cording: to JPEG standard, and 320 x 240 pixels to
QuickTime Motion JPEG standard. Video recording:
to QuickTime Motion JPEG standard.

f/2–2.4 ASPH. (corresponds to 28–90 mm with
35 mm-format); 13 lenses in 10 elements, 4 aspheri-
cal surfaces. Focal length change with ring on lens.
Digital focal length extension Optionally: off, 2 x or
3x.
