The PowerShot S45, featuring a high-resolution 1/1.8″ 4-megapixel CCD and a compact high-performance 3x optical zoom lens (equivalent to 35-105 mm in 35 mm format), supercedes the PowerShot S40 released in October 2001.
The PowerShot S45 incorporates new innovations for enhanced image quality, functionality and operability. These include an increase from 3-point to 9-point AiAF, ensuring accurate autofocus performance with unrestricted framing, regardless of the position of the subject within the viewfinder. Moreover, Canon’s SI (Super Intelligent) sensor automatically detects the camera’s orientation, ensuring optimum Auto-Focus, Auto-Exposure and Auto-White Balance performance when used in the vertical position. The SI sensor also automatically orients the image correctly for previewing.
Featuring a stylish body designed for improved handling, portability and ease of use, the PowerShot S45 also incorporates many of the high-end features of the PowerShot G3-including a plethora of manual setting-to satisfy the needs of even advanced users.
