Other features of the Digimax L85 include three kinds of manual exposure adjustment, a continuous shooting mode for consecutive shots, MPEG-4 video compression for capturing video clips in VGA at 30fps, 11 scene modes, a function for saving customized shooting settings, several special effects functions and 32MB of built-in memory.
