anti-reflective coating. It also features Night Display for easy

A World of Advantages with Canon’s Technology
The DIGIC 4 image processor has evolved Face Detection
Technology that tracks the faces of moving subjects and lets the
shooter enter the frame seamlessly with the Face Detection
Self-Timer.
DIGIC 4 Image Processor
Canon’s most advanced image processor, DIGIC 4, delivers evolved
Face Detection Technology that keeps every face in every photo
looking its very best. The technology finds and tracks the faces
of moving subjects until you’re ready to shoot, then delivers
perfect focus. In addition, exposure, flash and white balance are
compensated, so that faces exhibit natural skin tones and
backgrounds are properly exposed.
iSAPS Technology is an entirely original scene-re
technology developed for digital cameras by Canon. Using an
internal database of thousands of different photos, iSAPS works
with the advanced DIGIC 4 Image Processor to improve focus speed
and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance.
A Face Detection Self-Timer automatically detects an increase in
the number of faces and makes the appropriate adjustments. For
instance, to include the photographer’s face in a group ,
there’s no need to rush in. Just put the camera on a stand or
tripod, specify Face Detection Self-Timer, and the camera will
wait for the photographer’s face to get on-camera before it takes
the . Motion Detection tracks moving subjects in a much
larger range, and the Servo AF retains focus on a moving subject
after the shutter button is pressed halfway--allowing you to wait
for the perfect without refocusing.
Intelligent Contrast Correction
DIGIC 4 also makes possible the i-Contrast (Intelligent Contrast
Correction) system, which controls the compensation level in
pixel units to brighten dark areas while leaving bright areas
unchanged for better images where the main subject is dark, and
more natural transition. The Power SD780 IS Digital ELPH can
even use i-Contrast in playback mode to adjust images that were
without the setting activated.
Red-eye Correction provides three options for removing red-eye
from subjects in flash pictures.
1) Red-eye Correction during shooting actually identifies and
corrects red-eye in human subjects as pictures are taken.
2) The Power SD780 IS Digital ELPH can be set to
automatically detect and correct red-eye during image playback.
3) You can manually locate any red eyes in a scene during image
playback on the LCD screen, and command the camera to remove
them.
Life doesn’t give you second chances to capture special times.
That’s why the Power SD780 IS Digital ELPH features an ISO
1600 setting that reduces the effects of camera shake and
sharpens subjects in low-light situations, giving you greater
shooting flexibility. ISO can be expanded to 3200 when you select
ISO 3200 Special Scene mode.
