Ready to snap photos while you swim with family and friends this summer? This camera comes with a brightly-colored foam wrist strap to let you keep it close at hand in the ocean, lake, or pool. And the strap floats, so if it happens to come loose from your wrist, you can still easily retrieve your camera on the surface of the water.
The rock-solid Stylus 850 SW is waterproof down to 10 feet, so you can take pictures of splashing children and even film movie clips underwater. Snap fun shots on the slopes — the 850 SW keeps working in below-freezing temperatures. Detailed 8-megapixel imaging lets you capture a skier's expression as she finishes her first expert run. And shoot crisp, lifelike portraits with help from the camera's face detection feature. It focuses on your subject and automatically adjusts exposure to suit the surrounding light.
Take extra-wide panorama shots with this camera's built-in photo stitching capability. If you want to record the team lineup at a swim meet, for example, just press the shutter button and slowly pan across your scene until all the swimmers have appeared in your frame. The camera automatically takes three shots, and then turns them into a seamless image that spans the whole group.
The camera's built-in 14.8MB memory holds about 3 pictures at top resolution — add optional xD-Picture Cards™ for more storage.
