It also hosts an ultra compact frame for easily storing it in a pocket like a phone, a rechargeable battery so users don’t have to keep buying new batteries, and a 28mm lens with a 3x optical zoom. The latter works with a 10MP CCD sensor to allow the ST30 to capture high quality photos with a deeper perspective and sharper pixels than a conventional entry-level camera. Also featured are a bevy of advanced functions. Smart Auto automatically optimizes settings for every shot, face detection automatically focuses the camera on the faces of loved ones and friends, and digital image stabilization evens out skin tones, erases blemishes, and removes dark circles.
