PowerShot G9 captures 12.1 Megapixels.
12.1 Megapixels
A 12.1 Megapixel with large 1/1.7" CCD sensor captures enough fine detail for creative cropping and superb quality poster-size prints.
6x optical zoom with optical Image Stabilizer
Optical Image Stabilizer technology counteracts the effect of camera shake, allowing slower shutter speeds in low-light. The 6x optical zoom affords framing flexibility with pin-sharp clarity and reduced ghosting thanks to Canon’s exclusive SR coating.
RAW image recording
RAW mode records images exactly as they are captured by the sensor - with no processing and no compression. RAW Image Task software then gives you total control over image settings and parameters for post-shoot editing. Simultaneous RAW and JPEG recording is also an option for maximum convenience and flexibility.
DIGIC III with advanced Noise Reduction
The DIGIC III processor delivers high-speed performance, superior colour rendition and cleaner images at high ISO speeds. iSAPS technology uses shooting scene data to optimise camera settings before a shot is taken.
Face Detection AF/AE/FE
Face Detection Technology ensures superb people shots by automatically setting optimum focus, exposure and flash. Face Select and Track lets you choose your primary subject from up to 35 identified faces. Red-Eye Correction in playback keeps eyes looking natural.
9-point AiAF and FlexiZone AF/AE
Enjoy greater versatility with a choice of focusing options. Switch between manual focus, rapid 9-point AiAF or FlexiZone AF/AE to manually select a specific auto-focus point.
Huge 3.0" LCD screen
The 3.0" high-resolution PureColor LCD II features a scratch-resistant, low-reflection coating to handle sunny conditions and enhance colour reproduction. A wide viewing angle with high contrast improves your view from every angle.
ISO 1600 and Auto ISO Shift
ISO 1600 combines with optical Image Stabilizer to counteract image blur. A dedicated ISO dial allows quick selection of ISO settings, while Auto ISO Shift automatically increases ISO to further reduce the risk of blurring.
Shooting Modes
25 shooting modes range from automatic to full manual control, including two custom settings. Apply in-camera colour effects during or after shooting with My Colors.
Accessories
Full range of options includes wide and tele converter lenses, waterproof case (40m depth) and Canon EX Speedlite flash accessories with wireless control.
