Overview
Seize precious moments in 4K with the Canon PowerShot SX70 HS Digital Camera. Its integrated lens offers 65× optical zoom that lets you capture images of craters on the moon. The camera uses the 20.3 MP CMOS sensor with the upgraded DIGIC 8 image processor to render high-resolution images and videos. Along with the 4K video, you can also take time-lapse sequences in 4K. The continuous shooting mode captures burst photos at a speed of 10 fps. With the Zoom Framing Assist function, you can easily trace the subject if it goes out of the frame when working on a telephoto focal length. The EOS-like interface makes it easy to familiarize with the controls. You can share images to smartphones by enabling the built Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
Optics and Focus
The Canon PowerShot SX70 HS camera has an integrated zoom lens that let you take images of vast landscapes and close-up shots of distant subjects. This built-in lens provides an optical zoom of 65× that is ideal for sports and wildlife photography. With the zoom framing assist function, you can quickly locate the subject when working on a telephoto focal length. The image stabilization function ensures 5 stops of reduction in shutter speed to minimize the appearance of camera shakes.
Sensor and Screen
This Canon digital camera produces sharp image quality with vivid colors using the 20.3 MP CMOS sensor. For image composition, the PowerShot SX70 HS provides a rear LCD that supports both video and image capture. You may also use the 2.36m-dot OLED electronic viewfinder to compose the scene. The EVF also allows you to see the effects of exposure live to ensure accuracy.
Image and Video
The camera takes high-resolution stills in 20 MP. In the video mode, the camera provides UHD 4K imagery that lets you give a cinematic feel to your projects. You may also capture time-lapses in 4K as well. The 10 fps continuous shooting mode is useful when taking photos of a fast-paced action during a sports event and wildlife photography. Both the continuous shooting and 4K video modes are complemented by the DIGIC 8 image processor that speeds up the camera performance to minimize lag.
Other Features
The built-in Wi-Fi or Bluetooth can be used to send images to smartphones via the Canon Camera Connect app for sharing them on social media directly. The Canon PowerShot SX70 HS camera functions on an LP-E12 Li-ion battery pack that is provided in the kit. You also receive an LC-E12 battery charger for recharging the included battery. The provided lens cap protects the front element of the built-in lens from dust, moisture, and scratches.
