  • Key Specs
    • Image Sensor Size: Other
    • Effective Pixels: 20.2 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
  • General
    • Brand: Canon
    • Model Number: 1072C001
    • Product Name: PowerShot SX620 HS 20.2-Megapixel 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.)
    • Image Sensor Size: Other
    • Image Resolution (Display): 5184 x 3888 (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.)
    • Digital Zoom: 4x (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
    • Optical Zoom: 25x (The optical zoom uses a combination of lenses that magnify the image prior to it being registered at high resolution by the imaging sensor.)
    • 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): DCF, DPOF, Exif 2.3, 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.)
    • Eye Autofocus (Eye AF): false (Automatically seeks out and focuses on the subject's eye and holds it as the camera and subject move and as the photographer shoots at high frame rates.)
  • Exposure Control
    • Shutter Speeds: 15 - 1/2000 sec. (in all shooting 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: P, Hybrid Auto, Auto, Creative Shot, Portrait, Smile, High-speed Burst, Monochrome, Fireworks and more (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.)
    • 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: 20.2 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
  • Flash
    • Flash Modes: Automatic, Fill-in, 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: TFT-LCD
    • Screen Size: 3 inches (Size of the screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner.)
    • Screen Resolution: 922,000 dots (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.)
    • Varying Angle Screen: false (The camera's screen can be flipped out and adjusted to rotate, tilt, and/or swivel.)

Q: how long does this camera shoot videos length wise

A: The maximum length for a video clip is 29 min 59 sec.

Q: Does this camera has panoramic feature?

A: No Pano feature that I see on my new 620 but has others fun modes like toy train and vivid that are fun to use plus many more. The zoom is excellent and perfect for pocket or small purse while traveling. Nice go to camera if you do not want to take a heavier DSL. Takes excellent images even in Auto and long battery life. Found that some stores do not have battery to be used as backup that will work and display an error note when inserted. Go directly to Canon for the one that will or try in store before you leave to save time.

Q: How long does it take the battery to recharge?

A: For the Canon "genuine" 1250 mAh battery from full discharge it takes about 3 hours. CAUTION! There are other cheaper off-brands available mostly with HALF the mAh ratings so you take considerably fewer pictures with longer and more frequent charging.

Q: Does the flash feature work automatically or is manual release of the flash unit required.

A: The flash can be set to operate in AUTO but it will fire only when it is in the up position. You have to manually move a release button to allow the flash to pop up. Actually this can be an advantage in situations where flash photography is not allowed (museums, theaters, etc.) By keeping the flash secured within the camera body, you can be assured that you will not violate any NO-FLASH rules. I have another camera that resets its flash option after each shot so I have had the accidental flash firing when I did not want it.

Q: Can this camera be hooked up directly through USB connector to computer?

A: Yes it can be used with USB cord. I have one that fits and works perfectly as connection to upload images to computer. It does not come with one in box.

Q: What kind of battery does this camera take?

A: It comes with a NB-13L battery pack.
