PowerShot SD990 IS Highlights :
- Powerful curves house a 14.7-megapixel Digital ELPH : It’s the very first ELPH to offer you the contemporary cool of pure black--making the boldest camera contours seem even more dramatic. When classic style reflects your fashion sense, indulge in the satiny glow of silver tone.
- 3.7x optical zoom with Optical Image Stabilizer for blur-free shooting : A zoom opens up a world of possibilities in your photography, and thanks to innovative Canon engineering, it’s housed in a camera that’s sized to go everywhere with you.
- Optical viewfinder plus large high-quality 2.5-inch PureColor LCD II : The PowerShot SD990 IS Digital ELPH gives you large 2.5-inch LCD screen for excellent control when framing your shots. Canon’s PureColor LCD II offers spectacular color, resolution and contrast even when viewed at an angle.
- DIGIC 4 Image Processor : Canon’s proprietary DIGIC Image Processors have long set its cameras apart from the competition, and the new DIGIC 4 sets the bar even higher. Faster, more accurate noise reduction delivers better image quality, even at high ISO speeds.
- iSAPS Technology : It is an entirely original scene-recognition technology developed for digital cameras by Canon. Using an internal database of thousands of different photos, iSAPS works with the advanced DIGIC 4 Image Processor to improve focus speed and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance.
- Face Self-Timer : It automatically detects an increase in the number of faces and makes the appropriate adjustments.
- Intelligent Contrast Correction : DIGIC 4 also makes possible the new i-Contrast system, which controls the compensation level in pixel units to brighten dark areas while leaving bright areas unchanged for better images
- Red-eye Correction provides three options for removing red-eye from subjects in flash pictures :
* The Red-eye Correction during shooting actually identifies and corrects red-eye in human subjects as pictures are taken.
* The SD990 IS Digital ELPH can be set to automatically detect and correct red-eye during image playback.
* You can manually locate any red eyes in a scene during image playback on the LCD screen, and command the camera to remove them.
