Like its compact predecessor, the UC5000 was developed for the most competitively priced market. It featured FlexiZone AF/AE for automatic focusing and exposing, while employing such basic features as customizable keys. The addition of a 22x optical zoom lens and Vari-Angle Prism (V.A.P.) optical image stabilizer allowed further increases in shooting range and stability, even for novice users.
