Exceptional image quality
Combining 14 megapixels with a brand-new imaging process and a reliable Shake Reduction mechanism, the Optio S1 delivers brilliant, sharp and true-to-life pictures, even when enlarged to poster sizes.
HD proportioned movie recording with dedicated REC button
Capture beautiful, flawless movies at 16:9 HD TV proportions (1280x720 pixels) thanks to the Optio S1, which even embedds an independent Movie REC button at back, in order to instantly start movie recording.
Face Detection and Smile Capture functions
Making wonderful pictures has never been so easy, thanks to the Face Detection function, which automatically detects subject's faces and keeps them in sharp focus and optimum exposure. Discover the Smile Capture mode, which automatically releases the shutter the moment the camera detects the subject's smile.
