Canon digital camera innovations have
always been at the forefront of photographic
innovations and their compact digital
cameras package a variety of functions
into a deceptively small Canon digital
camera body. These are particularly attractive
to a wide range of users because of their
light weight, ease of use, high image
quality and high functionality. Canon
digital camera experts are highly experienced
in camera manufacturer, leading-edge optical
technology, ultra high-precision mounting
technology, electronic device technology
and color management technology amongst
others. All of this experience and expertise
is combined to produce the Canon digital
camera PowerShot series and the PowerShot
DIGITAL ELPH/DIGITAL IXUS series.
Throughout their continuing research,
the Canon digital camera development team
has collected a large amount of photographic
data and also made broad statistical analyses
of the frequency involved in taking photographs.
This data led to the creation of the Canon
digital camera Photographic Space which
is a graphical database of information
relating to the relationship between surrounding
brightness and distance between a Canon
digital camera and the subject relative
to the focal length and position of the
zoom lens when pictures are taken.
The Canon digital camera Photographic
Space led to the development of a new
scene-recognition technology called "iSAPS"
(intelligent Scene Analysis based on Photographic
Space) Technology. Canon digital camera
iSAPS Technology analyses the scene to
be photographed and makes optimal adjustments
of a number of key functions, including
auto-focus, before the shutter is pressed.
The Canon digital camera iSAPS Technology
closely estimates the camera-to-subject
distance based on the lens focal length,
zoom position and surrounding brightness
which guarantees the most accurate exposure
and white balance settings for the overall
conditions.
At the high end of the Canon digital
camera range are their single-lens reflex,
or SLR, cameras. The Canon digital camera
company has created ultra-high-precision
imaging elements and high-performance
digital imaging engines so that their
digital SLR cameras possess the same ease
of operation as their 35mm film counterparts
but produce exceptionally high-quality
images.
The Canon digital camera imaging engine,
or DIGIC II, creates image data from signals
output from a CMOS, or complementary metal
oxide semiconductor, sensor. The CMOS
sensor is really the brain of any digital
camera. Canon developed the Canon digital
camera DIGIC II high-performance imaging
engine directly due to the increasingly
high resolution CMOS sensors. With the
help of a high-capacity DDRS DRAM (double
data rate SDRAM) as the buffer memory,
the Canon digital camera DIGIC II processes
high-resolution images at ultra-high speeds.
