| |
| FEELS GREAT |
| From the minute you pick it up, the PowerShot G6 inspires confidence. All key controls fall immediately under your fingertips and the rubberised grip makes the camera feel like an extension of your hand. Flip out the large 2.0" vari-angle LCD and you are ready for anything. |
| |
| RESOLUTION TO BURN |
| The 7.1 Megapixel resolution allows detailed prints in excess of A3 size and prints without loss of detail from tight, post-shoot crops. |
| |
| PRECISION LENS |
| Great in low light conditions, the fast f/2.0 - f/3.0 lens has a versatile focal length range of 7.2 to 28.8mm (35-140mm equivalent in 35mm format). |
| |
| WEALTH OF OPTIONS |
| An SLR-style Mode Dial allows you to call up any one of 12 different shooting modes. Two custom modes can be used to save and retrieve your favourite combination of settings. |
| |
| HIGH-PERFORMANCE |
| With incredible speed, Canon's purpose-built DIGIC processor executes the complex algorithms required for accurate image rendering. The result is superb quality images, more accurate focusing and metering, longer battery life and fast start-up times. |
| |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| iSAPS TECHNOLOGY |
Like a built-in photographer's assistant, iSAPS improves auto exposure, auto white balance and auto focus accuracy by monitoring settings and readings, and using these to interpret the shooting situation. |
| |
| STAY FOCUSED |
When you need to be fast, the 9-point AiAF focuses quickly on your subject, even when it is off-centre. For full control, FlexiZone AF/AE allows scrolling and selection of the auto focus point from across the frame. |
| |
| ROOM TO GROW |
For professional lighting results, the PowerShot G6 is compatible with all Canon Speedlite flash units1. Optional converter lenses further extend the camera's range. |
| |
| IMAGE MANAGEMENT |
For total post-shoot control, the PowerShot G6 supports simultaneous JPEG and lossless RAW image recording for both flexibility and flawless 'digital negatives'. ZoomBrowser (Windows) and ImageBrowser (Mac) help manage your work, while ArcSoft PhotoStudio provides extensive image editing and manipulation options. Share shots and create online photo albums with 100MB of free space through CANON iMAGE GATEWAY2 |
