What are the features and how will they benefit you? |
|
12.1 Megapixel – delivers photo quality prints up to A2 size.
DIG!C IV - Canon's newest processor gives you clearer images with more vibrant colours, fast start-up time, super-fast image processing, and low power consumption.
Optical Image Stabilisation - counteracts blurred images due to shaky hands or when shooting in low-light conditions. Also important at full zoom where a small movement of the hand can cause a lot of movement at the other end.
ISO to 3200 - this will help you take better photos in low lighting – reduces blur caused by camera shake.
Intelligent Auto - New Auto mode with Scene Detection, Face Detection, Motion Detection and Noise Reduction makes it even easier to get the perfect shot.
Face Detection – focuses and sets correct exposure on faces rather than other objects that may appear in the frame.
Blink Detection – gives warning signal when detecting closed eyes in the photo just taken.
Red-eye Correction – Automatically fixes red-eye in-camera. Great if you are printing directly from the camera or memory card.
Motion Detection - Analyses subject movement and adjusts image capture settings to freeze the action.
3.0” Wide LCD - PureColor II LCD screen with wide viewing angle to easily view your photos with others.
HDMI Output – easily view your HD movies in all their glory on a High Definition TV using the HTC-100 mini-HDMI to HDMI cable (sold separately). No messing around with separate audio & video cables. |
