One of its standout physical features is the fully articulated 3.0-inch LCD with 921,000 dots of resolution, which makes it easier to compose shots from unconventional angles compared to fixed-screen compacts. Optical image stabilization (OIS) is built in to help manage camera shake during handheld shooting. The camera supports burst mode at up to 7fps, useful for action or quick-moving subjects.
