SH-50
The SH-50 has plenty to boast about, but it has one special feature thats going to change point-and-shoot cameras forever: its groundbreaking, super-sharp image stabilisation (IS) technology. The SH-50 is the first-ever compact digital camera to counteract blur with the sophisticated 5-axis system normally used in DSLRs. Hybrid 5-axis Movie IS is so effective that you can actually make a movie as you run, entirely blur-free. For still shots, 3-axis Photo IS is just as powerful and, in this type of camera, just as rare. The world-beating IS isnt just about razor-sharp shots. In combination with iHS technologies, it makes the SH-50 a fantastic camera for shooting in poor light. iHS includes the TruePic VI processor and backlit CMOS sensor that deliver the high sensitivity and high speed you need to enhance detail and reduce noise in low-light conditions. On top the SH-50 has a great feature for close-up imaging. Telephoto Macro mode lets you zoom in on tiny details from up to 40cm away to create fascinating stills and Full HD movies. If you record your movies in 120fps high-speed movie mode, you can play them back in HD in super slow-motion and catch movements youd miss with the naked eye. In 1080 Full HD resolution, the SH-50 gives you a choice of the 60i or 30p format. Whichever you choose, the result will be sharp as a tack.

Stellar shots, day and night.
Turn tricky shots into terrific shots – with iHS technology.
Originally designed for D-SLR cameras, iHS technologies combine high-speed TruePic VI processing with a high-sensitivity backlit CMOS Sensor – for faster response and a dramatic improvement in low-light performance.
Intelligence
iHS technologies drive intelligent features that make sure you capture just the shot you want. Like Advanced iAuto, that automatically selects high-sensitivities for professional-looking night scenes.
High-Sensitivity
The backlit CMOS Sensor delivers excellent images in low light, with less noise and more detail in dark areas. Even with handheld shots you can create beautiful night scenes and photos under backlight conditions.
In extreme conditions, blurring may occur.
High-Speed
The TruePic VI processor starts your camera quicker and focuses faster. It powers high-speed sequential shooting and high-speed movies, which you can play back in dramatic slow motion.
Stay sharp under pressure
Blur-free shooting where blur would normally be.
Keep your photos and movies razor-sharp with sophisticated 3-axis Photo IS and the worlds first Hybrid 5-Axis Movie IS designed to counteract blurring even in low light, with long shots and when youre on the move.
Get close up even far away
Shoot tiny subjects at a distance with telephoto macro shooting.
Complementing the ultra-powerful 24x zoom, the SH-50 lens lets you zoom in on detail from fully 40 cm without disturbing your subject for amazing, blur-free macro shots.
Special moments deserve special movies
Capture lifes moments in Full HD. Or at high speed.
As well as Full 60i/30p HD Movie quality, high-speed HD shooting capabilities with 120fps now capture even the fastest moving objects in super slo-mo clarity. Record movement that isnt even visible to the human eye then play it back in slow motion on a TV.
The multi-tasking camera
Make movies and take photos simultaneously.
Ever wanted to shoot video and stills at the same time? Multi Recording lets you capture precious moments both as 16-Megapixel photos and Full 1080 HD movies. There’s also a “Photo with Movie Clip” function that automatically records movies before or after you take a still shot.
The right settings for every shot
Change settings like a pro.
Use M Mode to manually set exposure time, aperture and the ISO to perfectly fit your preferences. Enjoy the full control and create professional-looking effects like background blur.
