Description
HS System with High-sensitivity 10 MP CCD and DIGIC
4
The HS System is a powerful combination of
high-sensitivity sensor and DIGIC 4 processor – providing
exceptional low-light shooting capabilities. Higher ISO reduces the
need for flash and allows faster shutter speeds to reduce blur when
the subject is in motion.
28mm wide, 5x zoom lens with Hybrid IS
A
high-quality genuine Canon lens covering 28-140mm (35mm equivalent)
allows for flexibility and clarity. The optical Image Stabilizer
corrects camera shake up to 4-stops, while Hybrid IS gives sharp
results when shooting macro.
7.0 cm (2.8") vari-angle LCD, Electronic Level,
OVF
The vari-angle PureColor II VA LCD offers superb
colour rendition and contrast and can be adjusted for shooting at
awkward angles. Electronic Level display shows a level indicator on
screen to check the camera is horizontal while an optical
viewfinder allows the user to compose using their own shooting
style.
Take Full Control
The PowerShot G12 features
Full Manual mode with RAW format giving the user complete control
during post-shot editing; and with support for Canon’s Digital
Photo Professional (DPP) software, digital SLR users can integrate
the PowerShot G12 into an existing workflow.
HD movies with HDMI
As well as shooting high
quality stills, the PowerShot G12 can capture 720p HD Movies with
stereo sound. Results can be played back with no loss in quality
via the HDMI terminal.
High Dynamic Range mode
In high contrast
scenes, a conventional digital camera can struggle to capture
detail in shadows and highlights. When placed on a tripod the High
Dynamic Range mode takes multiple exposures of the same scene and
combines them in-camera to capture a high contrast scene in
detail.
Smart Auto
Smart Auto uses Scene Detection
Technology to detect the appropriate scene from a possible 28, to
obtain the best result. Smart Flash Exposure intelligently controls
flash power and usage.
Multi-Aspect Shooting
The user can shoot in
a range of formats including 3:2, 1:1, 16:9 and 4:5 allowing
perfect composition at the time of shooting without the need to
post-process.
Extensive accessory system
The PowerShot G12
supports a range of accessories including a Lens Filter Adapter
which allows the addition of 58mm filters. A hotshoe allows for the
use of Canon Speedlite flashes while a Waterproof Case allows the
user to use the camera underwater up to 40m.
