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 inlow‑light conditions. As well as being equipped with new iHS technology and the same TruePic VI image processing engine usedin our top‑range OM‑D model, it has a high‑sensitivity, back‑illuminated CMOS sensor that faithfully converts the condensedlight that passes through the i‑ZUIKO DIGITAL lens to produce true‑to‑life colours and edge‑to‑edge clarity with every shot. Andluckily for night photography fans, this lens allows in a tremendous amount of light when you need it ‑ all thanks to its extra‑widemaximum aperture of 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 full creative control in fact ‑ thanks to a hybrid control ring that lets you switch from perfect zooming or fine manualfocusing in analogue mode, to super‑fast autofocus and the creativity of Art Filters in digital mode ‑ all with a simple twist of the lensring. Add to this touch‑enabled focus and shoot in split seconds, a tilt LCD display for reaching all the high and low angles, andan optional protective case for underwarer photography, and you have a superb all‑rounder that isn’t afraid to perform in even thetrickiest shooting situations.
