9-Point Multi AF function
Entirely automatic
If you take photos using the multi-focus, the camera measures the distance from the motif with the 9-Point Multi AF function at nine different points and sets the right focusing range. In addition, all the measured areas are displayed simultaneously which were the object of the focussing procedure. This means that every picture is extremely crisply focused.

Non Deterioration Zoom
Even closer to the action
A real innovation ensures that the compact EX-Z100 can provide a zoom of up to 22,8x. Enjoy entirely new possibilities in pocket format!
And here is how it works:
The 10.1 Megapixel resolution makes it possible to use a sophisticated method: a small area at the edge of the CCD chip is "switched off". The picture in the middle of the chip is now enlarged. This turns the 4x optical inner zoom into a 22,8x equivalent zoom – and the resolution remains at its high level of 7 megapixels. With a VGA resolution, you can even obtain a huge zoom factor of 22.8* - to get even closer to the action.
