A perfectionist in image quality

This new Stylus flagship XZ-2 model is engineered to produce remarkable image quality for a compact camera - and excels in low-light conditions. As well as being equipped with new iHS technology and the same TruePic VI image processing engine used in ourtop-range OM-D model, it has a high-sensitivity, back-illuminated CMOS sensor that faithfully converts the condensed light thatpasses through the i-ZUIKO DIGITAL lens to produce true-to-life colours and edge-to-edge clarity with every shot. And luckily for nightphotography fans, this lens allows in a tremendous amount of light when you need it - all thanks to its extra-wide maximum apertureof 1:1.8. Not to mention the arty background blur and bokeh effects it can produce for portraits and macro shots. You’re always in fullcreative control in fact - thanks to a hybrid control ring that lets you switch from perfect zooming or fine manual focusing in analoguemode, to super-fast autofocus and the creativity of Art Filters in digital mode - all with a simple twist of the lens ring. Add to this touch-enabled focus and shoot in split seconds, a tilt LCD display for reaching all the high and low angles, and an optional protective case forunderwarer photography, and you have a superb all-rounder that isn’t afraid to perform in even the trickiest shooting situations.
