|
 |
Description
Canon updates its popular S-series PowerShot digital camera line with the 5-megapixel S60. It features a number of enhancements over the previous S50 model, including larger optical zoom (3.6x versus 3x), a closer macro zoom distance, larger video resolution, support for conversion lenses, and a higher capacity battery. Optics and Resolution The PowerShot S60 has a 5-megapixel sensor with a maximum resolution of 2,592 x 1,944 pixels, enough detail for 4-by-6-inch to 20-by-30-inch (poster size) photos. Other resolution modes include 2048 x 1536 (3MP, 1600 x 1200 (2MP), 1024 x 768, and 640 x 480. It features a 3.6x optical zoom and 4.1x digital zoom for a total 14.8x zoom. The lens features Canon's new UA (Ultra-high refractive index, Aspherical) lens, allowing for the design of a more compact lens--making the S60 almost 8% thinner than the S50. The 28-100mm focal length range expands to 200mm with the addition of an optional 2x tele-converter. Canon's powerful DIGIC image processor provides a huge capacity for complex assessment of the scene to be captured. The PowerShot S50 uses information from the zoom position, scene brightness, and other systems to determine what sort of subject is being photographed in order to optimize AF speed, exposure accuracy, and white balance performance. Movie Mode
The S60's movie mode has been upgraded to a maximum resolution of 640 x 480 (10 frames per second); it also offers 320 x 240 and 160 x 120 modes (15 frames per second). Individual movie clips are limited to 3 minutes maximum per clip (and 30 seconds maximum for 640 x 480 mode). More Features
For beginners, the camera is point-and-shoot simple. Just twist the dial to Auto and start snapping pictures. The PowerShot S60 offers a myriad of setting options, including three light metering modes, white balance presets with two positions for custom settings, exposure and focus bracketing, manual focus and AF lock, aperture and shutter-speed priority, and adjustable ISO-equivalent sensitivity. The PowerShot S60 features 13 shooting modes, including subject-based modes and semi-auto modes such as aperture priority. Photo Effects are an easy way to add creative dimension to your photography, with settings including Vivid, Neutral, Low Sharpening, Sepia, Black & White and Custom. A fast sequence mode allows a maximum frame rate of 2 frames per second, maintained for up to eight images. A new Macro Function lets you shoot as close as 2 inches with incredible detail: the shortest focal length of any Canon compact digital camera not equipped with Super Macro. The nine-point AiAF lets you focus your subject no matter where it appears in the viewfinder. For more freedom, FlexiZone AF/AE let you select which part of the frame you wish to focus on without moving your camera. Other features include: - Large 1.8-inch LCD monitor
- Built-in flash with auto, on, off, manual, slow-synch, and red-eye reduction modes
- Simultaneous RAW and JPEG file recording
- 15 second to 1/2000 sec shutter speeds
- Intelligent Orientation Sensor displays your images properly rotated during playback on the LCD screen and your computer screen
Storage and Transfer
The S60 uses CompactFlash cards to store images, and it's compatible with Type I or Type II cards, including Microdrives. It also supports the FAT32 format for cards larger than 2 GB. The included 32 MB card holds approximately 21 images at the Large/Fine setting. It connects to Macs and Windows-based PCs via a USB 1.1 connection. Direct Printing/Sharing
The S60 incorporates Canon's new Print/Share button that speeds and simplifies printing to compatible Canon and PictBridge enabled printers. It also offers one-touch image transfer to Windows XP, Me, 2000, and 98 computers for use with image processing programs, uploading to the Internet, or placement in e-mail. When connected to a Canon Compact Photo printer, a Movie Print mode divides the selected clip into equal parts and prints thumbnails of a maximum 63 equally spaced frames onto a single sheet of Postcard Size Paper. Power and Size
The camera is powered by the rechargeable lithium-ion battery NB-2LH, which provides approximately 240 shots with the LCD on and 550 shots without the LCD. It measures 4.5 x 2.2 x 1.5 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 8.1 ounces (without battery). What's in the Box
This package contains the Canon PowerShot S60 digital camera, 32 MB CompactFlash card, rechargeable lithium-ion battery (NP-2LH), battery charger, wrist strap, USB and A/V cables, CD-ROM with Digital Camera Solutions, ArcSoft Camera Suite, and drivers, and printed operating instructions.

