4X OPTICAL ZOOM
At the heart of the PowerShot G5
is Canon’s powerful 4x, all-glass
zoom lens. With a 35mm
equivalent range of 35-140mm,
a large maximum aperture of
f/2.0-3.0, and macro focusing
down to 2 in., there’s virtually
nothing this lens can’t do. A
4x digital zoom feature extends
the telephoto capabilities even
further, effectively making it
a 16x zoom.
Two choices for autofocus: use
Canon’s FlexiZone AF to move
the focus point almost anywhere
in the frame, or lock it at the
center. Either way, you get
precise, tack-sharp focus, from
close-ups to scenics. There’s
even a focus bracketing feature,
which shifts focus slightly over
three separate pictures. Finally,
there’s a continuous AF setting –
which leaves the AF active any
time the camera is on – and
single AF, which updates focus
only when the shutter button is
pressed halfway. PowerShot G5
autofocus: the power of choice.
THREE METERING SYSTEMS
The PowerShot G5 gives users
three light metering choices.
Canon’s sophisticated Evaluative
metering reads tens of thousands
of separate areas of the full
image, and is the ideal metering
choice for most situations.
There’s also full-area Center-
weighted metering, which is
perfect for shooters who prefer
to dial in their own exposure
compensation. Finally, for the
utmost precision, there’s Spot
metering – which can measure a
tiny area either at the center of
the image, or can be linked to
the AF point if it’s off-center.
MANUAL SETTINGS
In addition to a host of
automatic features, the
PowerShot G5 allows for full
manual control. The user can
set shutter speeds of 1/2000 –
15 seconds, and adjust
aperture, focus, flash output
and exposure compensation.
Additionally, the PowerShot
offers features such as expo-
sure and focus bracketing, AF
and AE lock, even a neutral
density filter, ensuring total
control for even the most
discerning photographer.
