Experience the Power
--------------------
Canon HS SYSTEM
---------------
The Canon HS SYSTEM lets you take bright, clear photos in an even
wider range of shooting situations. Beautiful low-light s are
possible with minimal noise and maximum detail in highlight and
shadow areas. The system is the result of two technologies
brought together in Power cameras: a high-sensitivity imaging
sensor, which is able to capture more light; and the DIGIC 5
Image Processor, which actively reduces noise with high-speed
image processing. The 12.1 Megapixel Canon CMOS sensor in the
Power SX260 HS incorporates advanced light reception
technology that enhances sensitivity. The DIGIC 5 Image Processor
provides a major boost in noise reduction, expanding the usable
ISO range to an amazing high of ISO 3200. The Canon HS SYSTEM
thus lets you use higher shutter speeds to capture clearer images
with reduced noise and blur.
Canon DIGIC 5 Image Processor
-----------------------------
The latest-generation Canon DIGIC 5 Image Processor brings
phenomenal increases in processing speed and power. Improved chip
architecture and algorithms deliver greatly expanded
functionality with further refinement in image quality. Improved
noise reduction produces clearer images when shooting in low
light at high ISO speeds. Enhanced i-Contrast performance adjusts
differences between light and dark areas to achieve even more
natural-looking results. The faster processing speed also results
in faster continuous shooting capability while maintaining full
image quality. The DIGIC 5 Image Processor also makes possible a
new, highly advanced automatic white balance system. Whereas
conventional white balance makes an overall adjustment based on a
single type of light source, the new Canon Multi-Area White
Balance analyzes several areas of the image to determine whether
different adjustments are needed, for example, for the main
subject and the background.
Memorable Moments in Spectacular Full HD
----------------------------------------
Canon Full HD Video Advantage
-----------------------------
In addition to the Canon HS SYSTEM, the combination of the
advanced CMOS sensor and DIGIC 5 Image Processor in the Power
ELPH 320 HS makes it possible to shoot crisp, clear high
definition video. Imagine the fun and excitement of being able to
shoot spectacular 1080p Full HD video with stereo sound that you
can later watch on your HDTV or download to your computer to
share with family and friends. In addition to being able to shoot
Full HD 1080p video at 24* frames per second, the Power ELPH
320 HS can also shoot 720p HD video at 30** frames per second.
Dedicated Movie Button, Wind filter feature and Optical Zoom for
easy video capture
-----------------------------------------------------------------
It’s never been easier to shoot videos with a Power digital
camera. The Power ELPH 320 HS has a dedicated movie button
that lets you start and stop instantly. There is no
need to go through layers of menus or operate switches or dials
to switch to and from video mode. The camera is always
ready to shoot stills or video whenever you want. The Power
ELPH 320 HS also incorporates an electronic wind filter, which
suppresses wind noise that can muffle or distort the sound. And
unlike less sophisticated point and shoot cameras, the Power
ELPH 320 HS lets you use the full range of optical zoom when
you're shooting a video.
HDTV playback via HDMI output and CEC
-------------------------------------
It's easy to enjoy and share the videos you shoot with the
Power ELPH 320 HS. Simply connect its HDMI terminal to your
HDTV using an HDMI cable. And because the Power ELPH 320 HS
supports HDMI CEC technology, you'll be able to control the
playback of your images and videos on any CEC enabled HDTV using
the TV’s remote control. (CEC – Consumer Electronic Control –
is part of the HDMI specification, enabling components in a
system to communicate with one another.)
iFrame
------
With the Power ELPH 320 HS, you can also shoot video in the
Apple® iFrame format, which is a computer friendly standard that
speeds up importing and editing of videos. It keeps file sizes
small, making it more convenient to upload or e mail high quality
videos. The iFrame format enjoys native support in compatible Mac
and Windows video applications, making it unnecessary to perform
timeÂconsuming and often quality degrading conversions.