Canon's new PowerShot S60 digital camera combines five-megapixel resolution, a newly developed 28-100mm UA wide-angle 3.6x zoom lens for creative control and a slender shape for added portability that provides consumers and photo enthusiasts alike with a full-featured tool for greater creative latitude. New Wide Angle Lens - The PowerShot S60 camera is equipped with a redesigned 3.6x zoom lens that goes from a wide-angle focal length of 28mm to a telephoto of 100mm (35mm film equivalent). This new lens features an Ultra high refractive index, which makes it thin and compact. The Ultra high refractive index Aspherical (UA) lens allows for a 28mm wide angle zoom while increasing image quality and slimming the body of the camera for a sleek design. New Slim Design - To allow for a more refined look and easier use, the PowerShot S60 digital camera fashions a new, slimmer body with a redesigned smooth sliding lens cover, transforming the camera's appearance when it is opened and closed. Canon achieved this slimmer design by using the new UA wide-angle lens. A traditional 28mm lens would produce a thicker camera, however, due to the new UA lens the PowerShot S60 digital camera is slimmer than its predecessor. The silver two-tone body provides a larger zoom lever now found on the rear of the camera so users can easily maneuver with their thumb. Additionally, the large, round control pad is located in the rear center of the camera with the SET button in the middle, allowing for effortless navigation and control. In order to increase the amount of photographs users can capture, Canon developed a new high-capacity lithium-ion battery, the NB-2LH model, which offers approximately 26-percent higher capacity than the previous lithium-ion battery. Enhanced Features - Armed with a faster start up time, the PowerShot S60 digital camera sports a variety of enhanced features that make it stand out from the crowd. Notably, the camera's macro function allows photographers to shoot a subject from as close as 1.6 inch. The camera's optional Tele-converter extends the focal length to 200mm. In addition, the PowerShot S60 digital camera also features: - A 9-point AiAF autofocus system - Manual Controls including focus, exposure, and white balance - A 13 mode dial - Flexizone AF/AE - An Intelligent Orientation Sensor; and It accepts Type I & II Compact Flash Media. Underwater Possibilities - With summer approaching, Canon's new PowerShot S60 digital camera features an optional underwater housing, WP-DC40. Designed for capturing fabulous underwater photos while snorkeling, in the pool, or just protect the camera while boating or on the beach. For the underwater enthusiast, Canon will offer a new waterproof case weight set (WW-DC1) that is compatible with all of its underwater housings. Available in packs of four, these weights allow the camera to stay put for steady underwater photography. To capture the best underwater shots this summer, the PowerShot S60 digital camera includes a new underwater preset for the white balance. This feature automatically sets the camera to the correct white balance for underwater shooting so users do not have to worry about the difficulty of operating manually. Wide Angle 3.6x (28-100mm) Zoom Lens - The PowerShot S60 is equipped with a wide-angle 3.6x retractable zoom lens that reaches all the way to 28mm. This is a distinct advantage over most digital cameras, which offer a focal length of only 35mm at the wide end. You'll really notice the difference in enhanced shots of large subjects, expanded indoor shots, and greater depth to your photography overall. 3.6x Optical/15x Combined Zoom - Moreover, a telephoto zoom brings the angle of view all the way to 100mm to make the S60 highly versatile. Zooming is quick and smooth with a 4.1x digital zoom that combines with the optical zoom to take you all the way to 15x. 5.0 Megapixels - The S60's 5.0 megapixel CCD captures a serious level of detail. This automatically ensures that the images you create are sharp and rich, with lifelike color and depth. 