Affordable Fun for Everyone.
The FE-26 not only puts the fun back into everyday photography, but also focuses more attention on achieving the best results—no matter what your level of photographic skill. Intelligent Auto + Shadow Adjustment Technology, AF Tracking and many other great features put picture-taking magic right in your hands.
AF Tracking.
The camera automatically tracks the movements of frequently-moving subjects—kids and pets, for instance—and continuously adjusts the focus and brightness so that they're captured clearly and sharply with ease.
Intelligent Auto + Shadow Adjustment.
The two technologies combine to identify the type of scene you're going after—for instance, Portraits, Landscapes, Night + Portraits, Macro or Sport—and automatically adjusts the camera's setting to achieve the best results possible.
Advanced Face Detection.
The camera can track up to 16 faces in one shot and then automatically sets the focus and exposure to optimize the clarity of every face in the frame.
Magic Filter.
Get creative with artistic filter effects such as Pop Art, Pinhole or Wedding.
Digital Image Stabilization.
With higher ISO sensitivity and faster shutter speeds, you can capture sharp, blur-free images, even when your subject is on the move.
