SMART AUTO
Smart Auto with Scene Detection technology makes taking
great pictures easier than ever before. By automatically
detecting people and scene conditions, Smart Auto makes
sure you always get the best possible photo. People can be shot
beautifully – even if they are backlit, moving around or close to the
camera. For night shots where the ash is needed, Smart Auto
changes settings to ensure background detail is retained. It can even
detect if the camera is on a steady surface, such as a tripod, and use
a lower ISO to ensure image quality. When shooting on bright days
with clear skies, the camera adjusts the blue in the sky for the best
possible picture. In bright situations, Smart Auto is able to expand the
image’s dynamic range to suppress blown highlights whilst retaining
detail in shadow areas. On duller days, it can reduce the dynamic
range of a scene to increase contrast. Smart Auto’s continuous AF
is constantly analysing the scene and focusing, so you’ll never miss
the action.
DIGIC PROCESSING
Canon’s DIGIC image processor is the brain inside every
Canon digital camera – working with the image sensor to ensure
optimum image quality and fast operation, as well as powering
intelligent technologies like Face Detection and Motion Detection
Technology. DIGIC 4 is Canon’s most advanced processor yet, offering
near-instant start-up, great detail and low noise (even at high ISOs)
and enhanced movie functionality.

Pioneering technology
Every Canon digital camera features innovative technology and optics refined for over
70 years – to deliver outstanding results every time.

LENS KNOW-HOW
The benets of more than 70 years of lens-
making heritage can be seen in every PowerShot and Digital IXUS
image. Innovative technologies, such as Canon’s UA lens, keep lenses
compact and deliver amazing clarity. Pioneering Canon-developed
technologies like the optical Image Stabilizer (IS) and Ultrasonic Motor
(USM) offer further improvements in image quality and response
times. The straight optical path from lens to sensor in all Canon
cameras ensures the best possible image capture in every shooting
situation. And an extensive range of zooms – covering everything
from 28mm wide imaging to 20x telephoto reach – offers the ultimate
in exible, powerful framing possibilities.
PERFECT PORTRAITS
Face Detection Technology identies the faces in your frame
and optimises settings – such as focus, exposure, ash and
white balance – for great portrait shots. Face detection
can detect small faces as well as faces at an angle or in
prole – so you can get a good shot even if your subjects
are not looking directly towards the camera. In selected models,
Blink Detection warns the user if a subject had their eyes closed in a
photo, so you can reshoot. Face Select and Track allows you to choose
a particular face as your main subject and track it within the frame –
great for shots taken in a crowd. FaceSelf-Timer – which waits until
a new face is detected in the frame before triggering the shutter –
means no more running to get into group shots and self-portraits.
