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.
