Like its predecessors, it takes sharp photos (though some claim the 995 is sharper) and has a long shutter lag.

Its automation manages 16 pre-programmed Scene modes to facilitate shooting (landscape, portrait, macro, sunset/moonlight, panorama assistant, text, museum, party/indoor, twilight, backlight, beach / snow, night portrait, combination of shots, fireworks, night, sports).

The white balance is done automatically, but also semi-manually with pre-set options (sunny, incandescent light, fluorescent tubes, cloudy, flash).

Its built-in flash has an effective range of 0.5 to 3 m in wide-angle and 0.5 to 1.6 m in telephoto, and has a red-eye reduction function.

The “Noise reduction” function is automatically activated when the shutter speed is slow.
