Superb Zoom for Spectacular Range 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

Still Image Shooting Normal IS Corrects for a wide range of camera movement when shooting stills

Panning IS Panning motion is detected so that IS does not interfere with desired camera movement

Macro (Hybrid) IS Corrects for shift-type camera shake, which typically occurs in macro (close-up) shooting

Tripod When tripod use is detected, the Image Stabilizer is stopped because it is not needed

Video Recording Dynamic Effective for video shooting at wide-angle focal lengths, eliminating the unwanted shaking that typically occurs while walking

Powered 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 walking

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

Utilizing a sophisticated light-capturing design, it provides high sensitivity for improved high ISO capture with reduced noise

It is also a high-speed design, capable of rapidly capturing and moving image data to the processor, enabling faster continuous shooting and faster autofocus

* Image processing may cause a decrease in the number of pixels DIGIC 4+ Image Processor The Canon DIGIC 4+ Image Processor powers the PowerShot SX610 HS camera's advanced functions and capabilities, including Hybrid Auto, Creative Shot, and Full HD video shooting at 30p in the easy-to-share MP4 format

Its accelerated processing speed creates fast, responsive performance, for a shooting experience that's easy and natural

The DIGIC 4+ Image Processor also enhances image quality in several ways

This significantly reduces noise for brilliant color, smooth gradations, and beautiful detail even in low light

The processor also allows for the integration of electronic Dynamic IS

This advanced system compensates for multiple motion types, effectively preventing angular blur, shift blur, and blur caused by parallel movement and tilt shift

The result is images that are reliably sharp and clear at all lengths of the camera's powerful zoom

The processor's highly efficient design also extends battery life

Canon HS SYSTEM helps provide excellent low-light performance The slim, compact PowerShot SX610 HS camera gives you the power to capture beautifully detailed, naturally lit images even in low light – reducing the need for flash and the occasionally unwelcome effects it produces

Rethink Photography with Creative Shot Creative Shot mode In addition to the versatile power of its amazing 18x Optical Zoom, the PowerShot SX610 HS camera also turns out impressive artistic photos with Creative Shot mode

Rather than randomly applying filters, Creative Shot mode takes advantage of advanced Canon technologies to analyze the individual scene, subject and exposure to apply any of 46 filter options

In addition to the original shot, the camera automatically produces and saves five additional variations of the composition

Filter choices are grouped into Retro, Monochrome, Special and Natural categories to make exploring the world of artistic photography fun and easy, or simply select Auto to access the full range of effects

With Creative Shot mode, the result is stunning artistic photos that are perfect for sharing

Shoot Carefree with Advanced PowerShot Technologies Hybrid Auto The PowerShot SX610 HS camera features Hybrid Auto, which records up to four seconds of video every time you shoot a still image, then automatically joins the clips and pictures* into a video that captures the essence of special days: vacations, important occasions, or any time you're shooting many shots in a day

With Hybrid Auto, this "highlight reel" is stunningly beautiful

Hybrid Auto automatically recognizes the scene and optimizes camera settings to capture the highest possible image quality
