DIGIC 4 Image Processor Canon PowerShot A2500 16MP
Canon DIGIC Image
Processors have set the standard for functionality and performance since
their groundbreaking introduction in 1999. With each successive
generation, DIGIC processors have brought elevated performance and
powerful new features to PowerShot digital cameras. The DIGIC 4 Image
Processor has ushered in a new level of picture quality and accelerated
processing, making possible features such as high-speed continuous
shooting, HD video and Face Detection Self-timer.
Zoom in on Wider, Steadier Shots
5x Optical Zoom with 28mm Wide-Angle lens delivers stunning images
The
5x Optical Zoom (35mm equivalent: 28–140mm) in the PowerShot A2500
digital camera delivers outstanding optical performance and versatility.
It gives you a great range of potential images from a single location,
which is perfect for sporting events and other occasions when your
shooting stance is fixed, or times when moving in too close might
disrupt the action you're trying to capture. The lens' 28mm wide-angle
perspective puts more image in every frame for dynamic, exciting shots.
A Smarter Camera Means Better Photos Canon PowerShot A2500 16MP
Smart AUTO
Photographers
of all levels appreciate a camera – especially a go-anywhere compact
digital – that takes the hassle out of capturing beautiful images. The
PowerShot A2500 gives you Smart AUTO – sophisticated Canon technology
that makes getting that great shot as simple as pressing the shutter
button. Smart AUTO automatically detects scenes by assessing various
factors in both the background and the subject. Detected scenes are
analyzed using 32 predefined shooting situations. The camera then makes
optimal settings to ensure the best possible image capture when shooting
still images. Smart AUTO also includes Advanced Subject Detection,
which allows the camera to detect and track non-human moving subjects
like animals and vehicles. With Smart AUTO, all you have to do is frame
your shot and capture away.
Shooting Modes/Special Scene Modes

camera automatically selects the best shooting settings for optimal
quality based on subjects and environmental factors to provide
point-and-shoot simplicity. |
| Program | The camera automatically and intelligently selects the aperture/shutter speed combination based on the shooting conditions. |
| Live View Control | Enables Brightness, Color, and Tone adjustments to your images using easy-to-understand controls. |
| Digital IS | The camera digitally corrects image blur by analyzing the subject prior to choosing the best correction method. |

| Face Self-timer | The camera waits for a face to enter the frame before releasing the shutter. |
| Low Light | For high quality image capture in an amazing range of dimly lit situations. |

Gorgeous HD Video From Your Still Camera

the pocket-sized PowerShot A2500, you can shoot high definition video
anytime, anywhere. With a simple push of the dedicated movie button,
you'll be able to instantly record every moment in motion. 720p HD video
is smooth, vivid, and beautifully lifelike, making it an ideal way to
capture special memories. In addition to being able to shoot 720p HD
video at 25 frames per second, the PowerShot A2500 can also shoot 640 x
480 VGA video at 30
* frames per second.
*Actual frame rate is 29.97 fps.
Dedicated movie button for easy video capture
It's
never been easier to shoot videos with a PowerShot digital camera. To
make shooting video as natural as snapping pictures, the PowerShot A2500
has a dedicated movie button. No need to plan ahead, no need to search
through menus on the LCD screen; when you feel a moment would be best
captured in 720p HD, simply press the button and recording begins. The
camera is always ready to shoot stills or video whenever you want.
Say Goodbye to Blur
Digital IS reduces the effect of camera shake and subject movement
Digital
IS beats the blur that mars many shots by recognizing the main subject,
then automatically applying the camera shake correction that best suits
the situation. If the subject is a person, blur reduction processing is
performed. For landscapes, cityscapes and other still scenes, the
camera takes three quick successive shots and composes them into a
single clear image. If the subject is moving, the camera takes three
successive shots, then automatically saves the clearest image.
A Charge that Lasts as Long as a Memory
New ECO Mode helps reduce power consumption for longer battery life
The
PowerShot A2500 takes energy conservation to the next level with ECO
Mode, which provides more shots per single charge through LCD monitor
and camera power management. ECO Mode can be activated via a dedicated
button for easy power preservation when an outlet is unavailable or the
moment is too exciting to put the camera down. ECO Mode quickly wakes
the camera from sleep when a button is pressed so you won't miss the
moment. When the fun with family and friends runs late into the evening,
ECO Mode on the PowerShot A2500 makes sure your camera keeps up.
More Ways to Get Creative

Scene
Modes are fun, easy ways to give your shots a distinctly artistic feel
without the need for any extra lenses and filters. Super Vivid heightens

make it look as if it were created with miniature models. You can also

vintage look as it capturing the photo using a "toy" or pinhole camera.
