The camera can also be set to allow the simultaneous recording of both RAW and JPEG images while shooting. This camera also features DIGIC 4 Image Processor that delivers Face Detection Technology that finds and tracks the faces of moving subjects, focuses and automatically adjusts exposure, flash and white balance for natural skin tones and properly exposed backgrounds.