The Leading Edge of Design and Technology
-----------------------------------------
Beautifully and Astonishingly Thin
----------------------------------
At 0.82 inches, the Power ELPH 320 HS is an incredibly slim
camera with a 24mm Wide Angle lens, 5x Optical Zoom, and Optical
Image Stabilizer. Its stylish form is enhanced by its lustrous
finish, which gives you a choice of four refined colors: Blue,
Red, Silver and Black. But real beauty goes beyond skin deep with
the Power ELPH 320 HS digital camera. Amazingly, Canon did
not sacrifice performance for style.
5x Optical Zoom with 24mm Wide-Angle Lens
-----------------------------------------
The Power ELPH 320 HS features a powerful Genuine Canon 5x
Zoom Lens that delivers outstanding optical performance and
versatility. Fitting such a high performance lens with such wide
zoom range into a camera so thin would normally be considered an
impossible feat. Canon's expert optical engineering met the
challenge by developing a light folding retractable prism lens
barrel, which achieves outstanding compactness with high zoom
power and superb performance. The zoom starts at 24mm wide angle
and extends to 120mm telephoto (35mm equivalent), covering an
exceptionally wide range. The telephoto reach gives you the
freedom to capture subjects from a considerable distance, while
the 24mm wide-angle makes it easy to shoot sweeping landscapes,
large groups of people and tall buildings.
Optical Image Stabilizer
------------------------
Handheld shooting can often lead to camera shake, making photos
and videos blurry. Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer is a
sophisticated system that uses lens shift technology to correct
for unwanted camera movement. It makes handheld photography more
practical, providing excellent image quality in many difficult
shooting situations: outdoors at dusk, inside without a flash,
and even at the telephoto end of the zoom range without a tripod.
For photos, it enables shooting at slower shutter speeds,
accommodating more low light shooting situations than ever before
without having to boost ISO sensitivity. With camera shake and
vibration reduced, you get a sharper, steadier image. And because
it is an optical system, there is none of the image degradation
typical with electronic image stabilizers.
Get the You Want with Just a Touch
---------------------------------------
PureColor LCD System
--------------------
The Power ELPH 320 HS digital camera's large and bright 3.2
inch PureColor LCD wide screen makes it easy to view and frame
your s in high resolution (461,000 dots). PureColor
technology delivers excellent contrast with rich, true to life
color. Many LCD screens on the market today use a striped
arrangement of dots that works great for text and menus, but is
not ideal for imagery. The Power ELPH 320 HS's PureColor
System LCD uses a delta arrangement of dots, which works better
for the nature of photos and videos, allowing you to
review your images with exceptional clarity with rich, true to
life color. Moreover, you can view the LCD screen over a
surprisingly wide angle – above, below or to either side –
without color shifts and with minimal reflections. A scratchproof
hard coating and a dustÂrepellent fluorine coating ensure a
durable screen that dependably displays clear, vibrant images.
The wide aspect ratio (16:9) provides ample room for information
icons and touch buttons, preventing them from getting in the way
of the image, and you can enjoy a brilliant full screen image
when shooting or playing back your Full HD videos.
Touch Panel LCD with Touch Shutter
----------------------------------
The Power ELPH 320 HS features touch panel technology that
makes using the camera more intuitive and fun. Simply touch the
screen to choose and track an AF point, change camera settings,
record and play videos and much, much more! It also has an
innovative Touch Shutter function that allows you to release the
shutter right from the screen. Just touch the desired subject
with your finger. An AF box will appear and track the subject as
it moves. Then just lift your finger to release the shutter. It's
that simple.
A Smarter Camera Means Better Photos and Videos
-----------------------------------------------
Smart AUTO
----------
Smart AUTO for the Power ELPH 320 HS has been significantly
expanded, making it easier than ever to capture the sharp,
bright, colorful images – and videosyou're looking for. By
assessing various factors in both the background and the subject,
the system recognizes 58 predefined shooting situations and
automatically selects the camera settings that will yield the
best possible results. Simply frame the you want, and in
dozens of common or challenging scenarios the camera takes care
of the rest. Hard to capture s such as moving subjects, night
scenes, backlit subjects, and landscapes at evening or on a
bright snowy day are instantly and effortlessly captured as
keeper s. Smart AUTO makes the Power ELPH 320 HS ideal
for capturing excellent quality still images and video on the go.
