Enjoy stunning low light images with HS System
Capture the natural atmosphere of the scene, with less noise and clearer details, even in low light conditions. Explore a wider range of shots, like portraits at night or moving subject indoors, without having to worry about using a flash or stabilising the camera.
Create sharper photos and movies with Intelligent IS and Enhanced Dynamic IS
You don't need a steady hand to create stunningly detailed photos and videos. Canon's unique Intelligent Image Stabiliser automatically selects the most suitable shake correction from 7 modes, while 5-axis Enhanced Dynamic IS provides powerful image stabilisation when recording videos on the move. Together, they allow you to capture sharp pictures and videos - even when shooting at full zoom or in low light.

Perfect for shooting fast action and sports, simply hold down the shutter button to start shooting and release the button to stop, and you can capture split second actions in sequence of photographs.

A 922k dot capacitive touch screen offers simple, intuitive gesture-based operation.
Expert control
A Lens Control Ring allows quick control of functions such as zoom, aperture, shutter speed, focus or ISO. Use Full Manual mode and RAW with multi aspect support, for maximum control over composition and post-shot editing using the included DPP software. Refined ergonomics and a customisable FUNC. menu let you tailor the camera to your shooting style.
Capture the action with smooth Full HD Movies at 60 frames per second
Capture more true to life movie footage in 1080/60p Full HD with your digital camera. Canon's exclusive DIGIC 6 processor enables you to shoot fast-paced action at 60 frames per second, giving you smoother and more realistic footage, whilst also offering more options when experimenting with slow motion playback on your PC.
Wi-Fi, GPS via Mobile
Wi-Fi lets you connect easily with home wireless networks, compatible printers and PCs, plus smart devices for easy online sharing and GPS tagging of your images with shooting locations. Image Sync enables convenient PC and online backup via CANON iMAGE GATEWAY or Flickr.
Star Mode
Using the increased processing power of DIGIC 6, Star Mode lets you capture stunning starry nightscapes with ease. Three shooting modes are available: Star Nightscape shoots landscapes against starry skies, Star Trails captures the movement of the stars by combining multiple images into a single composite image, while Star Time-Lapse Movie combines still images, taken at set time intervals over a long period, to create stunning movies.
Background Defocus
Background Defocus is a creative filter that mimics the background blur of images taken by an SLR with a wide aperture lens. It takes two consecutive shots, one in focus and one out of focus and combines them into a composite image with beautiful background blur. You can select from three different levels of background blur to achieve stunning portraits and close up shots with the exact blurring effect you want.
Handheld HDR
HDR Mode let you capture the dark shadows and bright highlights of a high contrast scene. Thanks to the speed of DIGIC 6, you can achieve HDR without using a tripod or fixing the camera on a steady surface. It captures a fast continuous sequence of shots, and then combines the data into a single file with the least possible blur and best possible exposure for images closer to how you saw them. You can also choose from 5 finishing effects: Natural, Art Bold, Art Standard, Art Vivid and Art Embossed.
Optional Waterproof Case
Protect your camera underwater down to 40m.
