HD Movies High-quality movies can be recorded in HD 720p format with stereo sound and optical zoom. This makes the PowerShot SX130 IS the perfect family imaging tool. Smart Shutter with Wink Self-Timer Smart Shutter uses the face detection function and allows you to automatically capture an image in one of 3 different ways: Smile mode (when a smiling face is detected), Face Self-timer (waits for the photographer to join the frame and then takes the shot) or Wink Self-timer (where the shutter is fired 2sec after a wink is detected). Shooting modes include Miniature Effect movie New shooting modes make creative experimentation more enjoyable. Shoot with a Fish-eye lens effect, or Miniature Effect (which makes landscape images look like small models), opt for Super Vivid to boost colour saturation or select Poster Effect to give your subjects that retro feel. Hints & Tips Most functions in the shooting and playback menu are accompanied by short explanations for help on the spot to save time reading the manual. Full Manual Control Take complete control with Full Manual mode, which allows you to control the camera's shutter speed and aperture and create truly unique pictures. i-Contrast In shooting or playback, i-Contrast optimises the dynamic range according to the scene, retaining detail in shadows and preventing overexposure of highlights. The results are natural images with the best possible contrast.
