Pink GE 8.0
Megapixels
Digital Camera 5x Optical Zoom, 4.5x Digital Zoom, 3.0" LCD
 The
H855 is a special-edition version of GE’s popular E850 and
offers 8 megapixels of resolution, a 3-inch LCD screen, 5X
zoom and a 28-mm equivalent wide-angle lens. Included in the
purchase are a handsome black carrying case and an exclusive
suite of ArcSoft software that allows you to modify your
images, create greeting cards, make CD and DVD labels, and
much more.
First, there is
a generous 8-megapixel rating for capturing every detail of
your images. Then there is a 28mm equivalent wide-angle
lens. It makes taking great indoor group pictures easier
because subjects don’t have to squeeze uncomfortably close
together to fit into the pictures. The H855’s 5X optical
zoom and the 4.5X digital zoom provide super focal
flexibility. And the camera’s large 3-inch LCD screen means
you won’t have to squint to see what you’re capturing.
A simple,
intuitive user interface makes the H855 easy to use even for
novices. Its slim and stylish design is also jam packed with
great features like in-camera panoramic stitching, red-eye
removal, face tracking, electronic stabilization and MPEG-4
movie recording. The H855 comes with a rechargeable
Lithium-ion battery for non-stop picture taking. And its
memory can be expanded up to 4 gigabytes with SD or SDHC
memory cards.
Compare the H855
with other 8-megapixel cameras and you’ll see why it’s one
of the first cameras worthy of the GE name.

Features
-
Megapixels
A megapixel (one million pixels) is a unit of
image-sensing capacity in a digital camera. A pixel -
shorthand for "picture element" - is the basic unit of
programmable color on a computer display or in a
computer image. In general, the more megapixels in a
camera, the better the resolution when making larger
prints.
-
Optical Zoom
Optical zoom is basically what is found in a regular
35mm camera: When the button is pushed to zoom in or
out, physical lens elements move inside the camera to
achieve the desired effect. Optical zoom lenses actually
“move” you closer to the subject of the photograph. The
higher the optical zoom rating on a camera, the farther
away you can be to take a photograph and still get a
clear, close-up image.
- LCD
Screen
Digital cameras use the LCD screen as a viewfinder by
providing a live video feed of the scene to be captured.
The LCDs normally measure between 1.5" and 2.5"
diagonally (our LCDs measure 2.5 to 3 inches) with
typical resolutions between 120,000 and 240,000 pixels.
- Image
Stabilization
Image Stabilization automatically overcomes shaking or
blurring caused by accidental hand movement, helping you
take clearer, sharper pictures.
- Face
Detection
The camera detects faces in a scene and then
automatically focuses and optimizes exposure for them.
This technology helps when taking pictures of large
groups, when a person is in the distance or when the
subject moves into the frame. Even if a person moves,
the camera will stay focused on the face and adjust
exposure. A person's face must be looking towards the
camera for face-recognition AF/AE to work effectively.
It also works best when taking photos in good light.
- High
ISO
ISO denotes how sensitive the image sensor is to the
amount of light present. The higher the ISO, the more
sensitive the image sensor, which means improved ability
to take pictures in low-light situations. With film
cameras, you have to physically change to a different
roll of film if you want a different ISO speed. Digital
technology allows you to simply dial to another ISO
rating, letting you record images taken at different ISO
speeds on the same memory card.
