• 2.5" LCD

• Face Detection technology
  A suite of Face Detection technologies detects multiple faces in a scene and adjusts focus, exposure, flash settings and white balance - for optimal results with natural-looking skin tones. Auto red-eye correction identifies and removes the red-eye effect that can occur when shooting with flash.

  As well as powering intelligent camera technologies such as smart auto, Canon's DIGIC III processor ensures fast response times, superb image quality, advanced noise reduction and accurate color reproduction.

  Supplement your still images with fun 30fps VGA movie clips with sound. A long play mode lets you store twice as much footage on the camera's memory card.