Shooting Modes/Specialn Scene Modes
-----------------------------------
Smart AUTO The camera automatically selects the best shooting
settings for optimal quality based on subjects and environmental
factors to provide point-and-shoot simplicity. Program The camera
automatically and intelligently selects the aperture/shutter
speed combination based on the shooting conditions. Movie Digest
in 720p HD Records a video clip in 720p HD before capturing a
still image and then combines one day's worth of clips into a
video. Portrait Brings the subject into focus while beautifully
blurring the background. Smooth Skin Removes dullness, s,
and harsh shadows for beautiful faces. Smart Shutter The camera
automatically takes the photo when people smile, wink, or get
into frame. High Speed Burst Captures rapid action frame by
frame, by shooting continuously at a high speed while the shutter
button is held down. Handheld Night Scene Take clear and steady
pictures at night without the use of a tripod. Low Light For high
quality image capture in an amazing range of dimly lit

classic photographic distortion – without a fisheye lens.
Miniature Effect for Stills & Video Give images a miniature look
with an effect that emphasizes perspective by blurring the top
and bottom of the image. Toy Camera Effect Simulates photos taken
with toy or pinhole cameras, darkening the image at the edges to
create a vignette effect. Soft Focus Creates a hazy ambiance
tha's perfect for portraits and wedding photos. Monochrome Choose
from three single-tone effects: Black-and-White, Sepia, or Blue.
Super Vivid Super Vivid intensifies existing hues, saturating the
scene with bright colors. Effect Effect combines
several similar shades into one color, turning subtle gradations
into eye-catching, scene-popping contrasts. Color Accent Choose
to retain a single color in your image while other colors turn
monochrome. Color Swap Select a color and replace it with a color
you specify for special effects. Snow Shoot clear snow scenes
without darkened subjects or an unnatural bluish tint. Long

for urban night photography. iFrame Movie The Apple® movie
format, iFrame, makes it easier and quicker to import and upload
videos while retaining high image quality. Super Slow Motion
Movie Record your clips in high speed (approx. 240 fps), and then
watch your videos in slow motion.
Face ID
-------
Face ID is one of the most advanced and exciting new features of
the Power ELPH 320 HS, giving you an easy way to improve
every of the people you love. Simply take a picture of up to
12 faces you would like the camera to register, then enter names
and ages. Once a person is registered, the camera will pick him
or her out of a group (even against a busy background) and adjust
focus and exposure to his or her face, even recognizing faces in
profile. Face ID is particularly great for s of babies and
children. The system can pick your baby out of a group of
children, focus on your baby when pictured with an adult, and
capture her best smile by taking three successive images when the
smile is detected. The flash is even disabled so as not to
startle the baby and interrupt the moment. Older children in
motion are tracked, with focus and exposure continually adjusted
with Servo AF; with one shutter press three successive images are
captured so the best is never missed. And because you'll
identify each face you register, Face ID makes it easy to search
images by name.
A Steady Image Is a Beautiful Image
-----------------------------------
Intelligent IS
--------------
The latest advance in Canon Optical Image Stabilization
technology, Intelligent IS analyzes camera movement and applies
the best shake correction method for the shooting situation. For
stills, the system automatically selects among Normal, Panning,
Macro (Hybrid) and Tripod IS modes. When shooting video, the
system automatically selects among Dynamic, Powered, Macro and
Tripod IS modes. With Intelligent IS, you can concentrate on
image capture, letting the camera make the most effective IS
settings to assure the steadiest possible image.
Normal Corrects for a wide range of camera movement when shooting
stills.
Panning Panning motion is detected so that IS does not interfere
with desired camera movement.
Macro (Hybrid) Corrects for shift-type camera shake, which
typically occurs in macro (close-up) shooting.
Dynamic Effective for video shooting at wide-angle focal lengths,
eliminating the unwanted shaking that typically occurs while
walking.
Powered Compensates for hand movement when shooting video at the
telephoto end of the zoom range, where camera shake is magnified.
Tripod When tripod use is detected, the Image Stabilizer is
stopped because it is not needed.
