12.1 Megapixel PowerShot G9. The successor to the
PowerShot G7 – recently named EISA European Advanced Compact Camera 2007-2008 –
the PowerShot G9 incorporates improvements driven by market feedback with a
range of user-oriented enhancements, including RAW image capture* and a redesigned grip and thumb rest for improved handling.
Other advancements include a high resolution 3.0” PureColor LCD II, enhanced
Face Detection Technology and Red-Eye Correction in playback˛. A wide range of
accessories – including optional lenses and Speedlite flash units – now also
features Canon’s Speedlite ST-E2 wireless flash transmitter.
“A combination of advanced features, precision
Canon optics and user-centric design made the PowerShot G7 our most successful
G-series camera yet,” explained Mogens Jensen, Head of Canon Consumer Imaging,
Europe. “By incorporating user requests and adding further enhancements, our
engineers have made a great camera even better.”
The PowerShot G9
features:
- 12.1 Megapixels (1/1.7” sensor) with RAW mode
for maximum image control
- 6x optical zoom lens with optical Image
Stabilizer and SR coating*
- DIGIC III and iSAPS for lightning fast
response, superb image quality and advanced Noise Reduction*
- Face Detection AF/AE/FE and Red-Eye Correction
in playback
- 3.0” high-resolution, PureColor LCD II with
extra wide viewing angle
- ISO 1600 and Auto ISO Shift
- Compact body with dedicated ISO and Multi
Control dials
- 25 shooting modes including full manual control
and 2 custom settings
- Extra telephoto reach with Digital
Tele-Converter and Safety Zoom*
- Hot shoe support for Canon Speedlite flashes and
optional lens accessories
Almost exactly a year after the PowerShot G7 was
announced Canon has launched its successor, the PowerShot G9 digital camera. Key
changes include the much-requested inclusion of a raw shooting mode, a bright
new 3.0-inch screen and a new 12.1MP 1/1.7-inch sensor. The face detection,
focus and handling have also been improved (the latter through a redesign of the
grip and the addition of a small thumb grip) and the G9 is now compatible with
Canon's ST-E2 wireless flash transmitter. One thing we have all asked for has
now returned; RAW capture. The 6x optically-stabilized zoom remains the
same.
Canon PowerShot G9 digital camera
: Canon launches its new flagship compact for advanced photographers -
the 12.1 Megapixel PowerShot G9. The successor to the PowerShot G7 - recently
named EISA European Advanced Compact Camera 2007-2008 - the Canon PowerShot G9
incorporates improvements driven by market feedback with a range of
user-oriented enhancements, including RAW image capture and a redesigned grip
and thumb rest for improved handling. Other advancements include a high
resolution 3.0” PureColor LCD II, enhanced Face Detection Technology and Red-Eye

explained Mogens Jensen, Head of Canon Consumer Imaging, Europe. “By

Canon PowerShot G9 - RAW image
recording
With an enlarged 12.1 Megapixel (1/1.7”) sensor, the
Canon PowerShot G9 gives photographers the flexibility to crop images and
produce high quality prints up to A2 size. The addition of RAW image recording
and simultaneous RAW+JPEG recording offers advanced users complete control over
image processing. The supplied ZoomBrowser software includes RAW Image Task for
fine adjustment of settings such as exposure compensation, white balance, tonal
curve and colour temperature. RAW images can then be converted into either JPEG
or TIFF format.
Canon PowerShot G9 camera - 6x optical zoom lens
Exceptional optical performance is assured by the fast f/2.8 (W) - f/4.8 (T)
Canon 6x optical zoom lens (35-210mm focal length, 35mm equivalent), which
includes a double-sided aspherical lens element to counteract lens distortions.
The addition of SR coating significantly reduces ghosting and chromatic
aberration, while Canon’s optical Image Stabilizer technology counteracts the
effects of camera shake. The risk of image blur is further reduced by ISO Shift,
which allows an instant ISO boost whenever camera shake threatens to affect
image quality. Benefiting from the large pixel count, Safety Zoom allows extra
digital zoom with no interpolation - images can be captured at up to 15x zoom
with enough resolution for lab-quality postcard (10 x 15cm) prints. Digital
Tele-Converter adds extra telephoto reach to every shot (1.5x or 2.0x), without
any reduction in aperture.
