PowerShot SD960 IS Highlights
12.1-megapixel resolution, 4x optical zoom lens with Optical Image Stabilizer
Canon’s commitment to innovation defines the excitement of the PowerShot SD960
IS Digital ELPH. 12.1-megapixel resolution is more than a number, it’s your
cutting-edge link to the outstanding clarity and quality you’ve always wanted in
your images. Think bold and big, because razor-sharp, oversized prints are a
breeze. And think way beyond the typical picture format thanks to the 28mm
wide-angle lens with 4x optical zoom. Get the picture? It’s absolutely
brilliant.
The PowerShot SD960 IS Digital ELPH is equipped with Canon’s acclaimed Optical
Image Stabilizer Technology that automatically detects and corrects camera
shake--one of the leading causes of fuzzy or blurred shots. Even when zoomed in,
you can get the steady, crisp, brilliant images you’ll be proud to shoot and
share. And Canon’s Optical Image Stabilizer Technology is so convenient to use.
It functions perfectly with or without a flash.
HD movie shooting capability plus HDMI output
The PowerShot SD960 IS Digital ELPH lets you record video in beautiful high
definition (1280 x 720 pixels). The camera also makes it easy to enjoy HD movies
(and still photos) on your HDTV with a mini-HDMI connector for direct connection
to a high-definition monitor. You’ll enjoy the HD experience with no degradation
of image or audio in the signal, plus the ability to display up to 130 still
images at once.
Widescreen 2.8-inch PureColor LCD II and wide viewing angle
The PowerShot SD960 IS Digital ELPH gives you a large and wide 2.8-inch LCD
screen for excellent control when framing your shots. Canon’s PureColor LCD II
offers spectacular color, resolution and contrast even when viewed at an angle.
The screen is highly durable and easy to see in any light with a
scratch-resistant, anti-reflective coating. It also features Night Display for
easy viewing in low light--a perfect feature for gathering friends and family
around to see your images.
Smart AUTO intelligently selects the proper settings
Just set the Canon PowerShot SD960 IS Digital ELPH to Smart AUTO and you’re
ready for maximum enjoyment from your picture taking every time. It’s a relaxing
and satisfying way to shoot because you can completely concentrate on your
subject knowing that the camera has the technical details covered. Advanced
Canon technology intelligently analyzes your situation and shooting conditions.
Then it automatically selects an appropriate setting from 18 specially defined
settings. So whether you’re photographing flowers, a captivating sunset, or your
friends at the park, you can be confident that you’re getting dramatic,
memorable images.
Shooting Modes
Advanced presets for the best possible photos under certain conditions. With 20
Shooting Modes, you’re ready for whatever shot comes your way.
New Active display technology for quickly switching between images
Active Display is a fun new feature powered by an accelerometer built into the
PowerShot SD960 IS Digital ELPH. When browsing through your images in playback,
just give the camera a quick shake to advance or return images one frame at a
time. Tilting the camera will activate continuous image advance, and tilting at
a further angle will make the images advance more quickly.
A World of Advantages with Canon’s Technology
DIGIC 4 image processor has evolved Face Detection Technology that tracks the
faces of moving subjects and lets the shooter enter the frame seamlessly with
the Face Detection Self-Timer.
DIGIC 4 Image Processor
Canon’s most advanced image processor, DIGIC 4, delivers evolved Face Detection
Technology that keeps every face in every photo looking its very best. The
technology finds and tracks the faces of moving subjects until you’re ready to
shoot, then delivers perfect focus. In addition, exposure, flash and white
balance are compensated, so that faces exhibit natural skin tones and
backgrounds are properly exposed.
iSAPS Technology is an entirely original scene-recognition technology
developed for digital cameras by Canon. Using an internal database of thousands
of different photos, iSAPS works with the advanced DIGIC 4 Image Processor to
improve focus speed and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance.
A Face Detection Self-Timer automatically detects an increase in the
number of faces and makes the appropriate adjustments. For instance, to include
the photographer’s face in a group shot, there’s no need to rush in. Just put
the camera on a stand or tripod, specify Face Detection Self-Timer, and the
camera will wait for the photographer’s face to get on-camera before it takes
the shot. Motion Detection tracks moving subjects in a much larger range, and
the Servo AF retains focus on a moving subject after the shutter button is
pressed halfway--allowing you to wait for the perfect shot without refocusing.
Intelligent Contrast Correction
DIGIC 4 also makes possible the i-Contrast (Intelligent Contrast Correction)
system, which controls the compensation level in pixel units to brighten dark
areas while leaving bright areas unchanged for better images where the main
subject is dark, and more natural transition. The PowerShot SD960 IS Digital
ELPH can even use i-Contrast in playback mode to adjust images that were shot
without the setting activated.
Red-eye Correction provides three options for removing red-eye from
subjects in flash pictures. 1) Red-eye Correction during shooting actually
identifies and corrects red-eye in human subjects as pictures are taken. 2) The
PowerShot SD960 IS Digital ELPH can be set to automatically detect and correct
red-eye during image playback. 3) You can manually locate any red eyes in a
scene during image playback on the LCD screen, and command the camera to remove
them.
Life doesn’t give you second chances to capture special times. That’s why the
PowerShot SD960 IS Digital ELPH features an ISO 1600 setting that reduces the
effects of camera shake and sharpens subjects in low-light situations, giving
you greater shooting flexibility. ISO can be expanded to 3200 when you select
ISO 3200 Special Scene mode.
