Product Description
Capture every detail with impressive 40x Optical zoom1 and 80x Dynamic Fine Zoom2. Outstanding Vibration Reduction stabilises your shots with a shutter speed effect at approximately 3.0 stops faster and 40x Optical zoom1. Keep speeding subjects in focus too, with Target Finding Autofocus (AF) and Pre-focus AF. You’ll also enjoy Full HD (1080p/60i) video-recording and creative shooting modes, such as Short Movie Show, that combine multiple clips into 30-second films.
Express yourself with the new Creative mode. Choose from an array of presets and let the camera do the rest. You can personalise your shots with 12 Glamour Retouch options – making your shots even more thrilling.
At approximately 542 g and measuring 113.5 mm (w) x 78.3 mm (h) x 94.9 mm (d) without projections, the B500’s comfortable to shoot with, yet impressively stable. Intuitive control features, such as the mode dial and Side Zoom Control, means you’ll always be ready to go.
