  • 24× super wide optical zoom
  • iHS Technology
  • Most powerful IS in its class
The SH-50 has plenty to boast about, but it has one special feature that’s going to change point-and-shoot cameras forever: its groundbreaking, super-sharp image stabilisation (IS) technology. The SH-50 is the first-ever compact digital camera to counteract blur with the sophisticated 5-axis system normally used in DSLRs. Hybrid 5-axis Movie IS is so effective that you can actually make a movie as you run, entirely blur-free. For still shots, 3-axis Photo IS is just as powerful and, in this type of camera, just as rare. The world-beating IS isn’t just about razor-sharp shots. In combination with iHS technologies, it makes the SH-50 a fantastic camera for shooting in poor light. iHS includes the TruePic VI processor and backlit CMOS sensor that deliver the high sensitivity and high speed you need to enhance detail and reduce noise in low-light conditions. On top the SH-50 has a great feature for close-up imaging. Telephoto Macro mode lets you zoom in on tiny details from up to 40cm away to create fascinating stills and Full HD movies. If you record your movies in 120fps high-speed movie mode, you can play them back in HD in super slow-motion and catch movements you’d miss with the naked eye. In 1080 Full HD resolution, the SH-50 gives you a choice of the 60i or 30p format. Whichever you choose, the result will be sharp as a tack.

Every detail, any distance
Get phenomenal close-ups with the 24× optical zoom and 48× with super resolution.
Compact and easy to carry, the 24× optical zoom has an impressive focal length range of 25-600mm, giving you superb flexibility. And with super resolution zoom you can double zooming power to 48× and get exceptionally close to far-away subjects without any remarkable loss of image quality.

Stellar shots, day and night
Turn tricky shots into terrific shots – with iHS technology.
Originally designed for D-SLR cameras, iHS technologies combine high-speed TruePic VI processing with a high-sensitivity backlit CMOS Sensor – for faster response and a dramatic improvement in low-light performance.

Stay sharp under pressure
Blur-free shooting where blur would normally be.
Keep your photos and movies razor-sharp with sophisticated 3-axis Photo IS and the world’s first Hybrid 5-Axis Movie IS – designed to counteract blurring even in low light, with long shots and when you’re on the move.

Get close up – even far away
Shoot tiny subjects at a distance with telephoto macro shooting.
Complementing the ultra-powerful 24× zoom, the SH-50 lens lets you zoom in on detail from fully 40 cm without disturbing your subject – for amazing, blur-free macro shots.
 
Special moments deserve special movies
Capture life’s moments in Full HD. Or at high speed.
As well as Full 50i/25p HD Movie quality, high-speed HD shooting capabilities with 120fps now capture even the fastest moving objects in super slo-mo clarity. Record movement that isn’t even visible to the human eye – then play it back in slow motion on a TV.
