16:9 WIDESCREEN RESOLUTION*
Select PowerShot models allow
the user to set the recording
pixels in Widescreen. Images
taken in this setting have a 16:9
aspect ratio, so they display no
warping or cropping when viewed
on widescreen televisions or
computer monitors.
WHITE BALANCE SELECTOR
In the auto mode, PowerShot cameras provide superb automatic
white balance compensation using iSAPS Technology. Presets
including daylight,
cloudy, tungsten and
fluorescent are also
available. Custom
white balance can
also be set and stored.

LIGHT GUIDE FLASH WITH MULTIPLE FLASH MODES*
The flash built into select PowerShot cameras employs Canon’s
elegant light guide technology, which ensures high flash output
and uniform coverage in remarkably little space. Red-eye
Reduction can be turned on and off in any combination. “First
curtain” sync is also available, and flash strength can be set
manually to any of 3 levels.

SHORTCUT FUNCTION*
The camera’s Print/Share button can be easily
programmed to perform one of several tasks,
creating a custom “shortcut button” just for
you. Use it to change display options, quickly
access exposure and white balance settings,
even activate a shutter sound that gets young
subjects’ attention.
* Not on all models.

Under certain shooting conditions, the user may want to manually
change the flash strength. This feature allows the flash to be set

Automatic Flash Exposure may be adjusted up to ±2 stops in
1/3-stop increments depending on shooting conditions.
