Highly Portable, Slim, Lightweight Design for Easy Carrying
Even with its 3x zoom lens, the CAMEDIA C-1Zoom's body is extremely compact, (35mm(D) x 112mm(W) x 62mm(H)) and weighs only 185 grams. An egg-shaped lens barrier accents the attractive, chic design. In addition to using a barrier-type lens protector, the overall design is flat with minimal protrusions, so you can keep it in a bag or pocket ready at any time to take advantage of those sudden photo opportunities.

Simple Controls and Easy Operation for Casual, Carefree Shooting
Power is automatically switched on when the lens barrier is opened; to take a picture, all users need to do is open the barrier and press the shutter button. The number of control buttons has been kept to a minimum for greater simplicity, and the camera's short shutter-release lag time reduces waiting and allows photos to be taken in rapid succession.

High-Performance Full-Auto Operation for High-Quality Imaging with Ease
High-performance full-auto functions include precision autofocusing, digital ESP metering and TTL white balance. As a result, beautiful images can be obtained simply by opening the lens barrier to switch on the power, and pressing the shutter button.
