- Optisk billedstabilisator: Automatically detects and corrects camera shake, reducing blur in photos, especially when zoomed in or in low light.
- i-Contrast (Intelligent Contrast Correction): Brightens dark areas of an image while preserving bright areas, resulting in more balanced exposures. This can be applied during shooting or playback.

- ISO 1600/3200: High ISO settings (up to 1600, expandable to 3200 in Special Scene mode) reduce the effects of camera shake and improve performance in low-light conditions.
