The EX-S8 features an ultra-bright Super Clear LCD display that measures 2.7" and has 230,000 pixels of resolution - enabling viewing from almost any angle. The bright LCD display also delivers unusually high contrast, giving you a particularly clear and crisp view of your subjects - even in direct sunlight.
Best Shot Mode
The S8 has 23 Best Shot modes including two unique modes that activate the shutter when the subject enters or leaves the frame. If you want to capture an image of a hummingbird in this mode, you can focus on the flower. Then, when the hummingbird enters the frame, the shutter will fire automatically. Having up to 60 frames to choose from, you will have the exact image you want.
Focus Frames
Besides the rectangular focusing frame usually displayed on the LCD monitor, you can choose designs such as a heart or a butterfly for the frame design. When the camera is correctly focused, a beautiful heart can be displayed, and when correct focus is not achieved the heart pattern breaks up. This makes it easy to ensure correct focus, and it is fun.
Face Detection Feature
The camera can detect faces automatically and adjusts for optimum focus and brightness to optimize the appearance of the faces in your image. The camera even follows the movement of moving subjects, which simplifies shooting images of active kids and pets
