Key Features & Advanced Imaging Architecture
12.1MP HS SYSTEM & DIGIC 4 Processor: Integrates a back-illuminated high-sensitivity sensor that maximizes light gathering. Together with the processor, it controls noise levels to maintain clean frame clarity up to ISO 12,800 during low-light or indoor available-light tracking.
Massive 30x Optical Super-Zoom Lens: Offers an expansive 24-720mm equivalent zoom range. It handles wide-angle architectural shots, daily family portraits, and super-telephoto long-range compositions within a single stationary lens barrel.
Intelligent 6-Mode Image Stabilization: Automatically analyzes your framing scenario to apply one of six specialized stabilization presets (Normal, Panning, Hybrid Macro, Dynamic, Powered, or Tripod Mode) to actively neutralize handheld camera shake.
Zoom Framing Assist Technology: Features an automated tracking assistant that intelligently zooms out to help you relocate a fast-moving subject if you lose sight of it at the telephoto end, then crops back in once the target is re-acquired.
Built-In Wi-Fi Connectivity: Wirelessly pairs directly with iOS and Android mobile devices via the free Canon CameraWindow app, enabling seamless image sharing, cloud archiving via CANON IMAGE GATEWAY, and GPS location tagging.
Full HD 1080p Cinematic Video: Captures high-definition 1080p video at 24 frames per second via a dedicated physical movie button. Includes an electronic wind filter to suppress ambient audio noise and an on-board HDMI port for direct HDTV playback.
Creative Control & Camera Ergonomics
3.0-Inch Crisp LCD Monitor: Built with a bright, high-resolution 461k-dot rear LCD screen optimized for clear live-view monitoring, effortless menu navigation, and detailed playback assessment.
Smart AUTO Exposure Selection: Intuitively scans your surroundings to select the ideal exposure settings from 32 pre-defined structural environments, ensuring perfectly balanced shots for beginners.
Advanced PASM Manual Controls: Features advanced shooting modes including full Manual (M), Aperture-Priority (Av), Shutter-Priority (Tv), and Program (P) for intermediate and advanced photographers wanting absolute exposure control.
