40x Optical Zoom (24–960mm)
---------------------------
With the Power SX720 HS camera in hand, you'll be impressed
at the zooming capabilities of this slim, compact digital camera.
The amazing 40x Optical Zoom lens is newly designed, packing high
zoom power into a slim design to get you down on the field, high
atop a skyscraper, deep into a landscape and much more. The
camera’s advanced technology helps ensure that images and videos
are captured in outstanding quality, with Intelligent IS that
chooses the stabilization method that matches the shooting
conditions, so images are virtually shake-free in a wide variety
of situations.
Intelligent IS
--------------
Intelligent IS analyzes camera movement and applies a suitable
shake correction method for the shooting situation. For stills,
the system selects from Normal IS, Panning IS, Macro (Hybrid) IS
and Tripod modes. When shooting video, the system selects from
Dynamic IS, Powered IS, Macro (Hybrid) IS and Active Tripod IS
modes. With Intelligent IS, you can concentrate on image capture,
letting the camera make effective IS settings to help capture a
steady image.
Still Image Shooting Normal IS Corrects for a wide range of
camera movement when shooting stills. Panning IS Panning motion
is detected so that IS does not interfere with desired camera
movement. Macro (Hybrid) IS Corrects for shift-type camera shake,
which typically occurs in macro (close-up) shooting. Tripod When
tripod use is detected, the Image Stabilizer is stopped because
it is not needed. Video Dynamic IS Effective for video
shooting at wide-angle focal lengths, eliminating the unwanted
shaking that typically occurs while walking. Powered IS
Compensates for hand movement when shooting video at the
telephoto end of the zoom range, where camera shake is magnified.
Macro (Hybrid) IS Corrects for motion blur that is likely to
occur when shooting video while walking. Also compensates for the
shift-type camera shake common in macro shooting. Active Tripod
IS When shooting video while using a tripod, the image
stabilization is active to compensate for slight camera shake.
Built-in Wi-Fi** and NFC◊ allows for easy sharing and
transferring of images and videos.

20.3 Megapixel* CMOS sensor with DIGIC 6 Image Processor helps
deliver stunning image quality even in low light.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
20.3 Megapixel* High-Sensitivity CMOS Sensor
--------------------------------------------
The Power SX720 HS camera employs a 20.3 Megapixel*
High-Sensitivity CMOS sensor, which delivers powerful imaging
performance and is optimized for use in compact cameras.
Utilizing a sophisticated light-capturing design, it provides
high sensitivity for high ISO capture with reduced noise. It's
also incredibly fast, capable of rapidly capturing and moving
image data to the processor, as well as enabling fast continuous
shooting and fast autofocus.
* Image processing may cause a decrease in the number of pixels.
DIGIC 6 Image Processor
-----------------------
The Power SX720 HS camera is equipped with the DIGIC 6 Image
Processor, which helps boost image quality in both stills and
video. Improved light sensitivity allows for higher resolution
with less noise when shooting in dark conditions, and Dynamic IS
detects and compensates for tilt and parallel movement (shift
blur) to help create video that's virtually free of distortion.
The processor also enhances the performance capabilities of the
Power SX720 HS camera, enabling high-speed, high-quality
continuous still image shooting at up to 5.9 frames per second.
And video is impressive as ever, as the DIGIC 6 Image
Processor enables Full HD at 60p, as well as MP4 .
Highly compressed MP4 video not only preserves space on your
memory card but also improves playback on compatible mobile
devices. Plus, with MF Peaking, made possible thanks to the DIGIC
6 Image Processor, you'll have a pro-level focusing tool at your
disposal.
Capture spectacular 1080p Full HD video at 60p with stereo sound.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Power SX720 HS camera is designed to make beautiful,
creative video capture easy and fun. Image quality is luminous
and lifelike in 1080p Full HD, with selectable frame rates of
60p, 30p and 24p to match the situation and end use. MP4 format,
ideal for sharing and playing on mobile devices, is also
available. Dynamic IS offers 5-axis image stabilization that can
correct strong camera shake that can occur when you shoot while
running or walking backward.
Large 3.0-inch LCD (approx. 922,000 dots) allows easy viewing
even from a wide angle.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The large, 3.0-inch high-resolution LCD screen makes it easy to
both frame and review your s. A resolution of approximately
922,000 dots helps make even small details clear, and images are
viewable even from a wide angle, so showing others what you've
captured is easy, too.
Zoom Framing Assist allows the camera to automatically zoom in or
out while following the movement of your subject and help it to
remain in focus.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
With its 40x Optical Zoom lens, the Power SX720 HS camera has
the telephoto reach to capture subjects a long distance away. At
maximum telephoto, however, it can be challenging to track a
moving subject. The Zoom Framing Assist seek function makes it
much easier to use the camera's powerful zoom lens. When you
press and hold the Zoom Framing Assist button, the camera will
automatically zoom out to include a wider angle of view, enabling
you to easily locate your moving subject. Once you find it,
releasing the button will cause the lens to return to its
original zoom position, intelligently keeping the subject in
focus until you're ready to shoot and capture the perfect
close-up moment. You can even make zoom adjustments while the
button is pressed, with an animated assist frame that makes
viewing easy. When the button is released, the lens will return
to the adjusted zoom position.
Zoom Framing Assist offers a seek assist function that detects
when you're panning (for instance, to search for the location of
a soccer player) and automatically zooms out to help; stop
panning, and the zoom returns to its original position. Zoom
Framing Assist keeps your subject's face the same size in your
frame no matter how they move. Tap the Zoom Framing Assist
function button to detect your subject's face. As your subject
retreats and advances the camera automatically zooms in and out
so their face remains the same size. It's especially useful for
capturing the expressions of fast-moving children. The feature
has been further enhanced by letting you choose the subject's
size: choices include face, upper body, whole body, manual or off
for superior assistance and control. And, for even more
convenience, all Zoom Framing Assist functions are also available
when shooting video.
Story Highlights enables the camera to automatically compile
images and videos* from a certain day or event into a mini
highlight reel with music and effects.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
View your still images and video* as a fun short story with the
Story Highlights feature on the Power SX720 HS camera.
Improved for convenience, you can choose to have the camera
create this reel automatically by using advanced algorithms to
classify your images according to date, event or people, then
compiling a short video of approximately three minutes** with
suitable background music and color effects applied. You can also
customize your Story Highlights reel for a fun, unique video.
Story Highlights BGM lets you add background music (choose from
three pre-loaded songs) to the clips that Story Highlights
automatically generates, for a new level of emotive expression.
It's all done in camera, without the need for any additional
software. Easily access and enjoy your Story Highlights – simply
press the Story Highlights button to start creating your
highlight album. The Story Highlights album can be saved to the
camera's memory card for quick replay and also shared using the
Power SX720 HS camera's built-in Wi-Fi technology.
* Videos must be in Hybrid Auto or Short Clip.
** Length of highlight video varies according to the photos and
videos added to the Story Highlights album.
Creative mode uses composition, color and lighting from your
original image to create unique images with an artistic flair.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Not only is the Power SX720 HS camera a stylish powerhouse,
the camera also enables you to easily create artistic images with
Creative mode. In Creative mode, the camera captures
the original composition, automatically produces and saves five
additional copies of the image and uses advanced Canon
technologies to apply any of 46 filter options based on the
individual scene, subject and exposure. Filter choices are
grouped into Retro, Monochrome, Special and Natural categories to
make exploring the world of artistic photography fun and easy, or
you can simply select Auto to access the full range of effects.
With Creative mode, the result can lead to stunning artistic
photos that are ideal for sharing.
