Overview

This camera has features including a 10.0 Megapixel, 1/2.3-inch CCD, DIGIC III Image Processor, 3x optical zoom lens with a shift-type optical Image Stabilizer (IS) system and 2.5-inch LCD monitor with wide viewing angle. It uses new compact, high capacity Battery Pack NB-6L to shoot up to approx. 300 images (based on the CIPA standard when the LCD monitor is on), and SD memory cards, SDHC memory cards, MultiMediaCards, MMCplus cards and HC MMCplus cards for the recording media. Images are utilized with a direct print compatible printer, computer and TV via Hi-Speed USB. The dimensions (excluding protrusions) of the main body are 86.0 x 54.0 x 20.4 mm (3.4 x 2.1 x 0.8 in.) and the weight is approximately 130 g (4.6 oz.).

3. Motion Detection Technology

Canon's new advanced “Motion Detection Technology” detects camera shake, brightness of subject and background, and movement of face and subject. By consolidating and analyzing these parameters, it adjusts the intelligent ISO speed that reduces the effects of camera shake and subject movement.

4. Print List

You can add images directly to a print list by merely pressing the Print/Share button immediately after shooting or playing back an image. You can then print the images from the print list easily, when connecting the camera to a printer.
