Canon’s Blur-busing features come to Digital Compacts
Author: oldlee37
On January 24, 2008 Canon announced the launch of a compact camera with a powerful newfeature that say bye-bye to blur and offer enhanced point-and-shoot capability. This camera includes brand-new blur-reducing Motion Detection Technology, and new technology evolutions. Canon’s Face Detection Technology now features Face Detection White Balance, and Red-eye Correction, for red-eye removal as the user shoots. The camera also has a Face Select & Track function. This camera include Canon’s leading lens-shift optical Image Stabilizer lens for additional blur reduction and low-light shooting capability.
Canon’s PowerShot A- Series of digital cameras swelled with the addition of a new model featuring brand new technology for 2008. The PowerShot A470 is a 7.1 Megapixels, 3.4x zoom, 2.5” LCD and four color variations (Red, Blue, Green, Silver).
With new optical Image Stabilizer lens and Motion Detection Technology Canon provides a comprehensive and intelligent solution to blur. Used in Auto ISO mode, Motion Detection Technology takes information from multiple sources - Face Detection Technology, scene brightness, subject movement and the optical Image Stabilizer (where available) – to assess camera or subject movement. It then calculates the minimum boost In ISO levels (between ISO 80-800) necessary to compensate or that motion. The wide range of inputs and precision of the Motion Detection algorithms ensure that Canon’s system avoids trading reduced blur for an unnecessary increase in image noise.
Face Detection White Balance and Face Select & Track are included, enhancing portraits and people shots taken in a wide range of situations. Face Detection White Balance sets the white balance for the face detection frame. The results are portraits with natural skin tones, in all environments whether by artificial, natural, or mixed light sources. Face Select & Track follows a user selected face around the frame, ensuring the best results are achieved at the moment the photographer shoots. The auto Red-Eye Correction detects and removes the red-eye as the user shoots, for natural, red-eye free images.
