Notes & Features |
Video out is for playback only, not usable as viewfinder or for menus. Cycle time of 2.5 seconds is for first two shots, then 7.6 seconds to third. Late models of camera partially corrected sharpness problem in very bright conditions (sun/beach-snow) that resulted in fuzzy pictures at high brightness. |
