The new Canon PowerShot S90 continues the PowerShot S-series tradition with impressive, fully manual features that deliver excellent image quality and user experience. The Canon S90 includes a 3.0 inch LCD display, which features PureColor II LCD technology

The Canon PowerShot S90 features an intuitive lens Control Ring, which enables users to adjust the settings of various functions by twisting the selector at the base of the lens barrel to the left or right. The Control Ring can be used as a quasi-manual zoom offering a closer view of subjects in 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm and 105mm steps.

The Canon PowerShot S90 camera features the Dual Anti-Noise system that takes maximum advantage of the available light, while substantially reducing image noise. This is particularly useful in low-light portrait and landscape photography, where users are able to shoot high quality full resolution images even at ISO 3200. Canon DIGIC 4 also includes an enhanced version of i-Contrast: Canon’s Intelligent Contrast Correction technology, which delivers a wider dynamic range to reduce high-light blowout while retaining low-light detail.

 Canon has fitted the Canon PowerShot S90 camera with a wide aperture f/2.0 wide-angle lens to help photographers take full advantage of the Dual Anti-Noise System. The f/2.0 wide-angle lens allows twice as much light into the camera as an f/2.8 lens, enabling photographers to use faster shutter speeds  to reduce blur or achieve a shallower depth of field.

 The Canon PowerShot S90 camera also includes Canon’s optical Image Stabilizer (IS) technology, which uses a lens-shift system to minimise camera shake and image blur - effectively giving photographers a 4-stop advantage over less capable cameras. To help users capture the perfect shot, the Canon PowerShot S90 includes a 3.0 inch LCD display, which features Canon’s PureColor II LCD technology . It enables users to frame and review pictures easily thanks to an exceptionally wide viewing angle, 461k dot resolution and great colour rendition.

 For more creative control, users of the Canon PowerShot S90 digital camera can also choose from a variety of Scene Modes (SCN on the Control dial) that enable them to choose the best settings for particular shooting situations - ideal for creative effects or when shooting in difficult lighting. A new Low Light mode can help users capture reduced resolution 2.5 Megapixel images in very dim light at ISO speeds of up to ISO 12800 and at a fast 2.4 frames per second.

 Photographers can also choose from a range of creative modes including Aperture priority AE, Shutter priority AE, Program AE, Manual and Custom modes. Choosing and using different camera settings is now even easier thanks to an improved menu navigation system, which includes ‘Hints & Tips’ on most settings and features.  

 Additional settings can be assigned, such as ISO (in 1/3 stop increments), shutter, aperture, focus and exposure compensation - giving photographers a satisfyingly tactile experience. The Control Ring also helps enhance user interaction with the camera by offering fast, accurate scrolling through menus, functions and images. In new Nostalgic Mode the Control Ring can also be used to add an aged effect to the shot, from a subtle faded look to full grainy black and white.

 The Canon S90 digital camera allows fine custom adjustment of the camera’s white balance settings - enabling compensation of different kinds of tungsten, fluorescent and other light conditions for perfect results every time. For quick and easy snap shots, the Canon PowerShot S90 includes Smart Auto with Scene Detection Technology. This selects the scene type from 22 variables, applying the best settings for optimum output - a great asset to those who love to point-and-shoot without worrying about the technical details. Smart Auto now measures movement of objects or people in a scene, activating Servo AF/AE to ensure that the focus and exposure are locked onto a subject.

With a strong heritage and impressive range of features the Canon PowerShot S90 is the ideal compact camera for technology and photographic enthusiasts alike.
