Slow-Sync
ELPH Z3 makes the most of night. With SlowSync setting, a precise combination of flash and a slower shutter speed reveals background detail and foreground subjects with exceptional clarity.

Red-Eye Reduction

For sparkling, natural looking eyes, count on an ingenious Red-Eye Reduction lamp which pre-illuminates your subject before the flash fires.
Without Red-Eye Reduction
Fill-in Flash adds necessary illumination to many daytime conditions. Its a big help when subjects are partially in the shade and it dependably prevents backlighting from turning people into silhouettes.

The excitement of innovation
Face Detection Technology The camera finds multiple faces in the frame to ensure excellent focus and proper illumination for both the faces and the overall scene. Flash and white balance are correctly adjusted while emphasizing the colors of the faces in the frame. Face Detection Technologies give you the best possible results in any shooting situation.
As white balance is automatically optimized across the screen, faces are detected to maintain natural skin tones.
Motion Detection Technology* This sophisticated feature works in the background to instantly evaluate how fast the subject in the frame is moving. With cameras containing an Optical Image Stabilizer, camera shake is also detected. Motion Detection Technology automatically selects the optimal exposure and ISO settings to capture crisp, clear images.
When the camera detects a subject in motion, it automatically sets a higher ISO number and faster shutter speed to reduce blur.
Optical Image Stabilizer Technology* Canons Optical Image Stabilizer reduces blur caused by camera shake. Upon detecting motion, the Image Stabilizer shifts a lens group to compensate for movement, resulting in crisp, sharp images, even zoomed-in and at slow shutter speeds.

X III Image Processor

The extraordinary DIGIC Image Processor typifies Canons cutting edge excellence. Look forward to instant startups, faster autofocus speed, carefree continuous shooting, amazing movie quality and immediate playback response. Autofocus Advanced highly sensitive focusing sensors positioned across the entire picture plane ensure razor sharp images every time you press the shutter. When subjects are far off-center, count on single-point AF. PureColor LCD II/PureColor LCD A color filter in the LCD screen expands the color reproductive range for a sharp and vivid color display. Cameras large LCD screens also allow convenient wide-angle viewing as well.

* Select Digital ELPH cameras only. Face Detection only detects faces facing forward, and tracks up to 9 frames or 35 frames on select models.
Without Optical Image Stabilizer Conventional Face Detection AF/AE/FE/WB* Face Selector AF allows you to focus on a specific face. The selected face is double-framed and tracked as it moves in the frame. ISO100 ISO400 When little subject or camera movement is detected, lower ISOs are set automatically. The result is beautiful, sharp images with great color and low digital noise. ISO800 ISO100
With Optical Image Stabilizer
UA Lens Technology* Precision optics are the heart and soul of the PowerShot Digital ELPH series. The development of advanced UA Lens Technology allows for even greater miniaturization, resulting in camera bodies that are slimmer and smaller with an elegance that is the spirit of Digital ELPH.
