Canon Innovation Enhances Your Experience
New ISO 800 reduces image blur and expands low-light shooting ability.
The PowerShot A540 features a new ISO 800 setting that reduces the effects of camera shake and sharpens subjects in low-light situations with high shutter speeds, giving you greater flexibility for shooting.
Advanced Imaging Technology Improves Every Photo
DIGIC II Image Processor and iSAPS Technology for superior image quality, faster operation and lower power consumption.
Canon's DIGIC II Image Processor is designed to improve processing speed and image quality, so DIGIC II provides markedly faster startup, autofocus and playback, plus it assures that every image is more colorfully vibrant.
iSAPS Technology is an entirely original scene-recognition technology developed for digital cameras by Canon. Using an internal database of thousands of different photos, iSAPS works with the fast DIGIC II Image Processor to improve focus speed and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance.
