Canon PowerShot A590IS Highlights
8 megapixels with 4x optical zoom and optical image stabilizer With the PowerShot
A590 IS, dramatic, personal pictures have never been easier to shoot and share.
The 8.0-megapixel design lets you create impressive high resolution images of
family and friends you’ll be proud display. The genuine Canon 4x zoom
lens moves you in for powerful close-ups -- like a bird in flight or a child’s
winning goal -- at the touch of a button. Plus, Canon’s highly sophisticated
Optical Image Stabilizer keeps every shot absolutely steady even when you’re
not.
2.5-inch LCD screen The camera’s 2.5-inch LCD screen gives you the big
picture, whether you’re shooting, reviewing or showing off your images.
This high-resolution screen offers a crisp, clear and bright picture. It also
features Night Display for easy viewing in low light.
New Easy Mode simplifies operation Even if you’ve never picked up a camera
before, with Canon’s new Easy Mode you can take inspiring, dramatic pictures
that will impress everyone. Once you choose Easy Mode, the PowerShot A590 IS
handles all the details automatically. It automatically sets every camera control
including the flash to reduce blur and improve image quality. So you get pictures
that are bright, clear and natural just by pushing a button. Best of all, you
can relax and concentrate on what really counts -- your subject.
Selectable shooting modes With 19 Shooting Modes including 7 Special Scene
Modes, you’re ready for whatever shot comes your way.
DIGIC III Image Processor With DIGIC III, your images boast superior quality,
the camera operates at top efficiency and battery life is enhanced. What’s
more, DIGIC III enables Canon’s Face Detection Technology and Red-eye
Correction to give you better, more true-to-life people shots. Simply press
the Shutter Button halfway down, and the camera automatically pinpoints the
faces in the scene and chooses the ideal focus point. The camera controls exposure
settings and flash to keep every face looking bright and natural. Red-eye Correction
can be handled in-camera, in two ways. The entirely new Red-eye Correction during
shooting uses the Face Detection Technology to recognize and remove red-eye
from flash images as they're taken, before the file is written to the memory
card. It's also possible to correct red-eye during image playback, using simple
settings in the A590 IS's menu.
iSAPS Technology 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 fast DIGIC III Image Processor to improve focus
speed and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance.
Face Detection Technology Canon's powerful Face Detection Technology delivers
even better results with the new A590 IS. The Face Detection Technology continues
to recognize faces in a scene, and concentrate exposure (daylight or flash)
and focus upon them. But the A590 IS adds more: Face Detection WB means the
camera concentrates upon faces when calculating white balance for the best possible
skin tones. Face Select and Track lets the A590 IS user highlight one face among
several in a scene, and the camera concentrates on that person, even as they
move around the scene. Face Detection Technology is a powerful contributing
factor in Canon's new Motion Detection Technology.
Red-eye Correction Red-eye Correction provides three options for removing
red-eye from subjects in flash pictures.
- The new Red-eye Correction during shooting actually identifies and corrects
red-eye in human subjects as pictures are taken.
- The A590 IS can be set to automatically detect and correct red-eye during
image playback.
- The user can manually locate any red eyes in a scene during image playback
on the LCD screen, and command the camera to remove them.
High ISO The PowerShot A590 IS features ISO 1600 and High ISO Auto settings
that reduce the effects of camera shake and sharpen subjects in low-light situations,
giving you greater shooting flexibility.
Motion Detection Technology automatically reduces blur Life doesn’t stand
still for picture-taking. That’s why Canon included its advanced Motion
Detection Technology in the PowerShot A590 IS. This sophisticated feature works
in the background to instantly evaluate how fast your subject is moving. Then
it automatically selects and sets the optimal exposure and ISO settings to keep
everything looking sharp and clear. So whether you’re shooting a bride
walking down the aisle, a ballet recital or even a child’s soccer game,
you can relax and shoot with confidence knowing you’ve got the picture
you intended.

the PowerShot A590 IS is compatible with shooting accessories such as wide and
tele converter lenses, High-Power Flash designed for all of the PowerShot models.
