A Smarter Camera Means Better Photos and Videos
-----------------------------------------------
Smart AUTO
----------
The Power SX170 IS camera features Smart AUTO: sophisticated
Canon technology that makes getting that great as simple as
pressing the shutter button. Smart AUTO automatically detects
scenes by assessing various factors in both the background and
the subject. Detected scenes are analyzed using 32 predefined
shooting situations. The camera then makes optimal settings to
ensure the best possible image capture, whether you're shooting
stills or video. Smart AUTO also includes Advanced Subject
Detection, which allows the camera to detect and track non-human
moving subjects like animals and vehicles. With Smart AUTO, all
you have to do is frame your and capture away.
Faster Focus Helps You Capture Every
-----------------------------------------
High Speed AF
-------------
The Power SX170 IS camera is equipped with Canon's latest
advancements in autofocus (AF) technology. Working on multiple
fronts, Canon has developed AF that is significantly faster than
on previous models, for a shooting experience that's spontaneous
and natural. The extremely responsive High Speed AF lets you
capture great s as they happen, with reduced lag time.
Several engineering breakthroughs contributed to this major
enhancement to speed. In addition to improved AF algorithms, the
camera can process multiple sequences simultaneously, and takes
advantage of reworked controls between AF and the start of
shooting.
A Steady Image Is a Beautiful Image
-----------------------------------
Intelligent IS
--------------
The latest advance in Canon Optical Image Stabilization
technology, Intelligent IS, analyzes camera movement and applies
the best shake correction method for the shooting situation. For
stills, the system automatically selects among Normal, Panning,
Macro (Hybrid) and Tripod IS modes. When shooting video, the
system automatically selects among Dynamic, Powered, Macro and
Tripod IS modes. With Intelligent IS, you can concentrate on
image capture, letting the camera make the most effective IS
settings to help capture the steadiest possible image.
Normal Corrects for a wide range of camera movement when shooting
stills. Panning Panning motion is detected so that IS does not
interfere with desired camera movement. Macro (Hybrid) Corrects
for shift-type camera shake, which typically occurs in macro
(close-up) shooting. Dynamic Effective for video shooting at
wide-angle focal lengths, eliminating the unwanted shaking that
typically occurs while walking. Powered Compensates for hand
movement when shooting video at the telephoto end of the zoom
range, where camera shake is magnified. Tripod When tripod use is
detected, the Image Stabilizer is stopped because it is not
needed.
See What You're Shooting on a Clear, Big Screen
