The new Canon PowerShot S1 IS features a high-powered retractable zoom lens that enables 10x optical magnification for a zoom range equivalent to 38-380mm in 35mm format. Supporting optimal image quality in the telephoto range, the new camera incorporates Canon’s renowned shift-type optical Image Stabilizer -previously introduced as the industry’s first for a digital camera- enabling the handheld capture of shots that would otherwise be blurred by camera shake.
In addition to featuring a 3.2-megapixel CCD sensor, the new Canon PowerShot S1 IS broadens shooting possibilities by offering full-fledged movie recording capability.Offering 30 frame-per-second video capture and resolution up to VGA fine (640×480), the new camera allows users to take smooth movie images with quality approaching that of a digital video camcorder. Also, depending on the resolution setting and capacity of the memory card, individual movie clips can be recorded for up to 60 minutes (maximum file size 1GB). Assisting video capture, the model maintains Auto-Focus, Auto-Exposure and Auto-White-Balance operation while also permitting manual control of such functions as zooming and AF/AE lock while filming.
The unit also employs Canon’s high-speed, low-noise Ultrasonic Motor (USM), the world’s first lens-based USM, to minimize noise associated with zooming.
