Precision Canon Optics
12x Optical Zoom with 28mm Wide-Angle Lens
The Power SX150 IS features a powerful Genuine Canon 12x
Zoom Lens that delivers outstanding optical performance and
versatility. With precision engineering and decades of leadership
in optical technologies, Canon has created a bright, wide-angle
lens that provides an extraordinary 12x zoom range. The lens
starts at 28mm wide-angle and extends to 336mm telephoto (35mm
equivalent), giving you tremendous coverage and reach. The
telephoto end lets you capture subjects from a considerable
distance, while the 28mm wide-angle makes it easy to shoot
sweeping landscapes, large groups of people and tall buildings.
Moreover, this superlative lens incorporates innovative designs
that enable it to fit the compact profile of the Power SX150
IS and perform at high speed with low power consumption.
Optical Image Stabilizer
Handheld shooting can often lead to camera shake, making photos
and videos blurry. Canon’s Optical Image Stabilizer is a
sophisticated system that uses lens-shift technology to correct
for unwanted camera movement. It makes handheld photography more
practical in more shooting situations, providing excellent image
quality in many difficult situations: outdoors at dusk, inside
without a flash, and even at the telephoto end of the zoom range
without a tripod. For still photos, it enables shooting at slower
shutter speeds, accommodating more low-light shooting situations
than ever before without having to boost ISO sensitivity. With
camera shake and vibration reduced, you get a sharper, steadier
image. And because it is an optical system, there is none of the
image degradation typical with electronic image stabilizers.
Powerful Performance for Better Images
14.1 Megapixel Sensor
A 14.1 Megapixel sensor delivers beautiful photos with fine
detail and brilliant color. The high resolution ensures superb
image quality even when cropping or making very large prints.
Canon DIGIC 4 Image Processor
Canon DIGIC Image Processors have set the standard for
functionality and performance since their groundbreaking
introduction in 1999. With each successive generation, DIGIC
processors have brought elevated performance and powerful new
features to Power digital cameras. The DIGIC 4 processor has
ushered in a new level of picture quality and accelerated
processing, making possible features such as high-speed
continuous shooting, Full HD video and Face Detection Self-timer.
New, more powerful noise reduction algorithms also provide
improved low-light capture.
A Smarter Camera Means Better Photos and Videos
Smart AUTO
The Power SX150 IS features Smart AUTO – sophisticated Canon
technology that makes getting that great as simple as
pressing the shutter button. Smart AUTO automatically detects
scenes by assessing various factors in both the background and
the subject. Detected scenes are analyzed using 32 predefined
shooting situations. The camera then makes optimal settings to
ensure the best possible image capture, whether you’re shooting
stills or video. Smart AUTO also includes Advanced Subject
Detection, which allows the camera to detect and track non-human
moving subjects like animals and vehicles. With Smart AUTO, all
you have to do is frame your and capture away.
Shooting Modes/Special Scene Modes
Smart AUTO
The camera automatically selects the best shooting settings for
optimal quality based on subjects and environmental factors to
provide point-and-shoot simplicity.

Dedicated Movie Button, Wind Filter and Optical Zoom While
Shooting
It’s never been easier to shoot videos with a Power digital
camera. The Power SX150 IS has a dedicated movie button that
lets you start and stop instantly. There is no need to
go through layers of menus or operate switches or dials to switch
to and from video mode. The camera is always ready to
shoot stills or video whenever you want. The Power SX150 IS
also incorporates an electronic wind filter, which suppresses
wind noise that can muffle or distort the sound. And unlike less
sophisticated point-and-shoot cameras, the Power SX150 IS
lets you use the full 12x range of optical zoom when you’re
shooting a video without sacrificing HD video resolution.
iFrame Movie Support
With the Power SX150 IS, you can also shoot video in the
Apple iFrame format, which is a computer-friendly standard that
speeds up importing and editing of videos. It keeps file sizes
small, making it more convenient to upload or e-mail high-quality
videos. The iFrame format enjoys native support in compatible Mac
and Windows video applications, making it unnecessary to perform
time-consuming and often quality-degrading conversions.
A Steady Image Is a Beautiful Image
Intelligent IS
The latest advance in Canon Optical Image Stabilization
technology, Intelligent IS analyzes camera movement and applies
the best shake correction method for the shooting situation. For
stills, the system automatically selects among Normal, Panning,
Macro (Hybrid) and Tripod IS modes. When shooting video, the
system automatically selects among Dynamic, Powered, Macro and
Tripod IS modes. With Intelligent IS, you can concentrate on
image capture, letting the camera make the most effective IS
settings to assure the steadiest possible image.
Normal
Corrects for a wide range of camera movement when shooting
stills. Panning
Panning motion is detected so that IS does not interfere with
desired camera movement. Hybrid
Corrects for shift-type camera shake, which typically occurs in
macro (close-up) shooting. Dynamic
Effective for video shooting at wide-angle focal lengths,
eliminating the unwanted shaking that typically occurs while
walking. Powered
Compensates for hand movement when shooting video at the
telephoto end of the zoom range, where camera shake is magnified.
Tripod
When tripod use is detected, the Image Stabilizer is stopped
because it is not needed.
