The G Series comes full circle. You asked, and Canon not only listened, but
delivered big-time. Advanced amateurs who have overwhelmingly embraced the G
Series will be delighted with PowerShot G11, which features RAW mode for
unlimited editing options, a 28mm wide-angle lens, and a 2.8-inch Vari-Angle
PureColor System LCD. Add to that Canon’s new High Sensitivity System and
high-speed ISO for incredible image quality, and Canon’s top-range compact
digital camera is a truly groundbreaking successor.
PowerShot G11 Highlights
New 10-megapixel sensor coupled with Canon’s DIGIC 4 Image Processor
The PowerShot G11 employs a newly developed, 10-megapixel High Sensitivity
System by combining a powerful CCD sensor and Canon’s DIGIC 4 Image Processor.
Thanks to this technological advancement, the G11 is dramatically more sensitive
than cameras with identical megapixel counts, and delivers spectacular images
with minimal noise. Increased sensitivity demands a higher ISO speed, and the
PowerShot G11 delivers with a new maximum setting of ISO 3200. Blur and camera
shake are notably reduced for the ultimate in sharpness and clarity.
In addition, a new Low Light mode lets you capture images in an astonishing
range of conditions. The camera automatically adjusts the ISO speed from ISO 320
to ISO 12800 in relation to ambient brightness, subject movement and camera
shake.
Full range of shooting and recording modes including RAW + JPEG
The PowerShot G11’s RAW mode lets you shoot images without JPEG compression. It
gives you clearer images and complete creative control in editing. RAW images
are transferred directly to the computer where they can then be edited using
image adjustment software or a processing application to adjust your images as
you please. The camera can also be set to allow the simultaneous recording of
both RAW and JPEG images while shooting.
Also, with 26 Shooting Modes, you're ready for whatever shot comes your way.
Large, bright 2.8-inch Vari-Angle LCD
The PowerShot G11 gives you a large 2.8-inch PureColor System LCD screen for
excellent control when framing your shots. But size is only part of the story.
Canon’s PureColor System LCD offers spectacular color, resolution and contrast
even at an angle. The screen is durable and easy to see. It is a perfect feature
for gathering friends and family around to see your images.
Optional accessories including Speedlite flashes, underwater housing and
Tele-Converter Lens
The PowerShot G11 is compatible with the Speedlite flash series intended for all
EOS series SLR cameras. Attach a Speedlite flash to the hot shoe, then you can
set and control the flash on the "Flash Control" menu in the camera. With a
Speedlight, the G11 is given extra functions such as autoflash metering, FE lock
and Flash exposure compensation; continuous shooting with external flash. Also
Canon’s Speedlite Transmitter ST-E2 enables you to have multiple slave flashes
and wireless control. A Tele-Converter lens designed for the G11 and WP-DC34
Waterproof Case are also available.
Wide-angle 5x optical zoom (equivalent to 28-140mm) with Canon’s Optical
Image Stabilizer
5x optical zoom in action
The camera is equipped with a long, 5x Optical Zoom, and Canon’s own Optical
Image Stabilizer Technology keeps images steady and blur-free all through the
zoom range--even in low light--by detecting motion and generating a corrective
signal. Because it is an optical system, more corrective movement is allowed and
there is no degradation of image quality.
The G11 is a highly versatile camera with a wide-angle zoom lens that reaches
all the way from 28mm at the wide end to 140mm at the telephoto end (35mm format
equivalent). You’ll capture more image in every shot, and add greater depth to
your overall photography.
DIGIC 4 Image Processor
Canon’s proprietary DIGIC Image Processors have long set its cameras apart from
the competition, and the new DIGIC 4 sets the bar even higher. Faster, more
accurate noise reduction delivers better image quality, even at high ISO speeds.
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 advanced DIGIC 4 Image
Processor to improve focus speed and accuracy, as well as exposure and white
balance.
A new Face Self-Timer automatically detects an increase in the
number of faces and makes the appropriate adjustments. For instance, to include
a photographer’s face in a group shot, there’s no need to rush in. Just put the
camera on a stand or tripod, select the Face Self-Timer, and the camera will
wait for the photographer’s face to get on-camera before it takes the shot.
Motion Detection now tracks moving subjects in a much larger range, and the new
Servo AF retains focus on a moving subject after the shutter button is pressed
halfway – allowing you to wait for the perfect shot without refocusing. Also,
Face Detection and Motion Detection are markedly improved.
Intelligent Contrast Correction
DIGIC 4 also makes possible the new i-Contrast (Intelligent Contrast Correction)
system, which controls the compensation level in pixel units to brighten dark
areas while leaving bright areas unchanged for better images where the main
subject is dark, and more natural transition. The PowerShot G11 can even use i-Contrast
in playback mode to adjust images that were shot without the setting activated.
Red-eye Correction provides options for removing red-eye from
subjects in flash pictures.
1) The Red-eye Correction during shooting actually identifies and corrects
red-eye in human subjects as pictures are taken.
2) The G11 can be set to automatically detect and correct red-eye during image
playback.
Life doesn’t give you second chances to capture special times. That’s why the
G11 features ISO 3200 to reduce the effects of camera shake and sharpen subjects
in low-light situations, giving you greater shooting flexibility.
HDMI output for viewing still images on an HDTV
With the advanced PowerShot G11, you can capture breathtaking, high-resolution
still images and impressive standard definition movies with ease. The camera
also makes it simple to enjoy and share your stills and SD movies with a
mini-HDMI connector for direct connection to a high-definition monitor or HDTV,
so every color and nuance can be appreciated like you intended them to be.
Improved Smart AUTO intelligently selects the proper setting
Just set the Canon PowerShot G11 to Smart AUTO and you're ready for maximum
enjoyment from your picture taking every time. It's a relaxing and satisfying
way to shoot because you can completely concentrate on your subject knowing that
the camera has the technical details covered. Advanced Canon technology
intelligently analyzes your situation and shooting conditions. Then it
automatically selects an appropriate setting from specially defined settings. So
whether you're photographing flowers, a captivating sunset, or your friends at
the park, you can be confident that you're getting dramatic, memorable images.
