Power SD960 IS Highlights
12.1-megapixel resolution, 4x optical zoom lens with Optical
Image Stabilizer
Canon’s commitment to innovation defines the excitement of the
Power SD960 IS Digital ELPH. 12.1-megapixel resolution is
more than a number, it’s your cutting-edge link to the
outstanding clarity and quality you’ve always wanted in your
images. Think bold and big, because razor-sharp, oversized prints
are a breeze. And think way beyond the typical picture format
thanks to the 28mm wide-angle lens with 4x optical zoom. Get the
picture? It’s absolutely brilliant.
The Power SD960 IS Digital ELPH is equipped with Canon’s
accled Optical Image Stabilizer Technology that automatically
detects and corrects camera shake--one of the leading causes of
fuzzy or blurred s. Even when zoomed in, you can get the
steady, crisp, brilliant images you’ll be proud to shoot and
share. And Canon’s Optical Image Stabilizer Technology is so
convenient to use. It functions perfectly with or without a
flash.
HD movie shooting capability plus HDMI output
The Power SD960 IS Digital ELPH lets you record video in
beautiful high definition (1280 x 720 pixels). The camera also
makes it easy to enjoy HD movies (and still photos) on your HDTV
with a mini-HDMI connector for direct connection to a
high-definition monitor. You’ll enjoy the HD experience with no
degradation of image or audio in the signal, plus the ability to
display up to 130 still images at once.
Widescreen 2.8-inch PureColor LCD II and wide viewing angle
The Power SD960 IS Digital ELPH gives you a large and wide
2.8-inch LCD screen for excellent control when framing your
s. Canon’s PureColor LCD II offers spectacular color,
resolution and contrast even when viewed at an angle. The screen
is highly durable and easy to see in any light with a
scratch-resistant, anti-reflective coating. It also features
Night Display for easy viewing in low light--a perfect feature
for gathering friends and family around to see your images.
Smart AUTO intelligently selects the proper settings
Just set the Canon Power SD960 IS Digital ELPH to Smart AUTO
and you’re ready for maximum enjoyment from your picture taking
every time. It’s a relaxing and satisfying way to shoot because
you can completely concentrate on your subject knowing that the
camera has the technical details covered. Advanced Canon
technology intelligently analyzes your situation and shooting
conditions. Then it automatically selects an appropriate setting
from 18 specially defined settings. So whether you’re
photographing flowers, a captivating sunset, or your friends at
the park, you can be confident that you’re getting dramatic,
memorable images.
Shooting Modes
Advanced presets for the best possible photos under certain
conditions. With 20 Shooting Modes, you’re ready for whatever
comes your way.
New Active display technology for quickly sw between
images
Active Display is a fun new feature powered by an accelerometer
built into the Power SD960 IS Digital ELPH. When browsing
through your images in playback, just give the camera a quick
shake to advance or return images one frame at a time. Tilting
the camera will activate continuous image advance, and tilting at
a further angle will make the images advance more quickly.

A World of Advantages with Canon’s Technology
DIGIC 4 image processor has evolved Face Detection Technology
that tracks the faces of moving subjects and lets the shooter
enter the frame seamlessly with the Face Detection Self-Timer.
DIGIC 4 Image Processor
Canon’s most advanced image processor, DIGIC 4, delivers evolved
Face Detection Technology that keeps every face in every photo
looking its very best. The technology finds and tracks the faces
of moving subjects until you’re ready to shoot, then delivers
perfect focus. In addition, exposure, flash and white balance are
compensated, so that faces exhibit natural skin tones and
backgrounds are properly exposed.
iSAPS Technology is an entirely original scene-re
technology developed for digital cameras by Canon. Using an
internal database of thousands of different photos, iSAPS works
with the advanced DIGIC 4 Image Processor to improve focus speed
and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance.
A Face Detection Self-Timer automatically detects an increase in
the number of faces and makes the appropriate adjustments. For
instance, to include the photographer’s face in a group ,
there’s no need to rush in. Just put the camera on a stand or
tripod, specify Face Detection Self-Timer, and the camera will
wait for the photographer’s face to get on-camera before it takes
the . Motion Detection tracks moving subjects in a much
larger range, and the Servo AF retains focus on a moving subject
after the shutter button is pressed halfway--allowing you to wait
for the perfect without refocusing.
Intelligent Contrast Correction
DIGIC 4 also makes possible the i-Contrast (Intelligent Contrast
Correction) system, which controls the compensation level in
pixel units to brighten dark areas while leaving bright areas
unchanged for better images where the main subject is dark, and
more natural transition. The Power SD960 IS Digital ELPH can
even use i-Contrast in playback mode to adjust images that were
without the setting activated.
Red-eye Correction provides three options for removing red-eye
from subjects in flash pictures. 1) Red-eye Correction during
shooting actually identifies and corrects red-eye in human
subjects as pictures are taken. 2) The Power SD960 IS Digital
ELPH can be set to automatically detect and correct red-eye
during image playback. 3) You can manually locate any red eyes in
a scene during image playback on the LCD screen, and command the
camera to remove them.
Life doesn’t give you second chances to capture special times.
That’s why the Power SD960 IS Digital ELPH features an ISO
1600 setting that reduces the effects of camera shake and
sharpens subjects in low-light situations, giving you greater
shooting flexibility. ISO can be expanded to 3200 when you select
ISO 3200 Special Scene mode.
