18x Optical Zoom
The powerful 18x Optical Zoom range (35mm equivalent: 25-450mm) on the PowerShot SX610 HS camera
is ideal for capturing memories of kids' achievements on the sporting field, recitals, plays and concerts - all
those times when your access to the action is limited. From landscapes and wildlife to city scenes and more,
this camera has you covered - all while fitting in your pocket. Zooming action is quick and precise, and genuine
Canon optics help ensure brilliant clarity. Chromatic aberration is compensated across the entire range, and
the lens's high optical resolving power works with the camera's high-resolution sensor and advanced image
stabilization systems to produce clear, sharp, beautifully detailed images at any zoom length.
Intelligent IS
It's easy to capture clear, steady images, even in low light without using a tripod. That's because the camera is equipped
with Canon's innovative Intelligent IS. The system automatically analyzes camera movement and applies the best shake
correction method for the shooting situation - allowing you to focus on framing and capturing your shot. For stills, the
system selects from Normal IS, Panning IS, Macro (Hybrid) IS and Tripod modes. When shooting video, the system
selects from Dynamic IS, Powered IS, Macro (Hybrid) IS and active Tripod IS modes. Icons clearly mark the image
stabilization mode, whether you're shooting still images or video.

Powered IS - Compensates for hand movement when shooting video at the telephoto end of the zoom range, where camera shake is magnified |
Macro (Hybrid) IS - Corrects for motion blur that is likely to occur when shooting video while walkin Also compensates for the shift-type camera shake common in macro shooting |
Active Tripod IS - When shooting video while using a tripod, the image stabilization is active to compensate for slight camera shake |
