Main technical characteristics

Screen with a diagonal of 3 inches and a resolution of 1.04 megapixels. The display rotates up to 100 degrees and down to 45 degrees, which will ensure comfortable work with the camera. Thanks to the touch screen, it is not difficult to control the device and makes it almost no different from a smartphone: focusing, zooming, scrolling through the footage. The camera is equipped with an electronic viewfinder with a resolution of 2.36 megapixels, on which all information from the screen is also duplicated.

Above the lens is a built-in flash, it is raised and lowered manually.The main controls are located on the top panel of the device on the right, on the left there is only the power lever and the context menu button.
