HS System
All HS System cameras use high-sensitivity
10.0 or 12.1 megapixel sensors with bigger
pixels than conventional higher resolution
models. Bigger pixels can capture more
light leading to increased sensitivity for
clearer, more refined images with less
unwanted noise.
Many models also feature back-illuminated
CMOS sensors, which can capture more light
than conventional CMOS sensors and
perform better in low light. The optimised
combination of these sensors and the DIGIC
processor is the key to HS System’s amazing
low light results.
Low Light Conditions
Compared to conventional cameras,
HS System captures images with up to
60% less noise, more visible detail and
more accurate colours in all lighting
situations. However, HS System truly excels
in low light conditions and apart from
providing superior image quality is also
able to overcome common low light
shooting problems such as capturing a well
exposed subject against a dark, night-time
background or capturing a moving subject
without blur when shooting indoors.
DIGIC Processing
Canon’s DIGIC processor is the brain inside
every Canon digital camera – processing
information from the image sensor for
optimum image quality and fast camera
operation. It offers near-instant startup,
superb detail and low noise (even at high
ISO) plus enhanced movie functionality.
DIGIC 5 is the latest evolution with all the
advantages of DIGIC 4 plus improved noise
reduction technology for up to 75% less
noise* in the results, faster image
processing, and special features such as
Multi-area White Balance and high-speed
shooting with full resolution.
Canon HS pixels. Photos will never be the same again.
Canon’s innovative HS System represents a cutting edge combination of a
high-sensitivity sensor and a powerful DIGIC processor that work together to give
premium image quality even in low light. This reduces the need to shoot with flash
or tripod, allowing you to capture the real, natural atmosphere of the moment.
