making captured images and HD videos available easily for effortless
sharing to friends and family. Compatible with Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n
wireless standard), these cameras can connect with compatible home
networks or to wireless access points. You can easily share your images
and videos by signing up on CANON iMAGE GATEWAY --an online service that

This app makes it easy to select and save images stored on your iOS
devices and upload them to social networking sites, or email. Even
without a mobile device, it is possible to send images to a PC, or even
transfer images between Wi-FI enabled PowerShot cameras.
Canon HS System
The Canon HS SYSTEM lets you take bright, clear photos in an even wider
range of shooting situations. Beautiful low-light shots are possible
with minimal noise and maximum detail in highlight and shadow areas. The
system is the result of two technologies brought together in PowerShot
cameras: a high-sensitivity imaging sensor, which is able to capture
more light; and the DIGIC 5 Image Processor, which actively reduces
noise with high-speed image processing. The 12.1 Megapixel Canon CMOS
sensor in the PowerShot SX260 HS incorporates advanced light reception
technology that enhances sensitivity. The DIGIC 5 Image Processor
provides a major boost in noise reduction, expanding the usable ISO
range to an amazing high of ISO 3200. The Canon HS SYSTEM thus lets you
use higher shutter speeds to capture clearer images with reduced noise
and blur.
Canon DIGIC 5 Image Processor
The latest-generation Canon DIGIC 5 Image Processor brings phenomenal
increases in processing speed and power. Improved chip architecture and
algorithms deliver greatly expanded functionality with further
refinement in image quality. Improved noise reduction produces clearer
images when shooting in low light at high ISO speeds. Enhanced
i-Contrast performance adjusts differences between light and dark areas
to achieve even more natural-looking results. The faster processing
speed also results in faster continuous shooting capability while
maintaining full image quality. The DIGIC 5 Image Processor also makes
possible a new, highly advanced automatic white balance system. Whereas
conventional white balance makes an overall adjustment based on a single
type of light source, the new Canon Multi-Area White Balance analyzes
several areas of the image to determine whether different adjustments
are needed, for example, for the main subject and the background.
Canon Full HD Video Advantage
In addition to the Canon HS SYSTEM, the combination of the advanced CMOS
sensor and DIGIC 5 Image Processor in the PowerShot ELPH 320 HS makes
it possible to shoot crisp, clear high definition video. Imagine the fun
and excitement of being able to shoot spectacular 1080p Full HD video
with stereo sound that you can later watch on your HDTV or download to
your computer to share with family and friends. In addition to being
able to shoot Full HD 1080p video at 24 frames per second, the
PowerShot ELPH 320 HS can also shoot 720p HD video at 30 frames per
second.
HDTV Playback via HDMI output and CEC
It's easy to enjoy and share the videos you shoot with the PowerShot
ELPH 320 HS. Simply connect its HDMI terminal to your HDTV using an HDMI
cable. And because the PowerShot ELPH 320 HS supports HDMI CEC
technology, you'll be able to control the playback of your images and
videos on any CEC enabled HDTV using the TV’s remote control. (CEC –
Consumer Electronic Control – is part of the HDMI specification,
enabling components in a system to communicate with one another.)
