Canon's Launching New PowerShot S100 Digital Compact Camera
Enhanced HS SYSTEM with Higher Sensitivity for Low Noise and Unsurpassed Image Performance
Handy Capture of Both Night and Day Shots Perfectly
Canon introduces the new PowerShot S100 Digital Compact Camera incorporating the newly developed Canon's DIGIC 5 Digital Image Processor and a 1/1.7" high sensitivity CMOS image sensor for flexibly fine capture of enchanting night shots. Improved signal-to-noise ratio especially for high ISO settings guarantees delivery of even better image quality. Its new Multi-Area Auto White Balance function can reproduce natural colors for images shot under mixed light sources. Coupled with the new Global Positioning System (GPS) function, PowerShot S100 can automatically record the shooting dates and locations of photos and videos. Even route map can be generated for easy review or creation of own travel blogs. Available in black and silver colors, PowerShot S100 unifies image quality, advanced features and portability into a stylish pocket-sized body, making it the perfect partner to capture everyday or travel images day and night. | Enhanced HS SYSTEM Integrating DIGIC 5 and High Sensitivity CMOS to Realize the Perfect Night Shots
PowerShot S100 features an enhanced HS SYSTEM that integrates the new DIGIC 5's ultra-fast data processing speed and the 1/1.7" 12.1-megapixel high sensitivity CMOS image sensor to dramatically improve the signal-to-noise ratio. It is especially useful for shooting with high ISO settings at low light situation, as it allows a shorter exposure time thus shaking due to long exposure setting can be largely reduced. Sharp and clear images can be captured even with handheld shooting. The new Canon's DIGIC 5 Digital Image Processor now brings 6 times faster the processing speed to further reduce the noise especially in high ISO shooting for even greater image quality and exceptional continuous shooting performance. Comparing with the previous generation, overall performance is improved drastically by 50%, allowing more unsurpassed images to be captured. Integrating DIGIC 5's ability to handle massive amount of data at high speed, PowerShot S100 features a new Multi-Area Auto White Balance function that reproduces natural colors for images shot under mixed light sources, such as mercury-vapor lamps and fluorescent lights together. It works by dividing the image into many areas and the light source of each is detected and adjusted for the optimum color. This drastically improves image quality for night portraits using the built-in flash, which was once difficult as the flash-lit subject in the foreground would appear unnatural against a scene with different light temperature, allowing beautiful night scene portraits to be captured with ease. 24mm Wide-Angle f/2.0 5x Optical Zoom Lens
PowerShot S100 is equipped with a 24mm wide-angle 5x optical zoom lens and a 4-step lens-shift type image stabilizer (IS) which enable users to capture both distant and close-up subjects effortlessly. The lens allows easy capture of wide open landscapes and group photos within a limited space, as well as far away subjects in details. With the lens' f/2.0 large aperture, PowerShot S100 allows more light to reach the sensor thus enhancing shooting performance in dim environment. Blurriness caused by shaking can be minimized with a faster shutter speed, images will look sharp and clear as a result. A new built-in ND filter which is ideal for shooting with slow shutter speeds is featured for expanded creativity expression. The f/2.0 lens also allows users to experience shallow depth of field, making subjects stand out by blurring the background. New Intelligent IS for Automatic Optimal Image Stabilization
With the help of Scene Detection technology, the new Intelligent IS in PowerShot S100 automatically optimizes image stabilization performance under different situations for both photo and video shootings. It guarantees clear images and steady movies at all times. Whether you are taking macro shots, moving subjects, using a tripod, recording movies with tele-zooming or shooting while walking with handheld camera, quality images are right at your fingertips simply by pressing the shutter button. Hybrid IS for Stable Macro Photography
Shooting stability is subject to both shift-based and angle-based camera shake. While conventional optical image stabilizer compensates angular camera shake only, macro and close-up photography suffers from shift-based movement mostly. That is why PowerShot S100 is incorporated with the new Hybrid IS, by adding an accelerometer to work with gyroscopic sensors, both kinds of movement can be corrected with high precision, thus enhancing stability during macro shooting subsequently. Enhanced Scene Detection Technology with up to 32 Modes
