Infinite Possibilities The PowerShot SX40 HS is a versatile compact point-and-
shoot camera that easily captures amazing photos and videos. The Canon HS
SYSTEM boosts low-light performance with the new Canon DIGIC 5 Image Processor
and a high-sensitivity 12.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor. This advanced Canon

a 24mm ultra Wide-Angle lens makes it easy to take pictures of large groups of
people, tall buildings, expansive landscapes and much more. The camera also
features a 2.7-inch Vari-angle LCD for great shooting flexibility. Packed with
an array of powerful technologies, the PowerShot SX40 HS is a convenient
digital camera capable of brilliant image capture. Extreme 35x Wide-Angle
Optical Zoom and 24mm Lens The PowerShot SX40 HS is equipped with a Genuine
Canon 35x Zoom lens that provides the telephoto power to bring your distant
subjects incredibly close. It also features a useful zoom range that begins at
24mm wide-angle and extends to 840mm telephoto (35mm equivalent). The 24mm
ultra Wide-Angle allows you to create shots with dramatic perspective and
makes it easy to shoot sweeping landscapes, large groups of people and tall
buildings. This superb lens delivers outstanding optical performance
throughout its zoom range. It’s advanced design employs UD glass, double-sided
aspherical glass-molded and ultra-high-refraction-index glass lens elements to
effectively suppress chromatic aberration while maintaining a remarkably
compact size. The camera uses a VCM (Voice Coil Motor) for high-speed, quiet,
energy-efficient lens movement with precise control. 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. Canon DIGIC 5 Image Processor The
latest-generation Canon DIGIC 5 Image Processor brings phenomenal increases in
processing speed and power. Improved chip architecture and algorithms deliver
greatly expanded functionality with further refinement in image quality.
Improved noise reduction produces clearer images when shooting in low light at
high ISO speeds. Enhanced i-Contrast performance adjusts differences between
light and dark areas to achieve even more natural-looking results. The faster
processing speed also results in faster continuous shooting capability while
maintaining full image quality. The DIGIC 5 Image Processor also makes
possible a new, highly advanced automatic white balance system. Whereas
conventional white balance makes an overall adjustment based on a single type
of light source, the new Canon Multi-Area White Balance analyzes several areas
of the image to determine whether different adjustments are needed, for
example, for the main subject and the background. Noise Reduction Conventional
Image Processor White Balance With DIGIC 5 Image Processor Canon HS SYSTEMThe
Canon HS SYSTEM lets you take bright, clear photos in an even wider range of
shooting situations. Beautiful low-light shots are possible with minimal noise
and maximum detail in highlight and shadow areas. The system is the result of
two technologies brought together in PowerShot cameras: a high-sensitivity
imaging sensor, which is able to capture more light; and the DIGIC Image
Processor, which actively reduces noise with high-speed image processing. The
12.1 Megapixel Canon CMOS sensor in the PowerShot SX40 HS incorporates
advanced light reception technology that enhances sensitivity. The new DIGIC 5
Image Processor provides a major boost in noise reduction, expanding the
usable ISO range to an amazing high of ISO 3200. The Canon HS SYSTEM thus lets
you use higher shutter speeds to capture clearer images with reduced noise and
blur. Memorable Moments in Spectacular Full HD In addition to the Canon HS
SYSTEM, the combination of the advanced CMOS sensor and DIGIC 5 Image
Processor in the PowerShot SX40 HS makes it possible to shoot crisp, clear
high definition video. Imagine the fun and excitement of being able to shoot
spectacular 1080p Full HD video with stereo sound that you can later watch on
your HDTV or download to your computer to share with family and friends. The
PowerShot SX40 HS shoots Full HD video at 24 frames per second, ensuring
clear lifelike motion images with a beautiful cinematic quality. It also
shoots beautifully detailed 720p HD video at 30 fps. Actual frame rate is
23.976 fps. Actual frame rate is 29.97 fps. Dedicated Movie Button, Wind
Filter and Optical Zoom While Shooting It’s never been easier to shoot videos
with a PowerShot digital camera. The PowerShot SX40 HS has a dedicated movie
button that lets you start and stop recording instantly. There is no need to
go through layers of menus or operate switches or dials to switch to and from
video recording mode. The camera is always ready to shoot stills or video
whenever you want. The PowerShot SX40 HS also incorporates an electronic wind
filter, which suppresses wind noise that can muffle or distort the sound. And
unlike less sophisticated point-and-shoot cameras, the PowerShot SX40 HS lets
you use the full range of optical zoom when you’re shooting a video. HDTV
Playback via HDMI with CEC Support It’s easy to enjoy and share the videos you
shoot with the PowerShot SX40 HS. Simply connect its HDMI terminal to your
HDTV using an HDMI cable (not included). And because the PowerShot SX40 HS
supports HDMI-CEC technology, you’ll be able to control the playback of your
images and videos on any CEC-enabled HDTV using the TV’s remote control. (CEC
– Consumer Electronic Control – is part of the HDMI specification, enabling
components in a system to communicate with one another.) iFrame Movie Support
With the PowerShot SX40 HS, you can also shoot video in the Apple™ iFrame
format, which is a computer-friendly standard that speeds up importing and
editing of videos. It keeps file sizes small, making it more convenient to
upload or e-mail high-quality videos. The iFrame format enjoys native support
in compatible Mac and Windows video applications, making it unnecessary to
perform time-consuming and often quality-degrading conversions. Vari-Angle LCD
The PowerShot SX40 HS features a convenient and highly useful 2.7-inch Vari-
Angle LCD screen that swivels out almost a full 180 degrees. It also rotates
through approximately 270 degrees, letting you tilt it up or down to shoot at
low or high angles. You can compose freely even when shooting from difficult
vantage points and use the full range of angle adjustment even when the camera
is mounted on a tripod. You can even rotate the LCD facing forward to capture
perfectly framed self-portraits and to join group shots. The PureColor System
LCD screen has 230,000 dots, giving you a crisp, clear picture to make
shooting, playback and using the camera’s menu functions especially
convenient. A Steady Image is a Beautiful Image Intelligent IS The latest
advance in Canon Optical Image Stabilization technology, Intelligent IS
analyzes camera movement and applies the best shake correction method for the
shooting situation. 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. With
Intelligent IS, you can concentrate on image capture, letting the camera make
the most effective IS settings to assure the steadiest possible image. 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. 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. Modes/Special Scene Modes Custom Define and store your own settings to
achieve the effects you prefer. Manual You have complete control of exposure,
selecting both aperture and shutter speed manually. Aperture-Priority You set
the aperture, controlling depth-of-field. The camera automatically selects the
shutter speed. Shutter-Priority You select the shutter speed to stop or blur
