Face Detection AF/AE for Beautiful Portraits
Whether you're taking a portrait or a snapshot, you
want every face to come out beautifully. The L10 makes
it easy, thanks to the world’s first Face Detection AF/AE
function on a digital SLR camera. The L10 automatically
detects when there are faces in the frame, and optimizes
the focus and exposure to capture them stunningly. Once the
camera spots a face, it will follow it even if the person moves.
The L10 can detect up to 15 faces in a frame.

Flexible AF/AE Functions to Fit the Way You Shoot
The L10 features a dual auto focus system, with TTL phase difference
AF and contrast AF. With Live View, you can use not only the TTL phase
difference AF but also any of six contrast AF modes, with 256-zone
multi light metering. When you're shooting this way, the LCD shows
you how the whole image will look before you take the shot.
Intelligent ISO Control Helps Prevent Motion Blur
The L10 is the world's first digital SLR to feature
Intelligent ISO Control. This innovative function senses if the
subject moves and automatically adjusts the ISO setting and
shutter speed accordingly, helping to prevent motion blur.
If the subject remains still, the camera shoots at a low ISO
setting to give you beautiful, natural-looking images.

Multi-Exposures – For Easy Creative Compositions
The L10 lets you take up to three exposures in a single frame.
Once you've taken the fi rst shot,
Live View displays that image
on the LCD monitor, so you
can compose the second shot.
Also, the gain is automatically
compensated according to the
number of exposures.
Movable Guidelines for Precise Composition
Guidelines can be displayed on the LCD when you're shooting
with Live View, making it easy to check
that you're holding the camera level or,
for artistic compositions, at the desired
angle. The lines can be moved anywhere
you wish with the cursor button.
Film Mode – To Capture Photos
with a Special Mood or Expressiveness
Professional film photographers select different films for their
distinctive coloring and contrast, to achieve a desired effect. The
L10 gives you this same kind of capability, letting you choose from
six color and three monochrome Film modes. Once you select
a mode – and before you take the shot – you can see in the LCD
what the photo will look like. That's another Live View advantage.
Choice of Three Aspect Ratios
The L10 gives you a choice of three aspect ratios (photo shapes)
when using full-time Live View. Select the conventional 4:3 ratio,
the 3:2 ratio of 35mm fi lm or the 16:9 ratio of wide-screen TVs,
according to the subject and the way you'll use the shot. With
the 16:9 ratio, you can take HD photos that fill a wide-screen
HDTV for a sensational viewing experience.
