Specs

The stylish i Zoom 60 combines an ultracompact design and an incredible array of powerful functions with the only all-weather body in its class. Based on the award-winning design of the famous Stylus series, the i Zoom 60 produces exceptionally crisp, clear and vibrantly colorful pictures from the slopes to the shores.

With its versatile 28-60mm 2x zoom lens and intelligent variable, quick-charging flash, the i Zoom 60 is an elegant but powerful performer—and takes full advantage of the benefits of APS film. But even with all of its impressive features, the i Zoom 60 is still small enough to put in a shirt pocket or suit jacket.

Asperhical lens elements superior resolution in a smaller, lighter lens—translating into great, sharp, vivid pictures

Flash System

The i Zoom 60’s flash system (with only a 2.5 second recycle) has several sensors to input information about the required illumination—not only triggering the flash automatically when needed, but adjusting the intensity for situations like close-up shooting, to help make sure your pictures aren’t "washed out" or overexposed.

In addition, the i Zoom 60 features six versatile flash modes that make it easy for anyone to take great photographs:

Auto Flash fires automatically in low light to help ensure the illumination is appropriate
Red-Eye Reduction Flash Mode emits a series of pre-flashes right before the shutter snaps, allowing the subject's eyes to adjust to the light level of the flash—minimizing the red-eye effect
Night Scene Flash Mode automatically lowers the shutter speed, helping to ensure that both foreground and background are properly illuminated for night scenes

Fill-In Flash Mode softens the sharp contrasts, for a more natural look in photos when your subject is in both bright light and dark shadow
Flash Off Mode is available when flash photography is not permitted, or for special "moody" effects using available light
Red-Eye Reduction Night Scene Mode reduces the red-eye effect in pictures taken in the Night Scene Mode
