Included are a batch of intelligent technologies like Smile Shutter that captures a smile as it breaks; Face Detection for capturing up to 8 faces; seven Scene Selection modes for quickly adjusting to a specific shooting location; in-camera Trimming and Red-Eye correction for enhancing photos; and a Picture Motion Browser for the PC that simplifies the process of moving photos/videos to and from the camera. Sitting right beneath the zoom buttons is a sliding switch for automatically switching the camera from shooting, playback, or video mode. Overall, the DSC-W180 is perhaps one of the easiest digital cameras to use — making it an optimal solution for beginners and intermediates alike.
