Optimal Image Stabilization in Any Situation
--------------------------------------------
Intelligent IS automatically chooses from six different modes to
optimize image stabilization for the shooting condition.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
It's easy to capture clear, steady images with the Power SX50
HS, 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 . 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.
Dynamic IS has been enhanced to provide better performance than
ever before, now compensating for rotational movement centered on
the optical axis in addition to horizontal tilt and vertical
pitch, for beautifully clear and steady video.
Normal Corrects for a wide range of camera movement when shooting
stills. Panning Panning motion is detected so that IS does not
interfere with desired camera movement. Macro (Hybrid) Corrects
for shift-type camera shake, which typically occurs in macro
(close-up) shooting. Dynamic Effective for video shooting at
wide-angle focal lengths, eliminating the unwanted shaking that
typically occurs while walking. Powered Compensates for hand
movement when shooting video at the telephoto end of the zoom
range, where camera shake is magnified. Tripod When tripod use is
detected, the Image Stabilizer is stopped because it is not
needed.