13 image quality modes give you the greatest flexibility in using and sharing images. Choose from 4 levels of recording pixels and 3 compression values, plus RAW mode.UA Lens Technology - The UA Lens (Ultra High Refractive Index Aspherical Lens) is a Canon exclusive: a glass-molded Aspherical lens with an ultra high refractive index that delivers bright, clear shots. This special glass allows a compactness unusual in a wide-angle lens, contributing to the S60's impressively slim profile. Advanced Features for More Value and MORE FUN! 9-point AiAF 9-point AiAF lets you put your subject almost anywhere in the frame, confident that focus will be fast and accurate. Macro Function A new Macro Function lets you shoot as close as 2 inches with incredible detail: the shortest focal length of any Canon compact digital camera not equipped with Super Macro. White Balance: Underwater Preset Add the optional waterproof case and you can take advantage of one of S60's most exciting features: a new Underwater white balance preset that eliminates the blue cast typical in this situation. Now even beginners can dive into underwater photography with spectacular results. Shooting Modes - 13 Shooting Modes Including Enhanced VGA Movie Mode. The camera lets you shoot completely automatic or take various levels of control. Creative Zone modes include Program AE, Shutter Priority AE, Aperture Priority AE, Manual and Custom. Image Zone modes include Portrait, Landscape, Night Scene, Fast Shutter, Slow Shutter, Stitch Assist and Movie.

Unwanted scenes can be deleted in playback mode. Landscape - The camera uses smaller apertures when possible for increased depth-of-field. Program - The camera automatically and intelligently selects the aperture/shutter speed combination based on shooting condition. Night Scene - Slow-sync flash is expertly combined with appropriate ambient light exposure to properly expose both subject and background. Shutter Speed Priority - The user selects the shutter speed, and the camera automatically selects the appropriate aperture. Fast Shutter - Ideal for sports, this setting uses high shutter speeds to stop the action of fast-moving subjects. Aperture Priority - The user sets the aperture, controlling depth-of-field. The camera automatically selects the appropriate shutter speed. Slow Shutter - The camera sets a slow shutter speed to intentionally blur moving subjects or otherwise create dramatic long-exposure effects. Manual - The user has complete control over exposure, selecting both aperture and shutter speed manually. VGA-size Movie - The Movie mode has been enhanced to let you capture gorgeous VGA-size movies (640x480) at 10 frames per second. Photo Effect - Photo Effects are an easy way to add creative dimension to your photography, with settings including Vivid, Neutral, Low Sharpening, Sepia, Black & White and Custom.Safety Shift - In Av and Tv modes, a Safety Shift function is available to eliminate exposure errors: the camera will automatically change shutter speed or aperture to work within the ambient brightness conditions. Print/Share - Print/Share Button Plus ID Photo Print and Movie Print.Print/Share Button - The S60's Print/Share button makes direct printing easier than ever. Simply connect the S60 to a Canon Direct Photo Printer or PictBridge supported printer, press the Print/Share button and print! Also use the Print/Share button to transfer images directly to a Windows based computer ID Photo & Movie Print - The camera gives you host of fun and useful print features. Create ID photo prints in 28 sizes or use the Movie Print function to print multiple stills from a recorded movie on a single sheet from a Canon CP Printer. DIGIC Image Processor and iSAPS TechnologyDIGIC Image Processor - Canon's exclusive DIGIC Image Processor revolutionized how you shoot digital by allowing the camera to process images faster and improving the accuracy of the autofocus. DIGIC also reduces the effects on noise in your images. iSAPS Technology - iSAPS Technology is an entirely new scene-recongnition technology developed for digital cameras by Canon. Using an internal detabase of thousands of different photos, iSAPS works with the fast DIGIC Image Processor to improve focus speed and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance. Direct Print - Direct Photo Printers allow you to print directly in one of two ways: plug the compatible PowerShot camera into the Direct Photo Printer using the supplied cable, or simply insert a memory card with supplied adapter. You can also connect the printer to your computer for more options. Print high resolution borderless images in post card size or 8.5x 11-inch size within minutes.
