PowerShot S90

put the power of a pro in the palm of your hand

FEATURES

•	With a soft matte finish on the body, and uniform black coating over the different textures of the entire camera body projecting a distinctive feel of sophistication.
•	The PowerShot S90's bright f2.0 lens companied with the latest Dual Anti-Noise system makes every shot a natural inspiration

•	The new Dual Anti-Noise system comprising of Canon's proprietary DIGIC 4 Imaging Processor and a high-sensitive CCD to deliver crisp, clear images in all demanding lighting situations.

•	Smart Auto mode is improved with Servo AF / AE. Camera automatically tracks moving subjects when you half pressed the shutter button.
•	Smart Auto mode uses both Scene Detection and Face Detection technologies to detects subject (people / item) and determine subject brightness, contrast, distance, overall hue and motion. The mode can also differentiate between day-time and low-light (night time) scenarios for an effortless capture of the perfect picture.
•	The Smart Auto mode intelligently selects the proper settings for the camera based on 22 pre-defined shooting situations

•

Key advantages:

-	A faster shutter speed that prevents camera shake and subject blurring

-	Achieve shallow depth of field which adds perspective especially when you are shooting sceneries

•	Particularly useful in situations when you do not want to use flash to disrupt the environment
•	In the Low Light* mode, continuous shooting of 2.1fps (frame per second) is possible.
	* recording is fixed at 2.5 megapixels.

•

By rotating the Control Ring for an analog feel, you can access and change a variety of settings instantly.
