Powershot SX210 IS Major Features
|
14.1
Megapixels and 28mm wide-angle 14x zoom lens:
The Powershot SX210 IS camera's 14.1 Megapixel sensor and 28mm wide-angle
lens make it great for capturing sweeping landscapes in high resolution,
while its powerful 14x optical zoom provides a 392mm maximum equivalent
focal length, allowing users to frame distant subjects with ease.
Optical
Image Stabilizer:
Canon’s optical Image Stabilizer technology prevents image blur
by reducing the effects of camera shake. The SX210 IS offers up to 4
stop compensation allowing for extended handheld shooting under lower
light conditions or with the zoom set to telephoto.
Dynamic optical Image Stabilizer (Dynamic IS):
Dynamic optical Image Stabilizer is a technology which was initially
developed for Canon video cameras and is now being incorporated for
the first time into a Canon digital still camera. It is designed to
counter blur and camera shake (caused by user movement when shooting
video) more effectively. Dynamic IS can assess and compensate for low
frequency vibrations, such as camera shake generated when filming and
walking, and helps produce video sequences with reduced blurriness and
a steadier picture.
3.0-inch
PureColor II G LCD:
A new 3.0-inch widescreen PureColor II G LCD featuring 230,000-dot resolution,
and a tempered glass design. The PureColor II G LCD found on the Powershot
SX210 IS offers increased strength, and its thin construction provides
higher contrast and improved visibility in shooting and playback. Wide
viewing angles make it easy to share images with friends immediately after
capture, while the 16:9 aspect ratio is ideal for capturing and viewing
HD video.
High
Definition Movies:
Users can capture quality HD video on demand, thanks to a dedicated movie
record button that allows them to immediately start shooting movies, even
if the camera is not set to Movie mode. Create HD 720p movies with stereo
sound, then use the integrated HDMI port to connect to a compatible HDTV.
|
Effortless
Shooting:
Smart Auto and Easy shooting modes use Scene Detection Technology
to determine subject brightness, contrast, distance and hue. The
camera then selects the appropriate scene from a possible 22, and
applies optimal settings.
Smart Flash Exposure
intelligently controls flash power and usage to ensure natural results
in a variety of conditions.
Complete
creative control:
The PowerShot SX210 IS offers full manual control over camera settings,
allowing users to get more creative with their pictures.
|
|
 |
Aperture, shutter speed,
ISO and focusing can all be controlled manually, enabling users to experiment
with their images and develop their photographic skills.
New and creative shooting
modes also make photography fun for beginners. A new Fish-eye Effect mimics
the distortion of a fish-eye lens, while a Miniature Effect can make subjects
look like miniature-scale models. For users that just want to point and
shoot, Easy Mode is a truly automatic feature – disabling access
to advanced settings and removing screen icons so users can concentrate
solely on the subject they want to shoot.
Easy mode offers intelligent
picture taking without added complexity - providing the simplest point
and shoot mode for beginners. In Easy mode, Smart Auto is active, selecting
the optimum settings for the best results in each type of scene. However,
most on-screen data is cleared in order to facilitate framing and most
of the function buttons are disabled to prevent accidental use.
Smart
Flash Exposure: The
Smart Flash Exposure feature intelligently controls the power and usage
of the
onboard flash to ensure natural results in a variety of conditions. By
using focusing distance as well as shooting scene information, an optimum
balance between the ambient light of the scene and flash power is achieved.
When shooting in very bright conditions, shadows which can appear on a
subject’s face are detected by the camera
and flash can be used to eliminate them. When shooting at close distances,
overexposure is avoided by sensing how reflective the subject is, as well
as reducing the flash power to compensate for the close shooting distance.
Smart
Auto in Movie mode:
The PowerShot SX210 IS is the first Canon digital still camera to feature
Smart Auto in Movie mode, which enables video settings to change automatically
whilst recording. The camera assesses the scene while filming and as the
shooting subject changes, for example if a face enters the frame, it will
adapt its settings; in this instance switching to Portrait mode. Smart
Auto in Movie allows the camera to automatically detect and choose from
18 different scenes, optimising the camera settings to produce the best
possible result.
Face
Detection Technology:
A suite of Face Detection technologies detects up to 35 faces in a scene
and adjusts focus, exposure, flash settings and white balance for natural-looking
results.
Face Detection AF:
Sets the focus on faces in people shots – not just the closest
subject.
Face Detection AE:
Optimises exposure for faces in all lighting conditions – useful
for backlit scenes or indoor shooting.
Face Detection FE:
Guards against washed-out faces when using the camera’s flash –
perfect for close-up shots in restaurants, clubs or other dimly lit
locations.
Face Detection WB:
Optimises white balance for natural-looking skin tones which remain
true to life regardless of skin colour and lighting conditions.
Face Select and Track:
Allows users to select one of the faces in a group to be given priority
over the rest. The camera will then keep this face in focus and optimise
settings for the best shot - ensuring the user can shoot the right moment
and be sure of excellent results.
Red-Eye Correction:
Eliminates the unwanted effects of flash photography. At the touch of
a button in playback natural-looking eyes can be instantly restored.
The original image can then be replaced or the corrected image saved
as a new file.
Servo
AF/AE: When
a subject is moving towards or away from the SX210 IS, Servo AF/AE will
track it continuously - ensuring that the subject will be in focus and
well-exposed at the moment of capture.
Smart
Shutter: The
Canon Powershot SX210 IS Smart Shutter mode uses Face Detection Technology
to allow users to take both group shots and self-portraits more easily
and in a more relaxed way. The shutter can be triggered remotely in three
different ways:
FaceSelf-Timer: Allows
perfect group shots or self portraits by automatically triggering the
shutter 2 seconds after a new face has entered the frame.
Smile Detection: Triggers
the shutter when the camera detects a smiling face within the frame.
Wink Self-Timer: Triggers
the shutter two seconds after the subject in the frame has winked, removing
the need for a remote control.
Auto
ISO with Motion Detection Technology: Auto
ISO mode, using Motion Detection Technology, calculates the movement of
camera and subject as well as the speed at which the motion occurs. ISO
sensitivity and shutter speed are then automatically adjusted to deliver
minimum blur and maximum image quality in any situation.
i-Contrast:
i-Contrast technology optimises the dynamic range (brightness variation)
of each shot by reducing underexposure (hidden detail in dark areas) and
overexposure (washed out highlights). i-Contrast can be used both in shooting
and playback mode.
Included
Accessories: The Canon SX210 IS comes supplied with a Lithium-ion
NB-5L battery
and charger CB-2LX, Wrist Strap WS-DC9, Digital Camera Solution CD-ROM,
USB Interface Cable IFC-400PCU, AV Cable AVC-DC400ST (HDMI cable is optional)
Never
stop shooting with SDXC memory: The
PowerShot SX210 IS is compatible with SDHC and SDXC memory cards offering
up to 2TB (SDXC only) of storage capacity, providing users with enough
space to shoot thousands of high quality images or hours of video without
needing to change cards. Smart Shuffle function offers a new and enjoyable
way to browse photos stored on memory cards, presenting suggestions of
pictures similar to the one that is being viewed.
Power
Source: Lithium-ion
Battery Pack NB-5L and Battery Charger CB-2LX supplied. Approximately
260 shots per battery charge.
YouTube™
