With CIS you can capture sharp, colorful scenes and portraits underwater or at night. The Tracking Auto Focus (AF) function follows fast moving subjects so they don’t escape from the frame in a blur.

When you fully press the shutter button, the subject will be in the center of the photo in perfect focus.
