and good looks fool you. This slick little device may stand out
from the crowd, but it'll also deliver brilliant still images,
ultra-detailed 1080p Full HD video, serious functionality, and a
wealth of effects and automatic settings. You'll be surprised how

Optical Zoom, and 12.1 Megapixels help you snap great photos
everywhere.
The ELPH 300 HS is less than an inch deep and weighs less than 5
ounces. Ultra wide-angle 24mm lens and 5x optical zoom on board.
Canon's HS SYSTEM improves shooting in low-light situations
without the need for a flash, and lowers noise levels at higher
ISO settings.
Incredibly Thin. Incredibly Powerful.
-------------------------------------
Thin Is In
----------
At less than an inch deep and weighing just under five ounces,
the Power 300 HS will fit right in your pocket, but it packs
plenty of power into its sleek point-and-shoot body. A 24mm ultra
wide-angle lens with a powerful 5x optical zoom gives you the
versatility to shoot in any number of situations, and the optical
image stabilizer keeps things from getting too shaky when you're
zoomed in tight. Whether you're out partying or just walking
around town, you don't need to sacrifice style for power--the
Power ELPH 300 HS has got you covered for capturing great
photos effortlessly.
No More Dark Photos
-------------------
Canon's HS SYSTEM improves shooting in low-light situations
without the need for a flash, and lowers noise levels at higher
ISO settings.
The Canon HS SYSTEM takes the frustration out of low-light
shooting, delivering clear, blur-free s with all the ambiance
intact, and freeing you from the sometimes unwanted effects of
using the flash. Beautiful low-light s are possible at both
low and high ISO speeds, and the dynamic range is expanded to
retain maximum detail in highlight and shadow areas.
The system is the result of two technologies brought together in
this compact Power. The first is the 12.1 Megapixel CMOS
Sensor, which positions the light-receiving surface for optimal
light reception. More light means clearer, blur-free images with
plenty of detail and nuance, even in dark areas. Working together
with the CMOS sensor to deliver the HS SYSTEM is Canon's advanced
DIGIC 4 Image Processor, which actively reduces noise and
delivers high speed image processing.
Canon’s HS System provides dramatically greater sensitivity than
your average camera with identical or greater megapixel counts.

The HS Megapixel Advantage
--------------------------
There's more to megapixels. Canon's HS System provides
dramatically greater sensitivity than your average camera with
identical or greater megapixel counts. That means you don't need
excessive megapixels to achieve spectacular images with minimal
noise, and you get equally impressive results out of the 12.1
megapixel ELPH 300 HS.
Memorable Moments in Full HD
----------------------------
Experiencing the brilliance of HD video in a Canon Power ELPH
digital camera has never been easier. With the convenient
dedicated movie button, you'll be able to instantly record
everyday moments in high-definition detail at the push of a
button. Record in Full 1080p HD with stereo sound, and pick up
the optional HTC-100 HDMI cable for viewing your footage directly
on your HDTV.
You can also use the optical zoom while shooting video, so you
can get in nice and close--plus, no need to worry about shaky
footage thanks to dynamic image stabilization to keep your videos
steady!
Capture video in Full 1080p HD resolution, and add an optional
HDMI cable for enjoying directly on your HDTV.
A Power that Keeps Up with the Action
-----------------------------------------
Sometimes, the action just won't stop for you. The Power ELPH
300 HS comes equipped with a High-Speed Burst Mode that can
capture eight frames per second. Just hold down the shutter
button and catch rapid-fire action sequences--perfect for
sporting events!
You can also add a fun slow motion effect to your videos, using
Super Slow Motion Movie. Super Slow Motion Movie will record your
clips at a high speed, so that when you watch your videos,
they'll play back in slow motion--a great feature for analyzing
sports play-by-play, or just for creating fun visual effects.
Advanced Smart AUTO for Stills and Videos that Shine
----------------------------------------------------
The Power ELPH 300 HS digital camera takes the quality of
your still images and videos to a whole new level--automatically.
The camera's advanced Smart AUTO system detects a wealth of
information about the scene you're shooting, then automatically
selects the optimal settings for you. Now with an expanded range
of 32 shooting scenarios, the camera handles a wide variety of
situations, freeing you up to concentrate on composing your
and capturing the moment you're looking for. From portraits to
landscapes to action scenes, the Power ELPH 300 HS digital
camera has you covered, whether you're shooting stills or videos.
