Canon PowerShot A590IS Highlights 

8 megapixels with 4x optical zoom and optical image stabilizer
With the PowerShot A590 IS, dramatic, personal pictures have never been
easier to shoot and share. The 8.0-megapixel design lets you create
impressive high resolution images of family and friends you’ll be proud
display. The genuine Canon 4x zoom lens moves you in for powerful
close-ups -- like a bird in flight or a child’s winning goal -- at the
touch of a button. Plus, Canon’s highly sophisticated Optical Image
Stabilizer keeps every shot absolutely steady even when you’re not. 


 2.5-inch LCD screen
The camera’s 2.5-inch LCD screen gives you the big picture, whether
you’re shooting, reviewing or showing off your images. This
high-resolution screen offers a crisp, clear and bright picture. It
also features Night Display for easy viewing in low light. 

 New Easy Mode simplifies operation
Even if you’ve never picked up a camera before, with Canon’s new Easy
Mode you can take inspiring, dramatic pictures that will impress
everyone. Once you choose Easy Mode, the PowerShot A590 IS handles all
the details automatically. It automatically sets every camera control
including the flash to reduce blur and improve image quality. So you
get pictures that are bright, clear and natural just by pushing a
button. Best of all, you can relax and concentrate on what really
counts -- your subject.

 

 Selectable shooting modes With 19 Shooting Modes including 7 Special Scene Modes, you’re ready
for whatever shot comes your way. 

 DIGIC III Image Processor
With DIGIC III, your images boast superior quality, the camera operates
at top efficiency and battery life is enhanced. What’s more, DIGIC III
enables Canon’s Face Detection Technology and Red-eye Correction to
give you better, more true-to-life people shots. Simply press the
Shutter Button halfway down, and the camera automatically pinpoints the
faces in the scene and chooses the ideal focus point. The camera
controls exposure settings and flash to keep every face looking bright
and natural. Red-eye Correction can be handled in-camera, in two ways.
The entirely new Red-eye Correction during shooting uses the Face
Detection Technology to recognize and remove red-eye from flash images
as they're taken, before the file is written to the memory card. It's
also possible to correct red-eye during image playback, using simple
settings in the A590 IS's menu. 

 iSAPS Technology is
an entirely original scene-recognition technology developed for digital
cameras by Canon. Using an internal database of thousands of different
photos, iSAPS works with the fast DIGIC III Image Processor to improve
focus speed and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance. 

 Face Detection Technology
Canon's powerful Face Detection Technology delivers even better results
with the new A590 IS. The Face Detection Technology continues to
recognize faces in a scene, and concentrate exposure (daylight or
flash) and focus upon them. But the A590 IS adds more: Face Detection
WB means the camera concentrates upon faces when calculating white
balance for the best possible skin tones. Face Select and Track lets
the A590 IS user highlight one face among several in a scene, and the
camera concentrates on that person, even as they move around the scene.
Face Detection Technology is a powerful contributing factor in Canon's
new Motion Detection Technology. 

 Red-eye Correction Red-eye Correction provides three options for removing red-eye from subjects
in flash pictures.

High ISO
The PowerShot A590 IS features ISO 1600 and High ISO Auto settings that
reduce the effects of camera shake and sharpen subjects in low-light
situations, giving you greater shooting flexibility.

Motion Detection Technology automatically reduces blur
Life doesn’t stand still for picture-taking. That’s why Canon included
its advanced Motion Detection Technology in the PowerShot A590 IS. This
sophisticated feature works in the background to instantly evaluate how
fast your subject is moving. Then it automatically selects and sets the
optimal exposure and ISO settings to keep everything looking sharp and
clear. So whether you’re shooting a bride walking down the aisle, a
ballet recital or even a child’s soccer game, you can relax and shoot
with confidence knowing you’ve got the picture you intended.

Accepts Wide-Angle and Telephoto Converter Lenses
To expand your creativity, the PowerShot A590 IS is compatible with
shooting accessories such as wide and tele converter lenses, High-Power
Flash designed for all of the PowerShot models.
