Intelligent IS (Image Stabilizer)
The camera automatically selects the optimum
IS for all situations allowing users to capture crystal-clear,
picture-perfect moments whether they are capturing photographs or video.
The Intelligent IS eliminates shake by analyzing the motion of both the camera and subject, and identifies the shot type such as panning, macro or telephoto shot.

Zoom Framing Assist
With a powerful zoom lens it can often be
tricky to track a moving subject while zoomed out to the maximum
telephoto range. To counter this, Canon has created the Zoom Framing
Assist function.
By simply pressing and holding the convenient Zoom Framing Assist function button, the camera will automatically zoom out to a wider focal point, allowing you to look for your elusive subject. Once found, releasing the button will cause the camera to return to its original position and intelligently keep the subject in focus. Recording video and images have never been easier with a Canon PowerShot!
