Creating a digital image is a straightforward process. Creating a digital image

that captures your vision and intent is anything but. Properly executed focus
brilliantly intense yet natural color delicately rendered density and contrast

PowerShot G9

Over the decades, Canons proprietary technologies

have attained a level of sophistication unmatched
in the industry, and today, Canon cameras
for every budget and use include technology that
helps make you a better photographer. Group
shots take a giant leap forward with Canons
Face Detection Technology*, which finds and focuses
the faces in a scene, then precisely calibrates
exposure for the faces and background while
simultaneously adjusting the flash. New models
even let you focus and track a single face within
a group. Canons Optical Image Stabilizer delivers
sharp shots even in low light and at long focal
lengths. RAW mode is now available on the
PowerShot G9, giving photographers the widest
possible creative latitude in processing images.
iSAPS uses advanced prediction algorithms
based on Canons nearly seven decades of collected
data to optimize automatic focus, exposure and
white balance for any given scene.

CANON LENS TECHNOLOGY

Ceramic ball support system provides

Canons sophisticated Optical Image

Stabilizer technology uses miniature
gyroscopic sensors to detect motion
and generate a corrective signal.
An image stabilizing lens group along
the optical axis is shifted in response
to the detected motion, providing
effective cancellation of unwanted
lens movement and vibration. The
Compact, highly accurate OIS unit
benefits are obvious and enormous:
in still photography, the camera can now be handheld at slower
shutter speeds without resulting in blurred images. Handheld
video footage is smoother free of the unsteadiness that can
make viewing home movies tiresome.

lenses are subjected to
numerous fine adjustments in the assembly
process. UA Lens

minimizes color fringing, image smearing, ghosting and flare,
while keeping camera designs extraordinarily compact.
The benefits are dramatic: clear, bright images captured with
outstanding contrast throughout the zoom range.

X III IMAGE PROCESSOR*

Technologies

X III Features
ISO 1600*

X III is the third generation of Canon's exclusive DIGIC Image

Processor. X III yields brilliant colors, smooth gradations, and
responsive performance, while powering a host of new features
found in the latest digital cameras: Canon Face Detection AF/AE/FE,
Noise Reduction, and ISO 1600, and more.

Canons highly advanced X III Image Processor enables a range of

ISO equivalent settings from 80 to 1600, achieving excellent image
quality under darker conditions without a flash. With camera shake
greatly reduced, photographers can shoot high quality images in many
more situations. On the PowerShot G9 and G7, ISO settings are quickly
accessible from a dedicated control dial.

RAW MODE*
By recording images without processing them in any way, the PowerShot
G9s RAW Mode gives you complete creative control in editing. RAW
images are transferred directly to the computer without processing, where
they can then be edited using image adjustment software or processing
application to create your images as you want.

Noise Reduction OFF

Experienced photographers know that high ISO speeds can coincide with
increased levels of noise: aberrant or stray signals that degrade image
quality. With Canons exclusive X III Image Processor, there is no need
for compromise. X III offers a major boost in noise reduction signal
processing to compensate for the higher ISO settings it enables.

Face Detection Technology

FACE DETECTION TECHNOLOGY
Cameras equipped with the X III Image Processor feature
Face Detection AF/AE/FE. Face Detection tracks and finds faces
automatically. When the shutter button is pressed halfway, it
focuses and meters to provide proper illumination of both the
faces and the overall scene, and to provide flash that is correctly
adjusted for the location of the faces.

FACE DETECTION AF/AE/FE*

FACE SELECTOR BUTTON*

Select a face in the frame and then lock-on by
pressing the Face Selector Button. Your camera
will now track your subject wherever they move in
your viewfinder and focus and expose according
to that face. Perfect for any situation where you
want to follow a single subject in a crowd.
With Face Detection

Without Face Detection

Face Detection AF finds faces, tracks them as you frame your shot,
then delivers perfect focus. New models let you select, track and
focus a single face within a group. The new SX100 IS is equipped
with a Face Selector Button to operate this feature easily.

Face Selector AF* enables focusing on a specific face only. The

selected face is double-framed and tracked when the face moves
in the frame.

Face Detection AE makes all your group shots better by properly

illuminating both the faces and the background areas.

IMAGE RESIZING*

MOVIE RECORDING WITH STEREO SOUND*

The ability to resize images to a variety of sizes (1600 x 1200,

640 x 480, 320 x 240) in camera means your images are ready
to be sent via email or uploaded to your blog the instant you
upload them to your computer; no editing at your computer is
necessary. Resizing also creates more space on your memory
card so you can shoot more images.

HIGH-SPEED AF/AE/AWB DURING MOVIE CAPTURE*

All PowerShot cameras enable

editing of recorded movie clips,
including deletions from the beginning
and/or end of scenes. Playback
mode offers convenient navigation
options. Models with Enhanced
Movie Playback UI can display
playback time, a progress bar and
recording time on the LCD screen.

Track playback time, progress and

recording time right on the LCD monitor.

Some PowerShot digital cameras adjust AF, AE and AWB automatically

during movie recording. Photo Effects including Sepia and Black and
White can be use to enhance creativity. Users have complete access to
zoom, exposure compensation, AE Lock and AF Lock functions while
recording movies. The PowerShot S5 IS and TX1 automatically
detects and brings faces into focus during movie recording.

Smooth, high quality movie clips can

be captured at full VGA resolution

AF Frame Size Modification brings a new level of control to
PowerShot digital cameras.

Spot Metering

Advanced photographers can select one of three light-metering

modes: evaluative metering, center-weighted average metering, or
spot metering. The spot metering mode enables the measurement
to be tied to the AF point or fixed at the center of the frame.

* Not on all models.

In general, sensitivity should be set to the lowest level the ambient light allows, yet too low a setting can cause camera blurry
photos. PowerShot cameras with Auto ISO Shift provide options
when shooting to prevent unsatisfactory images. In addition to
allowing the user to trigger when the ISO can be changed, Auto
ISO Shift now can automatically adjust sensitivity for the given
light while notifying the photographer.

After focusing the camera in manual mode, simply depress

the shutter button half-way and the camera will automatically
perform a fine adjustment for perfect focus. Safety MF can also
be disabled for complete manual control.

FINE PRINT HEAD TECHNOLOGY

ETHERNET CONNECTIVITY

Canons high-precision FINE (Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle

Engineering) print heads each have thousands of nozzles designed
to release microscopic ink droplets as small as 1-picoliter in a
single pass, resulting in fast, high-resolution printing. Capable of
plotting thousands of ink droplets each second, Canon print
heads are engineered using a photo-lithographic
process that produces incredibly high-precision
output and equally incredible prints.

Select PIXMA photo and office printers can be connected to a

home network via a built-in Ethernet port, allowing multiple users
blazing fast access to an all-in-one solution to printing, copying
and scanning.

Photos printed with inks based on the ChromaLife100 System

have a 100-year print life* when kept in albums, and when these
inks are combined with Canon genuine photo media, prints will
maintain 30-year light fastness and 10-year gas fastness. This
advantage is achieved without compromising print quality or speed.
