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
The DIGIC 4 Image 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
- Canon HD Video Advantage
The PowerShot SX500 IS lets you record highly detailed 720p HD video at 25
frames per second with clear stereo sound. Watching your videos and sharing
them with family and friends is especially easy with the camera's HDMI output:
you can connect the camera directly to your HDTV with an optional HDMI cable
- Dedicated Movie Button, Wind Filter and Optical Zoom While Shooting
The PowerShot SX500 IS has a dedicated movie button that lets you start and
stop recording instantly. The camera also incorporates an electronic wind
filter, which suppresses wind noise that can muffle or distort the sound.
And the PowerShot SX500 IS lets you use the full range of optical zoom when
you're shooting a video, without sacrificing HD video resolution
- High-Resolution 3.0-inch LCD
Composing and checking your shots is easier with PowerShot SX500 IS's clear,
high-resolution LCD. The extra resolution also makes using the camera's menu
functions more convenient. Clear and bright, it also features Night Display
for easy viewing in low light
- Enhanced Zoom Framing Assist Button
With its 30x Optical Zoom lens, the PowerShot SX500 IS has the telephoto reach
to capture subjects a long distance away. Zoom Framing Assist makes it much
easier to use the camera's powerful zoom lens. When you press and hold the
Zoom Framing Assist function button, the camera will automatically zoom out
to include a wider angle of view, enabling you to more easily locate your
moving subject. Once you find it, releasing the button will cause the lens
to return to its original zoom position, intelligently keeping the subject
in focus until you're ready to shoot and capture the perfect close-up moment.
For enhanced versatility, the PowerShot SX500 IS now allows you to make adjustments
to zoom while the button is pressed, with an animated assist frame that makes
viewing easy. When the button is released, the lens will return to the adjusted
zoom position
- High Speed AF
The PowerShot SX500 IS is equipped with Canon's latest advancements in Autofocus
(AF) technology. Canon's newly developed AF achieves a significant increase
in speed, for a shooting experience that's spontaneous and natural. The remarkably
responsive High Speed AF lets you capture great shots as they happen, with
reduced lag time. In addition to improved AF algorithms, the camera can process
multiple sequences simultaneously, and takes advantage of reworked controls
between AF and the start of shooting
