5-Megapixel Digital Camera
Canon’s top-of-the-line PowerShot, the G5 is a stunning combination of
resolution, speed and control, all housed in a rugged but elegant black
body. The PowerShot G5 features 5-megapixel CCD resolution (2592 x
1944 pixels) with exceptional detail and color fidelity. fidelity. It has a
fast, high resolution 4x optical zoom lens with iris-type aperture and
User-operated, multi-stop control for spectacular depth of field, or elegant
blur. Perfect focus, exposure, and color are achieved quickly with the
combination of Canon’s exclusive DIGIC imaging processor with iSAPS
technology, an Intelligent Orientation Sensor, and the use of primary color filters.
A Wide-Area FlexiZone AF/AE system allow you to focus on off-center subjects without repositioning the camera, while 12
EOS System-based shooting modes and a host of automatic and manual functions ensure you the perfect shot every time—
no matter what your shooting style. The PowerShot G5 also has a 270° Swivel LCD, Vari-Angle monitor, ergonomic hand grip
and an EOS-style control layout for easier handling. For image storage, the camera uses Compact Flash cards including
IBM’s Microdrives and is compatible with Canon EX-series Speedlites, as well as a variety of Canon supplementary lenses.
5-Megapixel CCD
◆ Massive 5-megapixel CCD sensor allows
you to produce high-resolution images up
to 2,592 x 1,944 pixels with exceptional
detail and fidelity for stunning clarity and
color in even your biggest enlargements.
In addition, primary color filters are used
to reduce noise while enhancing the natu-
ral colors of the scene photographed.
4x Optical/16x Digital Zoom
◆ At the heart of the PowerShot G5 is
Canon’s powerful 4x, all-glass zoom lens.
With a 35mm equivalent range of 35-
140mm, a large maximum aperture of
f/2.0-3.0, and macro focusing down to 2
in., there’s virtually nothing this lens
can’t do. A 4x digital zoom extends the
telephoto capabilities even further, effec-
tively making it a 16x zoom.
RAW Mode
◆ In addition to JPEG compression set-
tings, the G5 can record full resolution
images as CCD RAW files. This preserves
maximum image quality, since data is
recorded to the memory card directly
from the CCD without degradation.
White Balance & ISO Control
◆ To ensure the perfect exposure in any
situation, the PowerShot G5 offers the
characteristics of virtually every type of
film in traditional photography. With 9
white balance settings (automatic, six
preset, and two custom) it can adjust
for almost any lighting condition. It also
offers a choice of ISO ratings (Auto, 50,
100, 200, or 400) to best suit conditions
at hand. A neutral density filter setting
allows for slower shutter speeds in
extremely bright situations. Long-expo-
sure noise reduction is automatically
applied to images 1.3 seconds or longer.
◆ White balance settings include auto,
daylight, cloudy, tungsten and fluores-
cent
(Fluorescent H or flash) settings.
“Fluorescent H” offers a better match for
daylight-type fluorescent lights, while
“flash” is optimized for the color tem-
perature of flash pictures.
FEATURES
DIGIC Imaging Processor and iSAPS Technology
Canon Technology for High Quality Images
Canon’s proprietary DIGIC (Digital Imaging Integrated Circuit) image processor com-
bines image processing and camera function control into one chip. And since it was
designed for digital cameras, it also handles JPEG compression/expansion; memory
card control; LCD/Video control and processing; gain control (control of CCD signal
amplification); Auto Exposure/Focus;/White Balance control and most other functions
of the camera. The result is faster and more powerful auto focus, faster image pro-
cessing, longer battery life, and the ability to record 3-minute movie clips with sound.
The DIGIC chip’s high-speed processing enables Canon’s exclusive iSAPS (Intelligent
Scene Analysis based on Photographic Space) technology to improve picture quality
by “predicting” certain camera settings like focusing distance, exposure and optimum
white balance based on zoom focal length, overall light level and tonal distribution
data. With iSAPS, the PowerShot G5 can analyze a scene just before the image is made
and in doing so, increase the speed and precision of the camera’s autofocus, auto
exposure and auto white balance.
