4X OPTICAL ZOOM

At the heart of the PowerShot G5 is Canon’s powerful 4x, all-glass zoom lens. With a 35mm equivalent range of 35-140mm, a large maximum aperture of f/2.0-3.0, and macro focusing down to 2 in., there’s virtually nothing this lens can’t do. A 4x digital zoom feature extends the telephoto capabilities even further, effectively making it a 16x zoom.

Two choices for autofocus: use Canon’s FlexiZone AF to move the focus point almost anywhere in the frame, or lock it at the center. Either way, you get precise, tack-sharp focus, from close-ups to scenics. There’s even a focus bracketing feature, which shifts focus slightly over three separate pictures. Finally, there’s a continuous AF setting – which leaves the AF active any time the camera is on – and single AF, which updates focus only when the shutter button is pressed halfway. PowerShot G5

In addition to a host of automatic features, the PowerShot G5 allows for full manual control. The user can set shutter speeds of 1/2000 – 15 seconds, and adjust aperture, focus, flash output and exposure compensation. Additionally, the PowerShot offers features such as expo- sure and focus bracketing, AF and AE lock, even a neutral density filter, ensuring total control for even the most discerning photographer.

THREE METERING SYSTEMS

The PowerShot G5 gives users three light metering choices. Canon’s sophisticated Evaluative metering reads tens of thousands of separate areas of the full image, and is the ideal metering choice for most situations. There’s also full-area Center- weighted metering, which is perfect for shooters who prefer to dial in their own exposure compensation. Finally, for the utmost precision, there’s Spot metering – which can measure a tiny area either at the center of the image, or can be linked to the AF point if it’s off-center.

INTELLIGENT ORIENTATION SENSOR

Intelligent Orientation Sensor automatically rotates images for playback, improves auto exposure and white balance.

autofocus: the power of choice.
