Each of the models features a 3 inch VGA AMOLED screen.

Full HD video recording is available on the WB850F, while the WB150 and ST200F can capture movies at 720p HD.

The Motion Feature function has also been included, which allows users to keep one element of a normal photograph come to life and keep moving, while the rest of the frame stays still.
