PowerShot SX60 HS – World’s highest class 65x zoom lens in a compact form
Possessing the world’s highest zoom capability in its class at 65x optical zoom, the 16.1 megapixel PowerShot SX60 HS is ideal for travel and sports photographers, where zoom empowers users to capture subjects from long distances The PowerShot SX60 HS has a dynamic zoom range, going from an ultra wide angle 21mm to a far-reaching 1365mm. To improve stability at high zoom in the PowerShot SX60 HS, a large premium grip with leather-like material and flexible elastomer material enables the camera to be held comfortably. The Zoom Framing Assist button is ergonomically placed on the lens barrel to allow convenient activation while maintaining a solid grip, thereby allowing the user to shoot for prolonged periods of time and minimizing fatigue. Boasting a macro mode of 0cm, the PowerShot SX60 HS will be able to capture minute objects and close-up shots vividly. Integrated with Canon’s ZoomPlus technology, the camera’s optical zoom is doubled and its reach further extended to 130x zoom, enabling it to capture the fine details of distant subjects.
The PowerShot SX60 HS is also armed with Advanced Zoom Framing Assist feature, and Zoom Memory to harness high-magnification shooting to help the user maintain a well-composed shot. Under the Advanced Zoom Framing Assist feature, the Seek Assist function allows the camera to intelligently detect panning and reacquire a fast-moving subject that has moved out of frame by automatically zooming out to the widest angle for a view of the entire scene. Once the subject is found and re-framed, the PowerShot SX60 HS automatically reverts to the previous zoom level to resume shooting. Zoom Memory, when activated, saves the last used zoom and manual focus settings, even after the camera has been turned off, making it a handy feature for users to recompose the shot following a battery or SD card change.
Advanced movie functions for greater user control
The PowerShot SX60 HS grants unprecedented control in video recording on a compact camera with Manual Movie mode. This mode allows advanced users to adjust settings such as shutter speed, aperture and ISO. For enhanced sound-capturing quality, the PowerShot SX60 HS comes with an external microphone terminal that can be used in conjunction with an optional external microphone. The buttons and parts of the PowerShot SX60 HS are all designed to be silent to eliminate camera-related sound interference.
Flexibility to match individual styles of shooting
When shooting at high zoom, the PowerShot SX60 HS’s built-in electronic viewfinder (EVF) allows the user to compose the shot with more stability and to avoid disruptive sun-glare. With an advanced display with 922,000 dots, images seen through the EVF will be sharp and highly detailed. A flip-out vari-angle LCD monitor, which can be rotated to many different angles, also allows comfortable composition of either high or low angle shots.
Freedom from wired connections with Wi-Fi and NFC connectivity
Equipped with in built Wi-Fi and NFC capabilities, the PowerShot SX60 HS can be connected effortlessly to smartphones, tablets, printers, and other smart devices for the uploading of photos and videos directly to Canon Image Gateway as well as other social networking sites. Additionally, users can easily do remote shooting via Canon CameraWindows app installed on smartphones.
