Finished in a striking metallic blue, the SD1300 IS is designed for the social photographer who wants Canon’s legendary image quality in an effortless, “go-anywhere” form factor.

High-Resolution Imaging in a Compact Profile
12.1 Megapixel CCD Sensor: Capture incredible detail and rich colors, providing enough resolution for stunning prints up to 13″ x 19″ or creative cropping without losing clarity.

28mm Wide-Angle Lens: The 4x optical zoom lens starts at a versatile 28mm equivalent, making it easy to capture expansive landscapes, tight indoor group shots, and emotive close-ups.

DIGIC 4 Image Processor: This advanced processor ensures fast camera startup, responsive operation, and accurate color reproduction with significantly reduced noise.

Sharp, Steady Shooting
Optical Image Stabilizer (IS): Canon’s acclaimed stabilization technology automatically detects and corrects camera shake. This is essential for getting crisp, blur-free images when zoomed in or shooting handheld without a flash.

Smart AUTO Mode: Take the guesswork out of photography. The camera intelligently analyzes your scene and automatically selects the optimal settings from 18 predefined situations, ensuring perfect exposures for everything from sunsets to portraits.

Low Light Mode: For environments lit by candles or streetlamps, the SD1300 IS can expand its sensitivity up to ISO 6400, allowing you to capture the mood of the moment without the need for a harsh flash.

Smart Features for Perfect Portraits
Advanced Face Detection: The camera automatically optimizes focus, exposure, flash, and white balance for up to 35 faces in a single frame.

Face Detection Self-Timer: A clever tool for group shots that waits for the camera to detect an additional face before triggering the shutter, ensuring the photographer can get into the picture.

i-Contrast (Intelligent Contrast Correction): Automatically improves the dynamic range in high-contrast shots, preventing blown-out highlights while retaining detail in the shadows.

Viewing and Design
2.7-inch PureColor System LCD: The bright, high-resolution screen features a scratch-resistant, anti-reflective coating for easy viewing even in direct sunlight or at awkward angles.

Sleek ELPH Aesthetics: Known for its “Box and Circle” design, the SD1300 IS is as much a fashion statement as it is a photographic tool, featuring a durable and sophisticated metallic finish.

Video Capture: Record AVI video clips with mono sound—ideal for those moments when a still photo isn’t enough to tell the whole story.
