Sorry, we have no items in stock.
Description
The 12.1 megapixel Canon Powershot SX40 HS features an amazing ultra-wide 35x optical zoom lens with image stabilizer, Canon's HS (High Sensitivity) system for great low light photos, Full HD and high-speed shooting plus numerous manual modes for creative photography.
Massive Optical Zoom
The 35x ultra wide-angle zoom featured on the SX40HS covers the equivalent of 24-840mm – everything from an ultra-wide perspective to one similar to looking through binoculars. The lens setup also features an Ultrasonic motor for effortless and near silent focusing, ideal for movie recording.
High Speed (HS) System and Intelligent IS
The SX40 uses a high sensitivity 12.1 megapixel CMOS sensor which is ideal for both low light and fast moving action, along with the inclusion of the super efficient DIGIC 5 image processor. The Image Stabiliser featured on this model gives up to 4.5-stops correction. In other words you can shoot at shutter speeds four-and-a-half stops slower than not having IS, for the same amount of light. The Intelligent IS function automatically chooses from 7 possible IS modes for sharp, stable photos and videos in a variety of challenging conditions.
Full HD Movies
Record your movie clips in Full 1080p HD quality, and there is also HDMI-CEC connectivity for lossless HDTV viewing and control of playback using the TV’s remote.
Smart Auto and Multi Area White Balance
The Smart Auto feature automatically selects settings from 32 still scenes and 21 movie combinations for the best possible image quality. Multi-area White Balance deals with separate areas of an image independently. This is ideal for areas with multiple light sources, for example taking a photo in a room with a window letting in daylight plus lighting from both traditional bulbs and fluorescent tubes. Usually a real headache, but not for the SX40 HS.
Electronic Viewfinder and Vari-Angle LCD
The SX40 has a 2.7-inch (6.8cm) vari-angle PureColor II VA LCD monitor for an extra clear and sharp view. However for those who prefer a traditional viewfinder there is also included an EVF (Electronic Viewfinder).
Additional Features
- High-speed Burst HQ – Full resolution bursts at up to 10.3 frames per second for up to 8 shots
- Zoom Framing Assist– keeps track of remote subjects at full zoom. As you engage this mode, the camera will zoom out, ready to zoom back in to your subject the moment you release the button
- Manual modes including focus, exposure (aperture and shutter speed) ISO sensitivity and white balance