Canon G9 - Face Detection Technology
& Red Eye correction
The Canon PowerShot G9 offers high speed
operation and accurate image rendering through Canon’s DIGIC III processor,
which also powers Face Detection Technology. In addition to focus and exposure
control, Face Detection Technology has been improved on the Canon G9 to adjust
for flash exposure - particularly helpful when using the flash close to a
subject. A new Face Select and Track function enables the user to manually
select and track an individual face from up to 35 faces detected in frame.
Photographers will also benefit from Red-Eye Correction in playback, allowing
in-camera removal of red-eye from captured images.
Canon PowerShot G9
camera - Designed for photographers
Built for photo-enthusiasts, the
Canon PowerShot G9 provides external controls that include a dedicated ISO dial,
multi-control dial and customisable shortcut button. The analogue-inspired
design of the Canon G9 has been updated on this model with a textured coating
and a black alumite lens ring. A larger grip and pronounced thumb rest ensure
secure and comfortable handling. On the back of the camera, a 3.0” PureColor LCD
II offers several benefits. With 230,000 pixels resolution, the high contrast
screen provides vastly improved colour reproduction and better visibility at
wider angles of view. An anti-reflective coating helps in sunny conditions,
while a protective layer guards against knocks and scrapes. The Canon PowerShot
G9 retains its optical viewfinder for extra framing flexibility.
Canon PowerShot G9 - Shooting modes
Advanced photographers
will benefit from a selection of 25 shooting modes that includes full Manual, Av
and Tv, along with two custom modes for user-defined settings. Shooting modes
are complemented by a variety of features that assist creative shooting. Safety
MF performs fine adjustments to aid manual focusing, while Safety FE reduces the
risk of blown highlights when using the flash. Photographers can now choose a
smaller AF frame size for finer focusing control - particularly helpful when
using the camera’s 1cm Macro mode. Other useful features include an in-built ND
(Neutral Density) filter, AEB (auto exposure bracketing), focus bracketing and a
live histogram display. A new Image Resize function lets users downsize
full-resolution images to 1600x1200, 640x480 and 320x240 sizes. This is equally
useful for conserving storage space or preparing images for email or the Web.
Canon PowerShot G9 digital camera - Movie functions
The
photographic features of the Canon PowerShot G9 are matched by a powerful array
of movie capabilities. In addition to VGA (30fps) and high resolution XGA
(15fps) movie recording, the Canon G9 introduces LP (Long Play) mode. This mode
offers movies of half the file size without compromising on resolution or frame
rate. The new Time Lapse Movie function allows the extended capture of changing
scenes - such as a blooming flower, or bustling city streets - for accelerated
playback as smooth VGA-quality movie clips.
Canon G9 - Speedlite flash units
& System accessories
With hot shoe support for Canon Speedlite
EX series flash units, the Canon PowerShot G9 is ideal for existing Canon EOS
digital SLR users or those seeking to experiment with creative flash
photography. The camera supports the Speedlite ST-E2 wireless file transmitter
for multi-flash setups. Additionally, the camera’s menu can be used to control
flash settings for the recently launched Speedlite 580EX II. The Canon PowerShot
G9 is compatible with a range of optional lens accessories, including wide
(0.75x) and tele (2.0x) converter lenses. A waterproof case allows for shooting
at depths of up to 40 metres. Offering a level of flexibility typically only
found on digital SLRs, the Canon G9 provides photo enthusiasts with a camera
that’s fully equipped to lift the limits of their creative potential.
Canon PowerShot G9 - PictBridge printing
Full PictBridge
support means users can print directly to any PictBridge compatible printer
without the need for a PC. A Print/Share button allows one-touch printing and
easy uploads to Windows or Mac systems.
