Serious Imaging Power
---------------------
1.0-inch, 20.2 Megapixel* High-Sensitivity CMOS Sensor
------------------------------------------------------
The Power G3 X camera's 1.0-inch sensor achieves a beautiful
balance between high sensitivity and high image quality. The
sensor is able to collect more light in a shorter time period
without the overflow that causes blown-out highlights. This means
better detail and sophisticated tonal quality, with rich
gradations even at high ISO speeds all the way to 12800. A high
signal-to-noise ratio delivers minimal noise and distortion with
breathtaking dynamic range, particularly notable in bright areas.
And photography enthusiasts will appreciate the changes in image
processing for the Power G3 X, which include target exposure
value and contrast characteristics of highlights. Thanks to this
change, dynamic range in bright areas is expanded with gradation
attributes that are similar to EOS. Also, by changing the
exposure index standard, it is possible to shoot at almost the
same brightness with the same aperture, shutter speed and ISO
settings as EOS. The Power G3 X natively captures images in
the 3:2 aspect ratio, which is the same as Canon EOS SLR cameras.
The camera's image creation technology was designed with post
processing in mind, and features an Aspect Ratio function,
enabling RAW image capture in 16:9, 3:2, 4:3 and 1:1 aspect
ratios while maintaining the same angle of view.
* Image processing may cause a decrease in the number of pixels.
Canon DIGIC 6 Image Processor
-----------------------------
The Power G3 X camera is powered by the latest iteration of
Canon's proprietary processor, the DIGIC 6 Image Processor, which
takes still and video image quality to a beautiful new level.
Improved light sensitivity allows for higher resolution with less
noise when shooting in dark conditions, and Dynamic IS now
detects and compensates for tilt and parallel movement (shift
blur) to create video that's exceptionally free of distortion.
The DIGIC 6 Image Processor also enhances the performance
capabilities of the Power G3 X, powering full resolution
high-speed continuous still shooting (even in P, Av, Tv and M
modes) and the advanced star shooting modes. The processor allows
for MP4 video for better compatibility with mobile
devices and s. Highly compressed MP4 video not only
preserves space on your memory card but also improves playback on
mobile devices. The new processor also supports an MF Peaking
function, giving you a pro-level focusing tool.
Canon HS SYSTEM
---------------
The Canon HS SYSTEM lets you take bright, clear photos as they
happen, whether the light is cooperating or not. Beautiful
low-light s are possible with minimal noise and truly
impressive detail in both highlight and shadow areas. The system
is the result of two technologies in the Power G3 X camera:
the large format 1.0-inch High-Sensitivity CMOS sensor, which
captures more light; and the DIGIC 6 Image Processor, which
actively reduces noise at high ISO speeds up to 12800 and
processes images at high speed, even at full resolution.
Experience the freedom of using higher shutter speeds in far more
situations, allowing you to capture images with exceptional
clarity and detail.
Brilliantly Versatile New Lens
------------------------------
25x, f/2.8–5.6 Optical Zoom Lens (24–600mm)
-------------------------------------------
The Power G3 X incorporates a powerful 25x Optical Zoom
(24–600mm) lens for seamless telephoto shooting and unmatched
versatility. You'll capture everything from the widest landscapes
to dynamic close-ups in precise detail – all without changing a
lens. The culmination of decades of EF lens know-how, the bright,
all-new f/2.8–5.6 lens uses cutting-edge construction to prevent
aberration and peripheral illumination loss over the entire
telephoto range, delivering reliably high image quality with
every . The lens's 9-blade aperture diaphragm creates
beautiful circular background blur. Micro USM II drives the
high-speed, silent zoom, with smooth, high-precision focusing for
professional-quality video shooting.
Intelligent IS
--------------
It's easy to capture clear, steady images with Power digital
cameras, even in low light without using a tripod. That's because
the camera is equipped with Canon's innovative Intelligent IS.
The system automatically analyzes camera movement and applies the
best shake correction method for the shooting situation –
allowing you to focus on framing and capturing your . For
stills, the system selects from Normal IS, Panning IS, Macro
(Hybrid) IS and Tripod modes. When shooting video, the system
selects from Dynamic IS, Powered IS, Macro (Hybrid) IS and Active
Tripod IS modes. New icons clearly mark the image stabilization
mode, whether you're shooting still images or video.
Still Image Shooting
--------------------
Normal IS Corrects for a wide range of camera movement when
shooting stills. Panning IS Panning motion is detected so that IS
does not interfere with desired camera movement. Macro (Hybrid)
IS Corrects for shift-type camera shake, which typically occurs
in macro (close-up) shooting. Tripod When tripod use is detected,
the Image Stabilizer is stopped because it is not needed.
Video
---------------
Dynamic IS Effective for video shooting at wide-angle focal
lengths, eliminating the unwanted shaking that typically occurs
while walking. Powered IS Compensates for hand movement when
shooting video at the telephoto end of the zoom range, where
camera shake is magnified. Macro (Hybrid) IS Corrects for motion
blur that is likely to occur when shooting video while walking.
Also compensates for the shift-type camera shake common in macro
shooting. Active Tripod IS When shooting video while using a
tripod, the Image Stabilizer is active to compensate for slight
camera shake.
Capture More Angles – Even Selfies
----------------------------------
High-resolution Multi-angle Touch Panel LCD
-------------------------------------------
The Power G3 X camera's LCD screen can tilt up 180°, so
taking that perfect selfie is a snap! In fact, the multi-angle
LCD encourages creative framing because it's easy to achieve a
flexible array of camera angles. Capacitive touch-panel operation
feels familiar right away: simply touch to access quick control
settings, focus and shutter release right on screen. A resolution
of 1.62 million pixels makes the glare-free display ultra crisp
and clear, so it's easy to compose your s, choose camera
settings, and review and share your images.
Enhancing the Movie Experience
