- Overview
Designed for the Demanding Family Photographer
Even when the kids can't sit still and the light is less than ideal, the amazing PowerShot A570 IS lets you capture life's special moments - perfectly. Optical Image Stabilizer Technology keeps images crisp even when you're zoomed way in. The ISO 1600 and High ISO Auto settings reduce blur when the lights are down low. Plus, the A570 IS is packed with easy-to-use creative and convenient features you'll love.
- Features
Catch Them in Motion. Canon's most affordable A-Series digital camera with proprietary Optical Image Stabilizer Technology for steady shooting at all zoom settings
Life doesn't give you second chances to capture special times. That's why the elegant PowerShot A570 IS is equipped with Canon's acclaimed Image Stabilizer Technology that automatically detects and corrects camera shake - one of the leading causes of fuzzy or blurred shots. So now even when you're zooming in tight you can get the steady, crisp, brilliant images you'll be proud to shoot and share. And Canon's Image Stabilizer Technology is so convenient to use. Just turn it on, it functions perfectly with or without a flash.
New Features, Better Pictures, Greater Simplicity. 7.1 Megapixel resolution and powerful Canon 4x Optical Zoom lens in an elegant silver metallic body for those must have family moments
Just imagine what you can do with 7.1 megapixels! You'll be able to crop and enlarge your pictures to reveal the tiny details and exquisite depth that make every image come alive. Plus, the powerful Canon 4x Optical Zoom Lens lets you zoom in tight and fast. So no matter where the action is, you'll be up close - and have the breath-taking images to prove it.
Designed to go where family life takes you, the PowerShot A570 IS has a silvery metallic body that's smoothly contoured so it's easy to hold and easy to shoot.
Canon Technology Maximizes Quality and Performance. DIGIC III Image Processor with improved Face Detection Technology and Red-eye Correction for sharper images and improved functionality
With DIGIC III, you get images of superior quality, the camera functions at top efficiency and battery life is significantly enhanced. What's more, DIGIC III enables Canon's newly improved 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 PowerShot A570 IS automatically pinpoints the faces in the scene and chooses the ideal focus point. To keep every face looking bright and natural - without scary red eyes - the camera controls exposure settings and flash, so every shot is just what you were shooting for.
DIGIC III features Face Detection AF/AE, which finds multiple faces in the frame and sets the most suitable focus point, when the shutter button is pressed halfway. And an additional new feature, Face Detection FE adjusts the flash, based on a person's face on the screen. Exposure and flash are controlled to ensure proper illumination of both the faces and the overall scene, eliminating the common problem of darkened or overexposed faces.
Red-Eye Correction detects and automatically corrects red-eye during playback for both regular and flash photography. In unusual cases where red-eye is not automatically detected, it can easily be corrected manually during playback mode from the LCD screen.
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.
See the Image in the LCD Clearly. Clear, high-resolution 2.5-inch LCD for easy on-camera viewing
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 picture to make shooting, playback and using the camera's menu functions especially convenient. Clear and bright, it also features Night Display for easy viewing in low light.
Canon Innovation Enhances Your Experience. ISO 1600 and High ISO Auto to reduce image blur and expand low-light shooting capability
The PowerShot A570 IS features new ISO 1600 and High ISO Auto settings that reduce the effects of camera shake and sharpen subjects in low-light situations, giving you greater flexibility for shooting.
