Beautiful Images and Fast Performance Start Here
------------------------------------------------
12.1 Megapixel High-Sensitivity CMOS sensor
-------------------------------------------
The Power G15 employs a Canon 12.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor,
which delivers state-of-the-art imaging performance and is
optimized for use in compact cameras. 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 5 Image Processor
-----------------------------
The latest-generation Canon DIGIC 5 Image Processor works with
the Power G15's image sensor to bring phenomenal increases in
processing speed and power, delivering incredible detail in more
situations, without the need for artificial light sources.
Improved noise reduction produces clearer images when shooting in
low light at high ISO speeds up to ISO 12800. The faster
processing speed results in faster continuous shooting capability
while maintaining full image quality. With the power of the DIGIC
5 Image Processor, the Power G15 can achieve higher ISO
sensitivity and even perform advanced functions like lens
correction, special scene modes and much more.
Canon HS SYSTEM for exceptional low-light performance up to ISO
12800
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Power G15 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 own latest-generation DIGIC 5 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 12800; beautiful low-light s are possible
with minimal noise and 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.

Faster Focus and High-speed Shooting
------------------------------------
High Speed AF greatly improves focus speed and High-Speed Burst
HQ allows for continuous capture at a maximum of 10 frames* while
maintaining superb image quality.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Power G15 is equipped with Canon's latest advancement in
AF technology: High Speed AF. The result of several improved
technologies, High Speed AF delivers significantly faster focus
speed for a super-responsive shooting experience that lets you
capture every great as it happens. Thanks to High Speed AF,
the Power G15's shooting time lag is dramatically reduced to
only 0.22 seconds. The technology also powers the camera's new
High-Speed Burst HQ, with continuous capture at a maximum speed
of approximately 10 fps. Moreover, images captured in High-Speed
Burst HQ maintain the camera's superb image quality.
* The continuous shooting speed is approximately 10.0 fps.
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 G15,
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.
Set Your Creativity Free
------------------------
Full range of shooting and modes, including 12-bit
multi aspect RAW+JPEG as found in Canon EOS DSLR cameras, for the
ultimate creative control.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
As with many EOS DSLR cameras, the Power G15 uses a 12-bit
converter to process the output of the CMOS sensor, resulting in
true color, smooth tonal transitions and natural gradations. The
Power G15 lets you shoot in RAW mode, which records all the
information captured by the sensor, giving you outstanding
flexibility and complete creative control when editing your
images with Canon's powerful bundled software, and the camera
allows you to record in RAW and JPEG formats simultaneously. Now
in RAW mode, you can even select among several aspect ratios,
including 16:9, 3:2, 4:3, 1:1, and 4:5.

A lens hood is included to block unnecessary light from outside
the angle of view.
Several Canon Speedlite flashes are also available for use with
the Power G15 to give you advanced options for exposure and
illumination*. Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX is perfect for close-up
and macro shooting, and the innovative Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX
