Features for Canon Powershot S90
High-sensitivity 10.0 MP sensor
A high-sensitivity CCD sensor gives outstanding image quality in a
wide variety of lighting conditions. Even images taken at high ISOs
show exceptionally low noise levels and a wide dynamic range.
Wide & bright
A bright f/2.0 aperture allows exceptional versatility, capturing
low-light images and fast-moving subjects at higher shutter speeds.
A wide angle of 28mm lets you put more in the frame, while Canon’s
optical IS reduces blur caused by camera shake.
Compact control
The PowerShot S90 combines pocket-sized proportions with a
sophisticated lens Control Ring, to which functions such as step
zoom, exposure, focus, and ISO can be assigned for fast, easy
adjustment.

3.0” PureColor LCD II
A 3.0” PureColor LCD II screen (461K dots), with wide viewing angle,
makes framing and reviewing shots a pleasure.
Dual Anti-Noise System with DIGIC
4
Working with the high-sensitivity image sensor, Canon’s DIGIC 4
processor delivers vastly improved noise performance across the ISO
range. Shoot full-resolution images up to ISO 3200, or expand to ISO
12800 in (2.5MP) Low Light mode.
Full Manual control & RAW
For creative control while shooting, the PowerShot S90 features Full
Manual mode. The option of RAW shooting with support for Canon’s
Digital Photo Professional (DPP) software provides complete control
over image parameters during post-shoot editing.
Smart Auto and Shooting Modes
Smart Auto mode analyses subject brightness, contrast, distance, hue
and movement. Intelligent Scene Detection Technology then selects
the scene type from 22 variables, applying the best settings for
optimum output. 25 dedicated shooting modes are also available
including Nostalgic and VGA movies.
Intelligent technologies
For perfect portraits, Canon Face Detection technologies include
FaceSelf-Timer and Face Select & Track, which tracks focus for a
chosen person in the frame. Also included are Canon’s blur-beating
Motion Detection Technology and Servo AF/AE, for accurate focus and
exposure on moving subjects.
i-Contrast
In shooting or playback, enhanced i-Contrast optimises dynamic range
according to the scene - retaining detail in shadows and preventing
overexposure of highlights. The result is natural images with the
best possible contrast.

HDMI terminal
An HDMI mini output terminal lets you display still shots on any
HDMI compatible TV without loss of quality.
