The Canon zoom incorporated into the camera’s body offers a variable focal length of 4.5–54.0mm and an aperture of f/3.6–f/7. In addition, the high-sensitivity 20.2 MP CMOS sensor offers exceptional quality. Thanks to the DIGIC 4+ image processor, this digital camera records Full HD videos at 30 fps and facilitates continuous shooting at 7.2 fps. The 3-inch LCD screen provides a resolution of 461K dots when you are shooting your subject. You can transfer pictures to smartphones or tablets over NFC-enabled Wi-Fi. The camera functions on an 800 mAh NB-11LH rechargeable Li-ion battery.
Optics and Focus
The camera is equipped with a Canon 12× optical zoom lens that gives a 35mm equivalent focal length range and a maximum aperture of f/3.6. This camera incorporates an Intelligent IS image stabilization system that reduces the impact of shakes. Dynamic and Powered IS respectively correct camera and hand movements, while Macro IS compensates for shift-type shakes during close-ups. Moreover, the active tripod IS ensures smooth images by minimizing shakes while you are shooting with a tripod. The camera captures stable images of fast moving objects with a maximum shutter speed of 1/2000th of a second. You can vary the ISO sensitivity of the camera from 80 to 3200 depending on the lighting conditions.
Sensor and Screen
The 20.2 MP CMOS sensor provides high-quality images with vivid colors. With the 3-inch touchscreen LCD, you get 100% frame coverage. You can also review the captured images or navigate through different camera settings on the LCD.
Image and Video
The Canon Powershot digital camera captures crystal-clear JPEG images with a maximum resolution of 5184×3888 dpi. This camera also has a movie mode that records 1080p videos at 30 fps. In the continuous shooting mode, the camera can click 5 MP stills at 7.2 fps and 20.2 MP stills in 2.5 fps. The Creative Shot mode produces unique images by utilizing a range of compositional, color, and lighting elements from an original image.
Other Features
The camera supports NFC-enabled Wi-Fi to help you transfer photos to your smartphone and tablet. The built-in flash is effective up to 4m. Hybrid Auto records a 4-second video prior to image capture and then combines the still shot and video to create a video recap. You can enable the Story Highlights option to create a reel comprising photos and videos with background music. The camera features a self-timer, which can be set to 2 to 10 seconds, to allow you to become part of your family picture. This camera supports connectivity options such as HDMI and USB 2.0.
