The PowerShot SX710 HS, despite its slim body with a thickness of approximately 34.8 mm, features a 25–750 mm (35 mm film equivalent) 30x optical zoom lens that, through ZoomPlus, can be digitally extended to approximately 60x while maintaining high imaging performance.
Combining a high-sensitivity approximately 20.3 million effective pixel CMOS image sensor and Canon's high-performance DIGIC 6 image processor, the SX710 achieves exceptional imaging results with reduced blur and noise even when shooting in low-light conditions. Furthermore, the camera offers improved image stabilization with 5-axis Advanced Dynamic IS, which includes a newly added “high” setting to ensure steady image capture even when shooting while running.

Built-in Wi-Fi technology lets users easily transfer photos and videos to a smartphone, tablet or other mobile device,^*1 or to a PC, an online photo album or any of a variety of social networking and media sites,^*2 as well as to a Wi-Fi-equipped printer. Additionally, built-in NFC (Near Field Communication) technology eliminates the need to manually find and open the Canon Camera Connect app on a user's mobile device. By simply touching the NFC icon on the camera to a compatible Android™ device,^*3 the Camera Connect app will launch automatically for the quick, easy sharing of images.^*4

Zoom Framing Assist makes zooming in and framing subjects quick and effortless, a feature that is particularly beneficial when taking advantage of the SX710 HS’s high zoom magnification. Should users lose sight of their subject when zooming in, a press of the Zoom Framing Assist button will quickly cause the lens to zoom out so the subject can be re-located and framed accordingly.
