But it's a bummer if you are looking for a camera that feels substantive or if size suggests to you that a camera can withstand the rigors of high volume work. One very nice touch is the lens. Designed by famous lens crafter Carl Zeiss, it rotates on an axis. While the only utility that might be ascribed to this rotation is the ability to photograph oneself, that does seem like a thoughtful innovation. The auto-focus is a delight and works like a charm.
Macro mode is available for focusing on objects close up.
If you have used a digital camera in the past, you will adapt to this one quickly. If it's your first, you will find the accompanying manual helpful. Like most digital cameras, this unit features a back-lit LCD screen that acts as viewfinder. Unfortunately, it does not include the manual viewfinder found on most digital cameras. This oversight is a disappointment for photo vets who like to frame their shots.
