You can also record 30 fps films, which you can save to the supported microSD Duo storage area cards.
On the technology side, the S980 includes a pared-down selection of Sony's reasonable features, but offers enough to keep the casual photographer contented. Steady Shot digital image stabilization, six pre-programmed scene modes, and face recognition technology round out any S980's tech profile. A few in-camera retouching options are also available, including image cropping and red-eye correction.
On the back of the camera is really a zoom rocker, the six-selection mode dial, a menu switch for accessing contextual functions, and a four-way directional pad for navigating the on-screen screen. The four main directions on the circular pad also offer one-press access to the LCD screen settings, the flash, the self-timer, and the macro mode. Below that are two more dedicated links, to activate playback as well as delete photos. The battery and Random access memory Stick slot are covered under a door on the bottom of the cameras.
