camera, with which you can record all important impressions.
Inside, we achieved a very good quality with medium telephoto value. Not too far, not too close in and Raise the flash. The backlight compensation when used with flash is unexpectedly smooth and pleasant.
The autofocus works very slowly. Shutter lag us also happens quite sedate. For quick snapshot camera, this is not intended, rather thoughtful shots (landscape, architecture, group photos).
The video function is quite good in quality. For occasional shots perfectly adequate; certainly not necessarily suitable for more.
With a fully charged battery when using flash, we were able to shoot approximately 350 images in 14 megapixel with fine compression. When taking pictures outdoors in the wide-angle without flash the battery lasts almost twice as long. Of course, it remains the case before each use Check battery power and possibly recharge.
For easy opportunity photographer who wants to keep impressions in Sights and attractions without too much photographic ambitions, this camera is ideal. The different programs cover the most important needs and allow a relatively consistently good image quality.
Technology, image quality, battery power and program selection are good for the price. We give "only" 4 stars because we the noise from 400 ISO is too much something. Nevertheless, serious purchase recommendation to anyone who is looking for a relatively well-equipped compact camera with an average of good image quality for vacation and leisure. We think that we can be satisfied with the device. We got what we expected.
