Limitations

It lacks built-in video recording capabilities, restricting multimedia functionality. The camera’s continuous shooting speed of approximately 5 frames per second is slower than some competitors introduced afterward. Its LCD screen is fixed and lacks touchscreen capabilities, reducing ease of use in certain scenarios. The absence of built-in Wi-Fi or modern connectivity options limits file transfer convenience.
