Enhanced Canon Face Detection Technology Canon's powerful Face
Detection Technology delivers even better results with the new
A580. The Face Detection Technology continues to recognize faces
in a scene, and concentrate exposure (daylight or flash) and
focus upon them. But the A580 adds more: Face Detection WB means
the camera concentrates upon faces when calculating white balance
for the best possible skin tones. Face Select and Track lets the
A580 user highlight one face among several in a scene, and the
camera concentrates on that person, even as they move around the
scene. Face Detection Technology is a powerful contributing
factor in Canon's new Motion Detection Technology.
Red-eye Correction Red-eye Correction provides three options for
removing red-eye from subjects in flash pictures.
* The new Red-eye Correction during shooting actually identifies
and corrects red-eye in human subjects as pictures are taken.
* The A580 can be set to automatically detect and correct red-eye
during image playback.
* The user can manually locate any red eyes in a scene during
image playback on the LCD screen, and command the camera to
remove them.
High ISO The Power A580 features ISO 1600 and High ISO Auto
settings that reduce the effects of camera shake and sharpen
subjects in low-light situations, giving you greater shooting
flexibility.
DIGIC III Image Processor With DIGIC III, your images boast
superior quality, the camera operates at top efficiency and
battery life is enhanced. Whats more, DIGIC III enables Canons
Face Detection Technology and Red-eye Correction to give you
better, more true-to-life people s. Simply press the Shutter
Button halfway down, and the camera automatically pinpoints the
faces in the scene and chooses the ideal focus point. The camera
controls exposure settings and flash to keep every face looking
bright and natural. Red-eye Correction can be handled in-camera,
in two ways. The entirely new Red-eye Correction during shooting
uses the Face Detection Technology to recognize and remove
red-eye from flash images as they're taken, before the file is
written to the memory card. It's also possible to correct red-eye
during image playback, using simple settings in the A580's menu.
iSAPS Technology is an entirely original scene-re
technology developed for digital cameras by Canon. Using an
internal database of thousands of different photos, iSAPS works
with the fast DIGIC III Image Processor to improve focus speed
and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance.
Motion Detection Technology automatically reduces blur Life
doesnt stand still for picture-taking. Thats why Canon included
its advanced Motion Detection Technology in the Power A580.
This sophisticated feature works in the background to instantly
evaluate how fast your subject is moving. Then it automatically
selects and sets the optimal exposure and ISO settings to keep
everything looking sharp and clear. So whether youre shooting a
bride walking down the aisle, a ballet recital or even a childs
soccer game, you can relax and shoot with confidence knowing
youve got the picture you intended.
Uses AA batteries for convenience anywhere you go You dont need
to worry about running out or recharging of batteries. Since
AA-size batteries can be purchased at any store, simply get new
ones locally.
