Canon Innovation Enhances Your Experience

Processor with red-eye correction for sharper images and improved
functionality.
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 eyes can be corrected during playback.

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

Red-eye correction detects and corrects red-eye during playback. In unusual
cases where red-eye is not automatically detected, it can easily be corrected
manually during playback mode.
