ELPH S100 Sleek and Serious
The Power S100 is a sophisticated pocket-friendly
point-and-shoot digital camera that has the power advanced users
and enthusiasts need to create standout images. As with other
Power cameras, the compact Power S100 incorporates all of
the advanced Canon technologies that make capturing superb photos
and video as easy as pressing a button. As automatic or manual as
you need it to be, the Power S100 is a serious photographic
tool, which incorporates the Canon HS SYSTEM, now featuring the
new DIGIC 5 Image Processor. The fast f/2.0 lens helps you tackle
unfavorable lighting and capture breathtaking portraits with
beautiful, shallow depth-of-field. 12.1 Megapixels ensure crisp,
richly detailed images, and a 5x Optical Zoom provides an
excellent all-around range to shoot near or far.

Canon DIGIC 5 Image Processor
The latest-generation Canon DIGIC 5 Image Processor brings
phenomenal increases in processing speed and power. Improved chip
architecture and algorithms deliver greatly expanded
functionality with further refinement in image quality.
Improved noise reduction produces clearer images when shooting
in low light at high ISO speeds. Enhanced i-Contrast performance
adjusts differences between light and dark areas to achieve even
more natural-looking results.
The faster processing speed also results in faster continuous
shooting capability while maintaining full image quality. The
DIGIC 5 Image Processor also makes possible a new, highly
advanced automatic white balance system. Whereas conventional
white balance makes an overall adjustment based on a single type
of light source, the new Canon Multi-Area White Balance analyzes
several areas of the image to determine whether different
adjustments are needed, for example, for the main subject and the
background.

Canon CMOS Sensor
The Power S100 digital camera employs a new Canon 12.1
Megapixel CMOS sensor. Inheriting much of the advanced technology
developed for Canon EOS DSLR cameras, this sensor delivers
state-of-the-art imaging performance and is optimized for use in
compact cameras, such as the Power S100. Utilizing a
sophisticated light-capturing design, it provides high
sensitivity for improved high ISO capture without increased
noise. It is also a high-speed design, capable of rapidly
capturing and moving image data to the processor, enabling faster
continuous shooting and faster autofocus.
Canon HS SYSTEM
The Canon HS SYSTEM lets you take bright, clear photos in an
even wider range of shooting situations. Beautiful low-light
s are possible with minimal noise and maximum detail in
highlight and shadow areas. The system is the result of two
technologies brought together in Power cameras: a
high-sensitivity imaging sensor, which is able to capture more
light; and the DIGIC Image Processor, which actively reduces
noise with high-speed image processing. The 12.1 Megapixel Canon
CMOS sensor in the Power S100 incorporates advanced light
reception technology that enhances sensitivity. The new DIGIC 5
Image Processor provides a major boost in noise reduction,
expanding the usable ISO range to an amazing high of ISO 6400.
The Canon HS SYSTEM thus lets you use higher shutter speeds to
capture clearer images with reduced noise and blur.
Memorable Moments in Spectacular FULL HD
In addition to the Canon HS SYSTEM, the combination of the
advanced CMOS sensor and DIGIC 5 Image Processor in the Power
S100 makes it possible to shoot crisp, clear high definition
video. Imagine the fun and excitement of being able to shoot
spectacular 1080p Full HD video with stereo sound that you can
later watch on your HDTV or download to your computer to share
with family and friends. In addition to being able to shoot Full
HD 1080p video at 24* frames per second, the Power S100 can
also shoot 720p HD video at 30** frames per second.
HDTV Playback via HDMI with CEC Support
It's easy to enjoy and share the videos you shoot with the
Power S100. Simply connect its HDMI terminal to your HDTV
using an HDMI cable. And because the Power S100 supports
HDMI-CEC technology, youíll be able to control the playback of
your images and videos on any CEC-enabled HDTV using the TVís
remote control. (CEC ñ Consumer Electronic Control ñ is part of
the HDMI specification, enabling components in a system to
communicate with one another.)
iFrame Movie Support
It’s easy to enjoy and share the videos you shoot with the
Power S100. Simply connect its HDMI terminal to your HDTV
using an HDMI cable (included). And because the Power S100
supports HDMI-CEC technology, you’ll be able to control the
playback of your images and videos on any CEC-enabled HDTV using
the TV’s remote control. (CEC – Consumer Electronic Control – is
part of the HDMI specification, enabling components in a system
to communicate with one another.)

Full range of Shooting and Modes Including RAW + JPEG
The Power S100 lets you shoot in RAW mode, which captures
images that are uncompressed and essentially unprocessed by the
camera. Often the choice of advanced photographers, RAW images
can be processed in your computer using Canon DPP (Digital Photo
Professional) or other compatible third-party software. Creative
control is completely in your hands as you adjust a wide range of
variables to produce exactly the final image you want. The camera
can also be set to allow the simultaneous of both RAW
and JPEG images while shooting.
Control Ring
Focus, Exposure, ISO, Step Zoom, or White Balance can now be
adjusted more quickly and conveniently with the Power S100’s
control ring. Located at the base of the lens barrel, the ring is
more intuitive than other types of controls for many experienced
photographers. The functions that can be assigned to the control
ring vary with shooting mode, and you can set your preferences
quickly using the dedicated ring function selector button.
GPS Technology
The Power S100 digital camera is equipped with Global
Positioning System (GPS)* technology. Now you can travel the
world and let the camera automatically record the locations and
local times of your stills and videos. The camera can also use
the GPS unit to automatically set the exact time. You can
maximize the usefulness of the GPS feature by using the special
bundled Utility software that makes it fun to share the
memories of your world adventures. In addition to displaying all
your photos’ locations on a world , the camera’s GPS system
can also track your route from photo to photo – a great way to
visualize each trip! You can also create and share custom s
and personal mini-travel guides with friends and family members.
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.
Shooting Modes/Special Scene Modes
Custom Define and store your own settings to achieve the effects
you prefer.
Manual
You have complete control of exposure, selecting both aperture
and shutter speed manually.
Aperture-Priority
You set the aperture, controlling depth-of-field. The camera

noise reduction system activates to ensure low image noise.
Program Access advanced exposure compensation features while
shooting mostly automatically.
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.

Miniature Effect for Movies & Stills Emphasizes perspectives for
a miniature effect by blurring upper and bottom portions of the
image. Toy Camera Effect Simulates photos taken with "toy" or
pinhole cameras, darkening the image at the edges to create a
vignette effect. Effect Effect combines several
similar shades into one color, turning subtle gradations into
eye-catching, scene-popping contrasts. Monochrome Choose from
three single-tone effects: Black-and-White, Sepia, or Blue. Super
