Features for Canon Powershot G12
HS System with
High-sensitivity 10 MP CCD and DIGIC 4
The HS System is a powerful combination of high-sensitivity sensor
and DIGIC 4 processor providing exceptional low-light shooting
capabilities. Higher ISO reduces the need for flash and allows
faster shutter speeds to reduce blur when the subject is in motion.
28mm wide, 5x zoom lens with Hybrid IS
A high-quality genuine Canon lens covering 28-140mm (35mm
equivalent) allows for flexibility and clarity. The optical Image
Stabilizer corrects camera shake up to 4-stops, while Hybrid IS
gives sharp results when shooting macro.
7.0 cm (2.8") vari-angle LCD, Electronic Level, OVF
The vari-angle PureColor II VA LCD offers superb colour rendition
and contrast and can be adjusted for shooting at awkward angles.
Electronic Level display shows a level indicator on screen to check
the camera is horizontal while an optical viewfinder allows the user
to compose using their own shooting style.
Take Full Control
The PowerShot G12 features Full Manual mode with RAW format giving
the user complete control during post-shot editing; and with support
for Canons Digital Photo Professional (DPP) software, digital SLR
users can integrate the PowerShot G12 into an existing workflow.
HD movies with HDMI
As well as shooting high quality stills, the PowerShot G12 can
capture 720p HD Movies with stereo sound. Results can be played back
with no loss in quality via the HDMI terminal.
High Dynamic Range mode
In high contrast scenes, a conventional digital camera can struggle
to capture detail in shadows and highlights. When placed on a tripod
the High Dynamic Range mode takes multiple exposures of the same
scene and combines them in-camera to capture a high contrast scene
in detail.
Smart Auto
Smart Auto uses Scene Detection Technology to detect the appropriate
scene from a possible 28, to obtain the best result. Smart Flash
Exposure intelligently controls flash power and usage.
Multi-Aspect Shooting
The user can shoot in a range of formats including 3:2, 1:1, 16:9
and 4:5 allowing perfect composition at the time of shooting without
the need to post-process.
Extensive accessory system
The PowerShot G12 supports a range of accessories including a Lens
Filter Adapter which allows the addition of 58mm filters. A hotshoe
allows for the use of Canon Speedlite flashes while a Waterproof
Case allows the user to use the camera underwater up to 40m.
