Low-light shooting made easy
All four cameras give you fine control over ISO settings in 1/3rd stop
increments – the PowerShot S110 allows this via the quick and easy
to use lens Control Ring, while the PowerShot G15 and G1 X have
a shortcut on the rear multi-control dial. They all give you the
flexibility to set the maximum ISO level on the Auto ISO setting
(up to ISO 1600) and control over noise reduction in-camera.

DIGIC Imaging Processor – the brain
inside every Canon digital camera
The DIGIC processor ensures high image quality with
accurate colours, quick autofocus and low noise. All four
cameras use the newly-evolved DIGIC 5 processor, enabling
High-Speed Burst HQ mode which allows you to capture split-
second action with a burst of shots over a short amount of time.
Full HD Movies
As well as shooting stills, all cameras feature the ability to capture
Full HD (1080p) high definition movies with stereo sound and an
HDMI output port for easy, high quality playback via HDTV displays.
High-sensitivity sensors
and DIGIC processing
The PowerShot S110 and G15 both use
1/1.7 type high-sensitivity sensors, which
perform well in a range of conditions,
including low light. The PowerShot G1 X sensor, at 18.7x14mm, with
a surface area approximately 6.3x larger still, is specifically designed
to offer best-in-range low light performance and image quality.
Image sensors with a larger surface area allow for individual pixels
to be larger, and so are more efficient at gathering light. Combined
with Canon’s powerful DIGIC processing this leads to improved
low light performance with the ability to use a higher ISO setting
without encountering high levels of image noise. The Canon CMOS
sensors included in the PowerShot G and S series incorporate sensor
technologies that feature in our EOS range. On-chip noise reduction
eliminates unwanted noise at time of capture while an optimised
micro lens configuration ensures maximum light gathering efficiency.
Even though these cameras are compact in size they’re designed
to give superb image quality and perform in a range of conditions
including low light.
It’s the combination of lens, sensor and processor that decides the
image quality and Canon combines its leading optical technology
with the HS System (the combination of DIGIC processing and a
high-sensitivity sensor) to achieve market-leading image quality.
