Power O.I.S. means that when your hands are shaky, your film won’t be
POWER OIS has around five times the corrective power of conventional systems to effectively suppress blurring from low-frequency vibration. You can be sure of clear, blur-free images even with 16.8x optical zooming. It also includes an Active Mode to ensure beautiful images across the entire range from wide-angle to telephoto.
Get more in the frame with a widelens and 16.8x zoom
With a 42.9mm wide-angle lens, the SD40 is fantastic for recording indoors or in tight spaces. It makes it possible to shoot your subject at a close distance and still fit the surrounding area into the frame. It also means the voice of the subject can be clearly recorded, which is an important element in video recordings. Meanwhile, the Optical Zoom 16.8x ensures magnificent images because there is no degradation in image quality.
Let iA (Intelligent Auto) do all the hard work
The iA (Intelligent Auto) mode features the special Face Recognition function that recognises the faces of previously registered subjects and automatically optimises the focus and exposure for those people. iA even continues to track the subjects as they move anywhere within the LCD frame, making it ideal for video shooting.
Share your memories via your favourite social networking sites
For easier sharing of your memories, the included software makes it quick and easy to upload your videos to YouTube and Facebook. For added convenience, the SD40 also supports the iFrame (960 x 540/30p) video recording format, which is optimal for Mac users to import quickly and maintain small file sizes.
