Canon’s New DiG!C 4 Image Processor
Canon recently welcomed a new member to its digital camera
family. The DiG!C 4 Image Processor, the successor to
Canon’s DiG!C III, has been incorporated into some of the
latest digital SLR Cameras and high-end digital compact
cameras. Canon is known for making cameras that enable users
of all skill levels to take beautiful photos. The DiG!C 4
Image Processor has taken Canon’s trademark ease-of-use,
high-tech features and image quality to a whole new level.
Canon’s face detection technology has long enabled
photographers to take better portraits of people and pets.
With the DiG!C 4 Image Processor, Canon has improved upon
this convenient feature. Now, even faces at an angle or in
profile can be quickly and easily detected. Another
improvement is the Face Detect Self Timer. This function
puts a new twist on the self-timer. Instead of waiting a set
period of time before taking the picture, the Face Detect
Self Timer detects when a new face has entered the frame,
and this is what triggers the camera to take the picture.
In addition to enhanced photos of people, DiG!C 4 Image
Processor is making it easier to take sharp action shots,
increasing the speed of Canon’s Motion Detection technology.
In addition, DiG!C 4 has enabled Canon to include a High ISO
Auto feature which automatically sets the right ISO and
shutter speed based on how fast the subject is moving. Your
action shots will be crisper than ever before.
Canon’s brand new Servo AF technology, which is part of the
DiG!C 4 feature set, also helps you take clear pictures of
moving subjects. Continuous subject tracking and focus of a
moving subject means you can quickly capture the perfect
moment without having to recompose the shot.
Intelligent Contrast Correction gives the user greater
flexibility in correcting the colour contrast of their
photos. Corrections can be made both during shooting and
after, automatically brightening up the faces of your
subjects. Intelligent Contrast Correction simplifies
photography by increasing your ability to point and shoot
regardless of the ambient lighting.
The amazing power of the DiG!C 4 Image Processor has also
been harnessed to boost your movie shooting capabilities.
You can now record video for longer time periods without
losing image quality. The key is the DiG!C 4’s movie codec,
which compresses the size of the data but not the quality of
the image. You can record at the highest level of quality
while still using less memory.
On top of all these new features, the addition of the DiG!C
4 Image Processor has also achieved greater noise reduction.
Image quality remains high even when you’re shooting at high
ISO speeds. The DiG!C 4 Image Processor has taken everything
that’s great about Canon’s line of digital cameras and made
it even better.
