Most PowerShot cameras for 2009 feature Canons exclusive DIGIC 4 Image Processor. This new chip paves the way for a host of features including Canons new Smart AUTO. Smart AUTO intelligently selects the proper camera settings based on the specific shooting conditions of each scene, ensuring that all images are accurately focused, exposed, stabilized, and white-balanced before the shutter is even pressed. Using information gathered from Canons Optical Image Stabilization, Face Detection and Motion Detection Technologies, Smart AUTO automatically adjusts a multitude of settings including brightness and hue, during various shooting situations. Another enhancement available with select PowerShot models is Blink Detection Technology, which uses the Face Detection function to display an icon after shooting with a warning that someones eyes were closed (such as when blinking) during shooting.
A third technological advancement with select PowerShot cameras is Active Display, which is used for quickly switching between images during playback. Active Display advances pictures simply with a gentle shake of the wrist. Canon PowerShot SX1 IS and SX200 IS Digital Cameras