Scene Detection automatically detects shooting distance, lighting condition, color temperature and moving subjects etc, and adjusts to the best possible camera settings to capture the scene easily. By detecting a subject's focus and exposure, white balance, ISO speed and dynamic range, users can capture perfect images in different situations across a range of lighting conditions such as bright, backlit or blue skies. Also included is the Smart Flash Exposure function. The camera can automatically calculate and modify settings like flash output, flash synchronic speed and ISO speed to ensure bright and clear images. It serves as a perfect solution for common problems like uneven exposure that are found in normal flash mode. New Built-In GPS Function to Record Your Own Photo Journey
PowerShot S100 is equipped with Global Positioning System (GPS) function which will automatically record the shooting dates and locations of photos and videos once switched on. By using the bundled Map Utility software, the locations of your images can be tracked and shown on Google map clearly. A route map will also be generated for easy review or creation of your own travel blog. This new function can update different time zones automatically, and you can choose to continuously receive signals even when the camera is powered off to record your route effortlessly! Full HD Stereo Movie Shooting with Dynamic IS and Powered IS
PowerShot S100 supports full HD movie shooting in 1920 x 1080 resolution for more vivid image details. Made specially for movie shooting, Dynamic IS reduces shakings caused by handheld shooting at wide angle, while Powered IS is made to improve motion compensation at the tele-end. Work perfectly with Scene Detection technology, the camera can intelligently select the optimal settings for up to 21 pre-set scene modes for movie shooting. Stereo sound recording is also provided for high quality audio. Also, it supports Movie Digest and iFrame HD movie shooting for quick movie preview and editing. A couple of movie shooting modes can be found in PowerShot S100 for a more enjoyable experience. With the Super Slow Motion Movie mode tailored for motion subjects, you can now give a detailed look to the funny kids' or pets' actions! This mode captures at 240 frames per second1 and plays back at 30 frames per second to create the special slow motion effects. With the bundled ZoomBrowser EX or ImageBrowser software, playback can be adjusted to 1/8 or normal speed. Miniature Effect Movie mode, on the contrary, combines Time-lapse and miniature effect for capturing drifting clouds in the sky or create interesting movies with miniature-scale effect. Creative Filters and Shooting Modes for Fun and Special Effects
PowerShot S100 offers a wide range of creative filters for your easy creation of fun photos and movies. Miniature Mode can emphasize the subject and blur the surrounding area, creating a miniature-scale effect similar to Tilt-Shift lens. Fish-eye Mode mimics the distortion of a fisheye lens which expands the central area of an image to create a convex effect. It provides 3 different levels of enlargement and convexity from Low, Medium to High. Toy Camera Effect creates a special effect similar to a pinhole camera with 3 color settings of Warm, Standard and Cool available. Five levels of nostalgic effect are also provided to easily create faded color images or old black and white photos. PowerShot S100 also supports High Dynamic Range (HDR) mode for enhanced shooting flexibility. In situations with great differences in lighting contrast, using High Dynamic Range (HDR) mode, 3 images with different exposure settings are captured simultaneously and then merged into a HDR image which both blown-out highlights and shadowed areas are fine-tuned. As a result, rich gradation can be clearly expressed. 3-Inch 461,000-Dot 16:9 PureColor II G LCD
PowerShot S100 features a 3-inch PureColor II G LCD with 461,000-dot resolution. It incorporates a reinforced glass that reduces light reflection, making it ideal to frame from any angle and keeping a compact body. Handheld Night Scene to Master Beauties at Night
With Handheld Night Scene mode, PowerShot S100 will capture multiple images simultaneously and combine them into one sharp and optimally exposed photo with minimized noise. Bright and clear images can be easily captured even without using tripod, allowing greater flexibility and enjoyment for night scene photography. High-Speed Burst HQ Mode to Perfectly Capture Every Precise Moment
Whether it is to capture the enchanting dance performance or the exciting sports competition, high speed continuous shooting is what you need to turn every action into the perfect images! PowerShot S100's High-Speed Burst HQ mode can capture up to 9.6 frames per second2, ensuring not a single moment will be missed! Smart Shutter Mode for Easy and Convenient Self Portraits
PowerShot S100 is equipped with different Smart Shutter modes including Wink, Smile and Face Self-Timers. Facial expressions can be detected as a signal for shutter release. It avoids hand shaking and guarantee good result with adequate preparation time, ensuring that every happy face is captured perfectly. 1 Records at 320 x 240 pixels and the longest clip is 30 seconds; actual frame rate is 239.76 frames per second
