High Image Quality
• 7.1 megapixel CCD for high-resolution images.
• Retractable 4x optical zoom with 4x digital
zoom.
• High ISO 1600 reduces camera shake and
blurring of fast-moving subjects even in
low-light condition.

the subject on LCD to improve visibility.
• Powered by Canon proprietary DIGIC III Imaging
Processor for high-definition images with
natural colour reproduction and razor sharp
clarity at accelerated processing speed, even
under high ISO shooting.

Face Detection Technology
• Incorporates the Face Detection AF, Face
Detection AE and Face Detection FE, which work
hand-in-hand to capture stunning photos of
subjects’ faces with sharpness and right
exposure easily.
- Face Detection AF: Detects as many as 9
subjects’ faces in a picture. If no faces are
detected the AF system automatically switched to
the conventional 9-point AiAF setting.
- Face Detection AE: Focus and exposure are
controlled and set correctly for capturing the
human face so that the subject’s best expression
is not missed.
- Face Detection FE: Flash brightness and
exposure automatically adjusted to ideal levels
- Enables Red eye correction during playback
NEW ISO 1600

camera shake eliminated
