This feature is unique to EX-10 and no other camera in the world has this cool feature yet. Sometimes if you only have five seconds to get your shot right, intelligent bracketing mode will come in very handy to accomplish your task in time, just like a pro. Even if you are not a good photographer, this mode will definitely help you be a better one, by giving you preset options suitable for different scenarios. Once a preset option is chosen, just hit the trigger and the camera will take multiple shots with different settings for each shot and you are bound to get a good shot in this mode. You no longer need to waste time scrambling through the settings, shoot then adjust settings to get the right shot.
Once you get the hang of choosing the right variables to use for your shots, its easy to achieve stunning pictures without much effort and in a snap. The variables include Shutter Speed, Aperture, White Balance, Exposure, Saturation, Contrast and even Focus Points.

Time-Lapse Video
With the EX-10, it is so easy to create a timelapse video even if you are trying it for the first time.

But with preset modes like clouds, sunset, nightscape and many more, a novice will be able to get it right at the first try.
Makeup Mode
Doesn’t matter if you are a male or female, all genders will enjoy the makeup mode especially during days when you look tired and exhausted.
