Features for Canon Powershot SX150IS
12x Optical Zoom with 28mm Wide-Angle Lens
The PowerShot SX150 IS features a powerful Genuine Canon 12x Zoom
Lens that delivers outstanding optical performance and versatility.
With precision engineering and decades of leadership in optical
technologies, Canon has created a bright, wide-angle lens that
provides an extraordinary 12x zoom range. The lens starts at 28mm
wide-angle and extends to 336mm telephoto (35mm equivalent), giving
you tremendous coverage and reach. The telephoto end lets you
capture subjects from a considerable distance, while the 28mm
wide-angle makes it easy to shoot sweeping landscapes, large groups
of people and tall buildings. Moreover, this superlative lens
incorporates innovative designs that enable it to fit the compact
profile of the PowerShot SX150 IS and perform at high speed with low
power consumption.
Optical Image Stabilizer
Handheld shooting can often lead to camera shake, making photos and
videos blurry. Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer is a sophisticated
system that uses lens-shift technology to correct for unwanted
camera movement. It makes handheld photography more practical in
more shooting situations, providing excellent image quality in many
difficult situations: outdoors at dusk, inside without a flash, and
even at the telephoto end of the zoom range without a tripod. For
still photos, it enables shooting at slower shutter speeds,
accommodating more low-light shooting situations than ever before
without having to boost ISO sensitivity. With camera shake and
vibration reduced, you get a sharper, steadier image. And because it
is an optical system, there is none of the image degradation typical
with electronic image stabilizers.
14.1 Megapixel Image Sensor
A 14.1 Megapixel sensor delivers beautiful photos with fine detail
and brilliant color. The high resolution ensures superb image
quality even when cropping or making very large prints.
Canon DIGIC 4 Image Processor
Canon DIGIC Image Processors have set the standard for functionality
and performance since their groundbreaking introduction in 1999.
With each successive generation, DIGIC processors have brought
elevated performance and powerful new features to PowerShot digital
cameras. The DIGIC 4 processor has ushered in a new level of picture
quality and accelerated processing, making possible features such as
high-speed continuous shooting, Full HD video and Face Detection
Self-timer. New, more powerful noise reduction algorithms also
provide improved low-light capture.
Smart AUTO
The PowerShot SX150 IS features Smart AUTO - sophisticated Canon
technology that makes getting that great shot as simple as pressing
the shutter button. Smart AUTO automatically detects scenes by
assessing various factors in both the background and the subject.
Detected scenes are analyzed using 32 predefined shooting
situations. The camera then makes optimal settings to ensure the
best possible image capture, whether you're shooting stills or
video. Smart AUTO also includes Advanced Subject Detection, which
allows the camera to detect and track non-human moving subjects like
animals and vehicles. With Smart AUTO, all you have to do is frame
your shot and capture away.
Canon HD Video Advantage
The PowerShot SX150 IS lets you record spectacularly detailed 720p
HD video at 30* frames per second with clear stereo sound. Imagine
the fun and excitement of being able to shoot high definition video
whenever you want, then downloading the videos to your computer to
watch or share with family and friends.
Dedicated Movie Button, Wind Filter
and Optical Zoom While Shooting
It's never been easier to shoot videos with a PowerShot digital
camera. The PowerShot SX150 IS has a dedicated movie button that
lets you start and stop recording instantly. There is no need to go
through layers of menus or operate switches or dials to switch to
and from video recording mode. The camera is always ready to shoot
stills or video whenever you want. The PowerShot SX150 IS also
incorporates an electronic wind filter, which suppresses wind noise
that can muffle or distort the sound. And unlike less sophisticated
point-and-shoot cameras, the PowerShot SX150 IS lets you use the
full 12x range of optical zoom when you're shooting a video without
sacrificing HD video resolution.
iFrame Movie Support
With the PowerShot SX150 IS, you can also shoot video in the Apple
iFrame format, which is a computer-friendly standard that speeds up
importing and editing of videos. It keeps file sizes small, making
it more convenient to upload or e-mail high-quality videos. The
iFrame format enjoys native support in compatible Mac and Windows
video applications, making it unnecessary to perform time-consuming
and often quality-degrading conversions.
Intelligent IS
The latest advance in Canon Optical Image Stabilization technology,
Intelligent IS analyzes camera movement and applies the best shake
correction method for the shooting situation. For stills, the system
automatically selects among Normal, Panning, Macro (Hybrid) and
Tripod IS modes. When shooting video, the system automatically
selects among Dynamic, Powered, Macro and Tripod IS modes. With
Intelligent IS, you can concentrate on image capture, letting the
camera make the most effective IS settings to assure the steadiest
possible image.
Large 3.0-inch LCD
The camera's high-resolution (230,000 dots) 3.0-inch LCD gives you
the big picture, whether you're shooting, reviewing or showing off
your images. This high-resolution screen offers a crisp, clear
picture to make shooting, playback and using the camera's menu
functions especially convenient. Clear and bright, it also features
Night Display for easy viewing in low light.
AA Battery Powered
Recharging batteries can often be an inconvenience, especially when
traveling in foreign countries. With the PowerShot SX150 IS, you'll
never need special power adapters or chargers because it's powered
by two AA batteries that are widely available around the world.
Face Detection Technology
Face Detection technology makes it easy for you to take great photos
of people. The camera will automatically detect the face(s) in a
frame to give it optimal focus, exposure, flash (if needed) and
white balance. Smart Shutter adds fun and convenience to Face
Detection because you can set the camera to release the shutter when
someone winks, smiles or even enters the frame.
Special Scene Modes
Special Scene Modes have fun and creative filters you can add to
your photos without having to use a computer. You can make a quirky
portrait using a Fisheye Lens Effect or add a beautiful single-tone
effect with Monochrome. Toy Camera Effect simulates a vintage look
as if capturing the photo using a "toy" or pinhole camera.
Best Image Selection
Best Image Selection* is an easy way to get great results almost
every time you take a picture. When you press the shutter release,
the camera will rapidly shoot a series of five images, then assess
the images for any unwanted facial movements and camera shake. Out
of the five images, the camera will select and save the best one.
