Reaching new heights in speed, agility and creative possibilities, the
PowerShot G15 gives photographers plenty of reasons to be delighted
over. The excitement starts with the newly developed 5x Optical Zoom
with 28mm Wide-Angle, bright f/1.8(W) – f/2.8 (T) lens that performs
beautifully across the entire zoom range, even in low light, and can
create dramatic soft backgrounds with shallow depth-of-field. Additional
great features for the PowerShot G15 include Canon's HS SYSTEM, which
combines a High-Sensitivity 12.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor with the DIGIC 5
Image Processor for ultra-fast performance and phenomenal image quality,
a new dual axis electronic level, plus upgraded video capture in 1080p
Full HD with stereo sound. The PowerShot G15 is designed to inspire and
support your advanced creativity with 12-bit multi aspect RAW+JPEG just
like in Canon's EOS line of DSLR cameras, new High Speed AF which
dramatically reduces lag time when shooting, and the ability to add
optional Speedlite flashes and a Tele-Converter Lens. When you’re ready
to take the next step in your photographic journey, PowerShot G15 is
ready to get you there.
A Bright and Powerful New Lens
Newly engineered specifically for the PowerShot G15, the camera's 28mm
Wide-Angle 5x Optical Zoom lens with a focal length of 6.1–30.5mm (35mm
film equivalent: 28–140mm) achieves f/1.8–f/2.8, making it one of the
camera's most exciting features. The Wide-Angle lens gives your images a
distinctive sweep and grandeur, capturing landscapes, cityscapes, tall
buildings and wide groups of people with ease. The large f/1.8–2.8
aperture allows you to achieve shallow depth-of-field for creating
portraits with beautiful, soft background blur, and incomparable Canon
optical technology delivers a high performance lens enabling incredible
images, even in low light.
12.1 Megapixel High-Sensitivity CMOS sensor
The PowerShot G15 employs a Canon 12.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor, which
delivers state-of-the-art imaging performance and is optimized for use
in compact cameras. Utilizing a sophisticated light-capturing design, it
provides high sensitivity for improved high ISO capture with reduced
noise. It is also a high-speed design, capable of rapidly capturing and
moving image data to the processor, enabling faster continuous shooting
and faster autofocus.
Canon DIGIC 5 Image Processor
The latest-generation Canon DIGIC 5 Image Processor works with the
PowerShot G15's image sensor to bring phenomenal increases in processing
speed and power, delivering incredible detail in more situations,
without the need for artificial light sources. Improved noise reduction
produces clearer images when shooting in low light at high ISO speeds up
to ISO 12800. The faster processing speed results in faster continuous
shooting capability while maintaining full image quality. With the power
of the DIGIC 5 Image Processor, the PowerShot G15 can achieve higher
ISO sensitivity and even perform advanced functions like lens
correction, special scene modes and much more.
Canon HS SYSTEM for exceptional low-light performance up to ISO 12800
The PowerShot G15 gives you the power to create images with spectacular
depth, detail and emotional resonance. The 12.1 Megapixel
High-Sensitivity CMOS sensor works in concert with Canon's own
latest-generation DIGIC 5 Image Processor to create the renowned Canon
HS SYSTEM. With the Canon HS SYSTEM, you'll experience excellent
tracking performance even in low light, and achieve gorgeous still image
quality even at high ISO speeds all the way up to ISO 12800; beautiful
low-light shots are possible with minimal noise and maximum detail in
highlight and shadow areas. The Canon HS SYSTEM lets you use higher
shutter speeds to capture clearer images with reduced noise and blur in a
variety of situations for incredible photos and videos.
Get the complete HD experience
Simply touch the dedicated movie button, now conveniently embedded in
the PowerShot G15's thumb pad, to start recording video in 1080p Full
HD. Video captured in 1080p Full HD is breathtakingly vivid and
realistic, and Canon's Fine Detail Movie Processing achieves beautiful
videos with high resolution processing that records approximately 4x the
amount of information during video shooting for even greater image
clarity and sharp portrayal of even the most delicate of details. You're
free to use the full range of the zoom in movie mode, and sound is
recorded in stereo. An HDMI output allows you to view and share your
video on an HDTV immediately, simply by connecting the camera to the TV
with an optional HDMI cable.
Faster focus and high-speed shooting
The PowerShot G15 is equipped with Canon's latest advancement in AF
technology: High Speed AF. The result of several improved technologies,
High Speed AF delivers significantly faster focus speed for a
super-responsive shooting experience that lets you capture every great
shot as it happens. Thanks to High Speed AF, the PowerShot G15's
shooting time lag is dramatically reduced to only 0.22 seconds. The
technology also powers the camera's new High-Speed Burst HQ, with
continuous capture at a maximum speed of approximately 10 fps. Moreover,
images captured in High-Speed Burst HQ maintain the camera's superb
image quality.
Optimal Image Stabilization in Any Situation
It's easy to capture clear, steady images with the PowerShot G15, even
in low light without using a tripod. That's because the camera is
equipped with Canon's innovative Intelligent IS. The system analyzes
camera movement and applies the best shake correction method for the
shooting situation – allowing you to focus on framing and capturing your
shot. For stills, the system automatically selects among Normal,
Panning, Macro (Hybrid) and Tripod IS modes. When shooting video, the
system automatically selects among Dynamic, Powered, Macro and Tripod IS
modes.
