PowerShot Technology Guide Fall/Winter 2007

ISO 1600*
Canon’s highly advanced X
IIIIII
Image Processor enables a range of
ISO equivalent settings from 80 to 1600, achieving excellent image
quality under darker conditions without a flash. With camera shake
greatly reduced, photographers can shoot high quality images in many
more situations. On the PowerShot G9 and G7, ISO settings are quickly
accessible from a dedicated control dial.
NOISE REDUCTION*
Experienced photographers know that high ISO speeds can coincide with
increased
levels of noise: aberrant or stray signals that degrade image
quality. With Canon’s
exclusive X
IIIIII
Image Processor, there is no need
for compromise.
X
IIIIII
offers a major boost in noise reduction signal
processing to compensate for the higher ISO settings it enables.
X III IMAGE PROCESSOR*
X
IIIIII
is the third generation of Canon's exclusive DIGIC Image
Processor. X
IIIIII
yields brilliant colors, smooth gradations, and
responsive performance, while powering a host of new features
found in the latest digital cameras: Canon Face Detection AF/AE/FE,
Noise Reduction, and ISO 1600, and more.

RED-EYE CORRECTION*
X

Image Processor allows some PowerShot models to detect and
correct red-eye during playback mode. In unusual cases where red-eye is
not automatically detected, it can easily be corrected manually during
playback mode.

RAW MODE*
By recording images without processing them in any way, the PowerShot
G9’s RAW Mode gives you complete creative control in editing. RAW
images are transferred directly to the computer without processing, where
they can then be edited using image adjustment software or processing
application to create your images as you want.
