Delivering
premium quality
Its the combination of lens, sensor and processor
that decides the image quality. Canon combines
its leading optical technology with the HS System
to achieve market-leading image quality.

Canon HS System
Image sensors with a larger surface area allow for individual pixels
to be larger, and so are more efficient at gathering light. Combined
with Canons powerful DIGIC processing this leads to improved low
light performance with the ability to use a higher ISO setting without
encountering high levels of image noise.

Lens know-how
Youll experience our 75-year optical heritage in every
Canon lens. The lenses in Canons digital compact
cameras share many of the design and manufacturing
processes that are used to develop our professional
broadcast and EF lens range.
The use of special lens elements such as UA and UD
lenses contribute significantly to size reduction and higher
performance of Canons compact cameras, enabling
compactness without compromising on image quality.
Each model includes Intelligent IS which selects the best
IS mode to correct different types of camera shake.

Full Manual
Control and
RAW, giving
you power over
your images
Despite their compact proportions each camera is designed to give
you swift access to its manual controls. Ultimately, youll have the
power to create the shot you want, with ease through Aperture
Priority (Av), Shutter Priority (Tv) and Full Manual mode (M).

With the option to shoot in the RAW file format or RAW and JPEG
together, youll be able to exercise even greater control and freedom
when editing. The supplied Digital Photo Professional software is
extremely powerful and allows you to do basic image editing as well
as change the white balance, exposure, contrast and noise reduction
at the touch of a button.

The PowerShot S series features a Lens Control Ring and a capacitive

touch screen that puts you in full control of the camera. Providing similar
controls to a DSLR, the PowerShot G series all have front and rear
multi-control dials which support the fine adjustments that turn a good
shot into a great one. The optical viewfinder enables you to shoot in the
traditional style or you can use the wide viewing angle, high resolution
LCD screen to shoot discreetly or from a variety of positions.

The PowerShot S series and G series perform
well in a range of conditions, including low
light. The PowerShot G1 Xs 1.5 type sensor, at
18.7 x 14mm, has a surface area approximately
6.3x larger than CMOS sensors used in the S
series, G15 and G16. A larger sensor gives
photographers greater control over the depth
of field, while high ISO up to 12,800 allows
exceptionally low noise images to be captured
even in the darkest of conditions.

underwater adventures

Your complete
digital workflow

Canon waterproof cases offer protection down to depths of 40 metres,

opening up the world of underwater photography. Perfect for scuba diving
and snorkeling, they provide access to full photographic controls, such as
White Balance adjustment and exposure adjustments for adapting the
camera to different aquatic environments. These cases can also be useful

with a solution for every stage of their digital photography
workflow, from capture though to processing and output.

Below details the cases available for the following:

S110 (WP-DC47)

G15 (WP-DC48)
G16 (WP-DC52)
G1 X (WP-DC44)

RAW photography

WP-DC47 for PowerShot S110

Put simply, a RAW file is like a digital negative every piece of pixel data captured by
the cameras sensor is preserved, with minimal in-camera processing. Just as a
negative needs to be printed, so a RAW file needs to be digitally processed, and by
doing this a photographer can unlock improved picture quality and extra editing options.

Digital Photo Professional software

Every Canon advanced performance compact camera is accompanied by a suite of
software that further enhances functionality.

WPDC44 for PowerShot G1 X

WP-DC52 for PowerShot G16

Digital Photo Professional is an application that allows photographers to browse and

edit JPEG and RAW image files through an intuitive, fully featured interface. Colour,
white balance, brightness contrast and sharpness can all be adjusted, along with a
host of other parameters.

Photographic printing
Canon PIXMA inkjet printers allow photographers to make stunning prints for fine-art
or portfolio use from the convenience of their own home. Tiny ink droplets deliver
exceptional image quality in prints up to A3+. Also, Canon SELPHY dye-sublimation
printers offer swift, photo-lab quality prints of smaller print sizes from a compact,
easy-to-use unit.
