• Better shots, easier replay
  Large 2.5 inch LCD screen and optical viewfinder for easy on-camera viewing. PowerShot SD600 Digital ELPH incorporates a large 2.5 inch LCD screen for a truly eye-opening view. This high-resolution screen offers a crisp, clear picture and wider viewing angle to make shooting, playback and using the camera's menu functions especially convenient. And when you're shooting at dusk or at night, the Night Display function lets you see the display clearly. It brightens the object while you compose your shot by reducing the frame rate on the LCD screen.
• Canon innovation enhances your experience
  New ISO 800 reduces image blur and expands low-light shooting ability. The PowerShot SD600 Digital ELPH features new ISO 800 and High ISO Auto settings that reduce the effects of camera shake and sharpen subjects in low-light situations with high shutter speeds, giving you greater flexibility for shooting.
• Advanced imaging technology improves every photo
  DIGIC II Image Processor and iSAPS Technology for superior image quality, faster operation and lower power consumption
  • DIGIC II Image Processor
    Canon's DIGIC II Image Processor is designed to improve processing speed and image quality, so DIGIC II provides markedly faster startup, autofocus and playback, plus it assures that every image is more colorfully vibrant.
  • iSAPS Technology
    iSAPS Technology is an entirely original scene-recognition technology developed for digital cameras by Canon. Using an internal database of thousands of different photos, iSAPS works with the fast DIGIC II Image Processor to improve focus speed and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance.
