Product Description
-------------------
PS1) Canon Power G9 Digital
From the Manufacturer
---------------------
Given the success of Canon's highly accled G Series, it's no
surprise that ambitious photographers have been eagerly
anticipating the next model in its evolution. The wait has paid
off handsomely with the introduction of the Power G9. In
image quality and functionality, the G9 stands above the
competition with 12.1 megapixels of resolution, 6x optical zoom
with Optical Image Stabilizer, and RAW mode for the ultimate in
creative control. Sophisticated design and high-quality
construction complement the technology and make the G9 a camera
to be reckoned with.
Big Impact in a Compact Package
The Power powerhouse: A class-leading 12.1-megapixel digital
camera with unique Canon DIGIC III Image Processor, 6x optical
zoom, and Optical Image Stabilizer.
12.1-megapixel resolution gives you plenty of rich, deep detail
to work with. Blow up images to size, or and crop
any section without fear of pixilation.
With DIGIC III, your images boast superior quality, the camera
operates at top efficiency and battery life is enhanced. What's
more, DIGIC III enables Canon's Face Detection Technology and
red-eye correction to give you better, more true-to-life people
s. Simply press the Shutter Button halfway down, and the
camera automatically pinpoints the faces in the scene and chooses
the ideal focus point. The camera controls exposure settings and
flash to keep every face looking bright and natural. Red eyes can
be corrected during playback.
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 fast DIGIC III Image Processor to improve focus speed
and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance.
The camera is equipped with a long 6x optical zoom. Canon's own
Optical Image Stabilizer Technology keeps images steady and
blur-free all through the zoom range--even in low light--by
detecting motion and generating a corrective signal. Because it
is an optical system, more corrective movement is allowed and
there is no degradation of image quality.
Creative Power in Your Control
Full range of shooting and modes including JPEG + RAW
for the ultimate in creative control.
The Power G9's RAW mode lets you shoot images without JPEG
compression. It gives you clearer images and complete creative
control in editing. RAW images are transferred directly to the
computer where they can then be edited using image adjustment
software or a processing application to adjust your images as you
please. The camera can also be set to allow the simultaneous
of both RAW and JPEG images while shooting.

A View That's a Pure Pleasure
Optical viewfinder plus large high-quality 3.0-inch PureColor
LCD II screen for bright, accurate color with greater viewing
from a wider angle and with an anti-glare, anti-scratch coating.
The Power G9 gives you an extra-large 3.0-inch LCD screen
for excellent control when framing your s. But size is only
part of the story. Canon's PureColor LCD II offers more
spectacular color, resolution, and contrast even at an angle
(compared to PureColor LCD). The screen is highly durable and
easy to see in any light with a scratch-resistant,
anti-reflective coating. It is a perfect feature for gathering
friends and family around to see your images.
3.0-Inch LCD Screen
Canon technology maximizes quality and performance.
Genuine Canon Face Detection Technology sets the focus,
exposure, and flash automatically, leaving you free to compose a
group, capture an unguarded moment, or coax the perfect smile.
Plus the new Face Selector Button lets you select the primary
face.
DIGIC III features Face Detection technologies, giving the you
best possible results in any shooting situation. Face Detection
AF/AE sets the focus point and exposure for the faces of your
subjects. Face Detection FE adjusts the flash to correctly
illuminate your subject to provide the best balance between your
subject and the overall scene, eliminating the common problems of
over- and underexposed faces.
And new Face Selector AF enables you to lock on and follow a
specific face. The selected subject is tracked wherever the face
moves in the frame.
The Power G9 features ISO 1600 and High ISO Auto settings
that reduce the effects of camera shake and sharpen subjects in
low-light situations, giving you greater shooting flexibility.
Red-eye correction detects and corrects red-eye during playback.
In unusual cases where red-eye is not automatically detected, it
can easily be corrected manually during playback mode.
The Creative Freedom You've Wanted

Speedlites, Canon supplementary lenses, and a waterproof case.
The Power G9 is compatible with many shooting accessories,
not only wide and teleconverter lenses, a waterproof case, and
High-Power Flash designed for all of the Power models, but
also Speedlite EX series that is compatible with all EOS series
SLR cameras. (Shooting accessories are not included; they must be
purchased separately.) Attach a Speedlite 580EX II to the hot
shoe, then you can set and control the flash on the "Flash
Control" menu in the camera. With the 580EX II, the G9 is able to
have extra functions such as autoflash metering, FE lock, and
Flash exposure compensation. Canon's Speedlite Transmitter ST-E2
enables you to have multiple slave flashes and wireless control.
A waterproof case is also available for your underwater shooting.
