PowerShot Technology Guide Fall/Winter 2007

Canon’s 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
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.

Compact, highly accurate OIS unit
Canon lens technology,
backed by a 70-year track
record of innovation is
praised by photographers
everywhere. Canon’s
commitment to digital
camera optics is just as
firm. Using the most
advanced aspherical
design technologies,
lenses are subjected to
numerous fine adjust-
ments in the assembly
process. UA Lens
Technology absolutely
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.
