WHITE BALANCE
Canon iSAPS Technology ensures fast, accurate,
automatic white balance compensation.
PowerShot cameras also let you select from preset
modes covering common lighting conditions
including daylight, cloudy, tungsten, fluorescent,
flash, or underwater. You can even perform
a manual white balance adjustment using
a white reference target, storing the measurement
as a custom setting for later recall.
Daylight: For shooting outdoors on sunny days.
Cloudy: For shooting outdoors on cloudy days.
Tungsten: Provides a good balance with
photofloods or incandescent household lights.
Fluorescent: Compensates for the greenish cast
caused by common fluorescent tubes.
Fluorescent H: For recording under daylight fluo-
rescent lighting.
Flash: A good starting point with many studio strobes.
Underwater*: For shooting underwater with a
camera protected by an optional Waterproof Case.

SAFETY ZOOM
Set a minimum acceptable megapixel count for
images taken when using the digital zoom, and
Safety Zoom will let you make optimal use of
the digital zoom range. The zoom pauses at the
end of your preset safety range, rather than at
the end of the optical zoom range.
DIGITAL TELE CONVERTER
The digital tele converter feature lets you shoot
subjects at great distances without mounting a
separate tele converter lens. Simply select one
of two magnification levels from the menu.

setting. Imagescaptured in Widescreenhave a 16:9 aspect
ratio, so you'llsee no warping or cropping when viewing
them on widescreen televisions or computer monitors.

Movie & Sound Recording
FULL HD MOVIES
The Canon PowerShot SX1 IS with Full HD
movie gives you the ultimate convenience of
owning an advanced still camera that also
creates superb movies. Full HD
with 1920 x 1080 pixels captures
your memories with dazzling clarity,
realism and brilliance.
VGA MOVIE RECORDING
All PowerShot cameras offer smooth 30 fps,
high quality movie clips captured in VGA (640 x
480). Some models also have VGA LP mode or
QVGA mode (320 x 240). Zoom and exposure
compensation continue to work on both stills
and movies as does Face Detection AF/AE/FE/WB.
And with the PowerShot SX1 IS and SX10 IS,
you can shoot video with stereo sound. Several
PowerShot models use MOV files, resulting in
smaller file sizes while retaining all their startling
detail and sparkling color.
TIME LAPSE MOVIES*
Time Lapse mode mimics the effect of time-lapse
photography. Clips are recorded at one or two fps,
then played back at 15 fps for a fascinating effect.
MOVIESNAP*
Great shots can happen at any time, even while
you're recording a movie. The SX10 IS's
MovieSnap lets you capture a special moment
as a high-resolution still image while simulta-
neously shooting a movie: simply press the
shutter button down fully. The camera will
record the image at
the same resolution
and compression
rate you've previ-
ously selected.
LCD/Playback Features
PURECOLOR LCD/PURECOLOR LCD II*
A color filter in the durable, scratch-resistant
LCD screen expands the color range for a sharp
and vivid display. Canon's second-generation
PureColor LCD II offers spectacular color,
resolution and contrast, all visible even at
an angle. The screen makes it easy to gather
friends and family around to see your images.

COATING FOR LCD SCREENS
& WIDE VIEWING ANGLE*
Many PowerShot models with 2.5-inch to
3.0-inch LCD screens now have an extra measure
of durability: a stain-, dust-, scratch-, and
fingerprint-resistant coating on the LCD screen.
In addition, the top and bottom edges have an
anti-reflective coating for clear visibility even in
strong sunlight. Images and menu text are all
easier to see and work with. Select PowerShot
models have an anti-reflective coating on the
surface of the LCD so images are vivid even
from wide angles. This Wide Viewing Angle
feature makes it easy to show your images to
a group of family, friends or colleagues.
* Not on all models.
PowerShot Technology
VARI-ANGLE LCD SCREEN*
The screen conveniently flips out, allowing you
to tilt the LCD up or down to minimize reflections
or compose at unusual shooting angles. Rotate
forward for perfectly framed self-portraits.

adjustments on subsequent shots.

SD990 IS digital cameras feature Real-Time

of the scene in real time during shooting.
