Other features include an HDR mode, GPS, an electronic compass, a 5 fps sports mode, dual IS image stabilization, a 3.0-inch organic EL monitor, full HD video recording, optional waterproof fisheye and tele-converter lenses, and, just for the lulz, a pet mode that automatically snaps the shutter when your furry friend looks straight into the camera.
