The compact-body Canon PowerShot SX210 IS is packed with such high-performance features as a 14x optical zoom lens, HD movie recording, a high-resolution 14.1-megapixel CCD sensor, and a 3.0-inch Wide LCD monitor. The popular Smart Auto mode newly includes Smart FE (Flash Exposure), which improves image quality by automatically controlling flash illumination, shutter speed, aperture and ISO speed.
The SX210 IS’s HD movie function delivers a range of convenient features to support outstanding video-capture performance. In addition to recording high-resolution 1,280 x 720 pixel video and high-quality stereo audio, the camera also allows users to take advantage of the 14x optical zoom while shooting movies to capture facial expressions and get close to the action. Additionally, the camera’s special Movie Button ensures that no movie-taking opportunity is lost. With the push of a button, users can immediately begin recording movies, even when shooting still images.
The Smart Auto feature also ensures optimum results when taking movies by automatically selecting ideal settings and image processing based on 18 predefined shooting situations. Additionally, the Dynamic mode effectively compensates for pronounced camera shake such as that which can occur when shooting video while walking. The Canon PowerShot SX210 IS’s built-in HDMI mini connector (HDMI cable sold separately) supports data transfer for the enjoyment of viewing high-resolution still images and HD movies on large-screen televisions.
