Capture The World as You See It
-------------------------------
Powerful 20x Optical Zoom with 25mm Wide-Angle Lens
---------------------------------------------------
The Power SX280 HS features a powerful 20x Optical Zoom Lens
that delivers outstanding optical performance and versatility. It
does not have rear facing
picture capability.The camera's lens embodies the quality and
legacy of Genuine Canon Optics with advantages that go far beyond
making the camera slim enough to slip in your pocket and carry
anywhere. With a range of 25–500mm (35mm equivalent), the lens
gives you the power to capture the full breadth of scenes, with
details you've never captured before. Images are bright and vivid
with spectacular clarity thanks to Optical Image Stabilization.
Optical Image Stabilizer
------------------------
Handheld shooting can often lead to camera shake, making photos
and videos blurry. Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer is a
sophisticated system that uses lens-shift technology to correct
for unwanted camera movement. It makes handheld photography more
practical, providing excellent image quality in many difficult
shooting situations: outdoors at dusk, inside without a flash,
and even at the telephoto end of the zoom range without a tripod.
For photos, it enables shooting at slower shutter speeds,
accommodating more low-light shooting situations than ever before
without having to boost ISO sensitivity. With camera shake and
vibration reduced, you get a sharper, steadier image. And because
it is an optical system, there is none of the image degradation
typical with electronic image stabilizers.
Beautiful Images and Fast Performance Start Here
------------------------------------------------
12.1 Megapixel High-Sensitivity CMOS sensor
-------------------------------------------
The Power SX280 HS employs a Canon 12.1 Megapixel
High-Sensitivity CMOS sensor, which delivers state-of-the-art

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 6 Image Processor
-----------------------------
The Power SX280 HS is equipped with Canon's very latest
proprietary processor, the DIGIC 6 Image Processor. The DIGIC 6
Image Processor makes several important advancements, including
improved sensitivity that allows for higher resolution with less
noise when shooting in dark conditions. Dynamic IS now detects
and compensates for tilt and parallel movement (shift blur) to
create video that's exceptionally free of distortion. In
addition, the DIGIC 6 Image Processor enables video in
MP4 format. Highly compressed MP4 video not only preserves space
on your memory card but also improves playback on mobile devices.
Canon HS SYSTEM for exceptional low-light performance up to ISO
6400
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Power SX280 HS 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 latest-generation DIGIC 6 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 6400; beautiful low-light s are possible
with 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.
Full HD Video That's Better Than Ever
-------------------------------------
1080p/60p Full HD video
-----------------------
With the camera's advanced DIGIC 6 Image Processor enabling MP4
format , the Power SX280 HS lets you shoot video at
a selectable frame rate of 60 fps or 30 fps. 1080p/60p Full HD
video is extraordinarily smooth and rich in playback, ensuring
that your important memories and creative film clips look their
absolute best. Video recorded at 30 fps has also been improved
through the combination of the DIGIC 6 Image Processor and Fine
Movie Detail Processing, with reduced noise and high resolution.
A Smarter Camera Means Better Photos and Videos
-----------------------------------------------
Smart AUTO
----------
Smart AUTO for the Power SX280 HS has been significantly
expanded, making it easier than ever to capture the sharp,
bright, colorful images – and videos – you're looking for. By
assessing various factors in both the background and the subject,
the system recognizes 58 predefined shooting situations and
automatically selects the camera settings that will yield the
best possible results. Simply frame the you want, and in
dozens of common or challenging scenarios the camera takes care
of the rest. Hard-to-capture s such as moving subjects, night
scenes, backlit subjects, and landscapes at evening or on a
bright snowy day are instantly and effortlessly captured as
"keeper" s. Smart AUTO makes the Power SX280 HS ideal for
capturing excellent quality still images and video on the go.
Face ID
-------
Face ID on the Power SX280 HS gives you an easy way to
improve every of the people you love. Simply take a picture
of up to 12 faces you would like the camera to register, then
enter names and ages. Once a person is registered, the camera
will pick him or her out of a group (even against a busy
background) and adjust focus and exposure to his or her face,
even recognizing faces in profile. Face ID is particularly great
for s of babies and children. The system can pick your baby
out of a group of children, focus on your baby when pictured with
an adult, and capture the best smile by taking three successive
images when the smile is detected. The flash is even disabled so
as not to startle the baby and interrupt the moment. Older
children in motion are tracked, with focus and exposure
continually adjusted with Servo AF; with one shutter press three
successive images are captured so the best is never missed.
And because you'll identify each face you register, Face ID makes
it easy to search images by name.

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
SX280 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.
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.
