Simple Mode for Beginners In Simple mode, only the most basic information is displayed on the LCD monitor. This easy-to-see, easy-to-understand graphical user interface (GUI) is simple enough even for first-time users to operate. Full Auto Button If you should ever become confused about the various settings while customizing the Xacti HD700, you can simply press the Full Auto button to switch to automatic mode.
Face Chaser Function The image processing LSI has a unique face-detection algorithm that was developed based on the facial images of more than 5,000 people. This allows it to instantly detect up to 12 faces within the frame and automatically adjust the focus and exposure according to the detected faces. It helps ensure that you capture your subjects’ faces sharply and beautifully.
Electronic Image Stabilizer for Stills When still images are taken, the Xacti HD700’s image stabilizer uses a built-in gyro to accurately detect the direction and amount of camera shake. It then cancels out the blurred component of the captured image to create a sharp, well-defined picture. Note: Using the electronic image stabilizer may change the angle of view.
High-Performance, 7.38-Megapixel CCD With its 1/2.5-inch, 7.38-megapixel (total) CCD, the Xacti HD700 lets you take beautiful still images with vivid, true-to-life color and extraordinary detail. It can also shoot 5.3-megapixel (3072 x 1728) stills in the 16:9 aspect ratio.
	Real-Time Interpolation for 10-Megapixel Recording SANYO’s original algorithm uses a pixel-interpolation filter to convert the CCD’s 7.38 megapixels to the recorded equivalent of 10 megapixels (3680 x 2760 pixels). Not only does this filter let you produce fine-grained A3-sized printouts of detailed images, it also lets you enlarge part of an image without sacrificing image fidelity.
High-Sensitivity ISO 3200 Stills With the Xacti HD700, you can shoot 7.1-megapixel still images at the equivalent of ISO 3200. This makes it easy to get great shots in low-light situations where blurring commonly occurs, such as in dimly lit rooms or outdoors at night.
	High-Definition Movies and Still Images Captured Simultaneously While you’re shooting a HD (1280 x 720) movie with the Xacti HD700, you can simultaneously record a 7.1-megapixel still image with a simple press of the shutter button. Note: Depending on the mode used to take still images, simultaneous movie shooting may be interrupted.
Super Macro Shooting, Minimum Distance of 1 cm Ideal for shooting plants, insects, or small objects, the Xacti HD700’s super macro function lets you get as close as 1 cm away from your subject.
Red-Eye Correction The Xacti HD700’s red-eye correction feature lets you easily correct red-eye caused by the flash, restoring the natural color of your subject’s eyes. Note: The corrective effect may differ depending on the subject and shooting conditions.
Versatile Manual Mode Enables Full-Fledged Shooting The following settings can be manually adjusted according to the shooting situation. Manual focus adjustment (16 settings); aperture adjustment (6 steps); exposure correction (±1.8 EV, 0.3 EV steps); shutter speed (14 settings); ND filter On/Off; and image-quality adjustment (for sharpness and color saturation).
