  • Key Specs
    • Effective Pixels: 16 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
  • General
    • Brand: Canon
    • Model Number: 9779B001
    • Product Name: PowerShot SX530 16.0-Megapixel HS Digital Camera
    • Color: Black
    • Digital Camera Type: Point and Shoot Cameras
  • Imaging
    • Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
    • Total Pixels: 16 megapixels (Generally, the more pixels, the higher the image resolution and the finer the detail that can be seen.)
    • Image Resolution (Display): 4608 x 3456 (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to either capture an image or display it. The higher the resolution the finer the image details.)
    • Zoom Capability: true (This function allows for magnification of the subject.)
    • Low Light/High Sensitivity: true (High sensitivity digital imaging devices are designed to work in low light conditions to produce a high dynamic range image.)
    • Image File Format(s): JPEG (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
  • Focus
    • Autofocus: true (Allows the camera to automatically focus through the lens, rather than by adjusting the lens manually.)
  • Exposure Control
    • Shutter Speeds: 1 - 1/2000 sec.; 15 - 1/2000 sec.(in Tv and M modes) (The length of time the shutter remains open when the shutter release is activated, expressed in fractions of seconds. The longer the shutter is open, the more light that is able to be captured by the camera sensor.)
    • Brightness Control: false (Allows the camera to adjust the brightness of a captured image for optimal exposure.)
    • Burst Mode: true (Also referred to as continuous shooting. This feature captures multiple shots in rapid succession.)
    • Self Timer: true
    • Self-Timer Delay: 10 seconds
    • Shooting Modes: M, Av, Tv, P, live view control, hybrid auto, auto, portrait, smart shutter (smile, wink self-timer, face self-timer) burst, snow and fireworks (Exposure modes employed by the photographer to control the optimal aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and other settings for capturing specific subjects/scenes. Examples include Aperture-Priority, Macro, and Manual modes.)
    • Panorama Mode: false
    • White Balance Modes: Auto, Daylight, Cloudy, Tungsten, Fluorescent, Fluorescent H, Custom (Settings that calibrates how the color white is rendered in an image/video, reducing the appearance of unnatural contrasts caused by various light sources.)
    • Effective Pixels: 16 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
  • Lens
    • In-Lens Image Stabilization: true (This feature helps reduce image blurring from camera motion. Lens stabilization means an element within the lens moves automatically to counteract detected motion.)
  • Flash
    • Flash Modes: Automatic, Off, Slow sync (The flash feature emits light to increase the brightness of a subject in dimly lit environments. Common modes include Auto and Red-Eye Reduction.)
    • Integrated Flash: true
  • Display
    • Display Type: LCD
    • Screen Size: 3 inches (Size of the screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner.)
    • Screen Resolution: 4608 x 2592 (Screens come in a range of resolutions (measured in pixels, horizontal x vertical). The higher the resolution, the greater the picture quality.)
    • Touch Screen: false (Touch-screen devices make navigating more intuitive. Using a touch-screen display, you can do things such as tap to select, hold and drag to move items, swipe to scroll, and pinch to zoom.)
  • Video
    • HDR Mode: false (HDR Mode uses multiple photos taken at different exposures to add more dynamic range to photographs. HDR technology displays content with greater contrast between bright and dark, resulting in clearer and more lifelike images.)
    • Slow Motion Recording: false
  • Storage
    • Number of Memory Card Slots: 1
  • Compatibility
    • Tripod/Monopod Mountable: true (A support function that allows the device to be mounted to monopods and tripods for leveling and stability.)

    • Remote Compatible: false
  • Features
    • Face Detection: false (A function that automatically detects human faces and then sets focus and appropriate exposure to capture them.)
    • Smile Mode: false (When enabled, this mode works in conjunction with face detection to automatically take a photo when a smile is detected.)
    • Integrated GPS: No
    • Records Audio: true
  • Connectivity
    • Output(s): HDMI
    • PictBridge Enabled: true (PictBridge allows digital cameras, camcorders and other image capture devices to connect and print directly to photo printers and other output devices without using a computer.)

Q: No built-in flash? How does it perform in low light indoors?

A: It automatically detects low lights and will tell you right on the display "Raise the Flash." If you want to shoot in low-light for some reason you can disregard and just snap the photo. Or you can just simply flip the flash up and then pop it back down when you're done with it. I prefer this to the mechanical flip-up flash. Less moving parts to accidentally go bad. Flip this flash up when you need it, pop it back down when you don't.

Q: Does this camera take good action shots? My son plays football and I'd like to get good quality photos.

A: I have had this camera since the beginning of September & took both photos and video of my daughter's cheer team on the football field. used the low light setting to take pictures at night & you can also set it to take multiple photos in a row so you get just the right shot. I highly recommend this camera.

Q: which memory card?

A: Any SanDisk "Extreme" 16 G or higher I would recommend , like the Pro.

Q: is it touch screen and what kind of battery is in

A: sorry, it's not a touch screen & it takes a lithium battery #NB-6LH, I got an extra one for 13.99 at Amazon.

Q: How do I set up wi-fi

A: There is a corresponding app for iOS, which can help you pair it to your phone or iPad. Check it out. Also, consult the manual for more advanced wifi features.

Q: Software

A: First visit the website and go to downloads to get the driver for your computer. After that you can then pair the device to your computer and lastly and you can transer photos and videos. Check the maual for information on downloading the driver from the website.

Q: Tripod

A: Yes it does. Weirdly the discription said it doesn't. But, yes it does for sure com with that.
