Pocket-sized perfection. How much technology can you possibly pour into a sleek, slim-bodied digital camera that's smaller than a deck of cards? How about Built-in Help Guides, One-Touch Operations, Preset Scene Modes, 3x optical zoom, and a 2.5" LCD? The super-slim FE-230 is absolutely packed with features that make it fun and easy to use.
SUPER-SLIM (0.65") BODY. This amazingly slim, sleek-bodied camera is so thin you can easily slide it in your pocket and take it anywhere. DIGITAL IMAGE STABILIZATION MODE & EDIT. Prevent and correct blurry images without a computer! Digital Image Stabilization Mode freezes the action for crisp, clear images. Digital Image Stabilization Edit uses built-in gyro sensors to track camera movement so you can fix blurry images right in the camera. BRIGHT CAPTURE TECHNOLOGY. Keep it bright even in low light! When shooting or recording in certain scene modes, Bright Capture allows you to clearly preview your shot on the LCD and capture brighter, more vivid images in low light situations — without a flash. 19 SHOOTING MODES INCLUDING MOVIE WITH SOUND. Preset shooting modes optimize the camera's settings for any shooting situation. Choose from Portrait, Night Scene, Underwater, Movie and more.
