The 5x optical zoom also increases its power to the equivalent of 10x with the iA Zoom (Intelligent Auto Zoom) function with minimum deterioration of image quality thanks to the help of Intelligent Resolution technology.
"They typically had a steel casing, copper for conducting power down them and optical fibres for collecting data, " he said.
Electrical engineers at Stanford University have created nanoscale optical lines that use much less power than the laser connectors found in computers today.
Silicon photonics is a new approach to using light (photons) to move huge amounts of data at very high speeds with extremely low power over a thin optical fiber rather than using electrical signals over a copper cable.

In addition, the Optical Picture (OPC) feature helps save power by using a sensor on the front of the TV to detect ambient room light, and automatically adjusts TV brightness for the best picture.
Running the algorithms to translate the optical sensor info takes a good bit of computing power, however.
Connect and plug in the power adapter and then hook up the optical cable, and it's pretty much ready to go -- save for some pairing woes that required us to unplug everything.
