Recording Features
LCD Touchscreen Monitor: The Canon PowerShot S110 has a
3.0" TFT LCD touchscreen monitor, featuring 461,000 dots with approximately
100% picture coverage. The touchscreen recognizes touch and swipe actions to
move through menus and recorded images, and pinch actions to move from single
image display to thumbnail image (index) display. The Touch Shutter function
lets you control the shutter release by touching the screen.
Image Sensor: The camera is equipped with a 1/1.7" CMOS
image sensor with 13.3-million total pixels, and 12.1-million effective pixels.
Along with the new DIGIC 5 Image Processor, the S110 gives you clear photos with
accurate colors and less noise.
Face Detection Technology: The DIGIC 5 chip's Face Detection
Technology finds and tracks the faces of moving subjects until you're ready to
shoot, then delivers perfect focus. In addition, exposure, flash, and white
balance are compensated, so that faces exhibit natural skin tones and
backgrounds are properly exposed.
Smart Shutter: Smart Shutter technology automatically takes
a picture a short time after the camera detects a specific change in the scene.
There are three Smart Shutter functions:
- Face Self-Timer: The Face Self-Timer automatically
detects an increase in the number of faces, and makes the appropriate
adjustments. When the Face Detection Self-Timer is set, the camera waits for
the photographer's face to get on-camera before it takes the shot. The
camera will shoot, two seconds after the new face is detected.
- Smile Self-Timer: The Smile Self-Timer captures smiles
by tracking your subject's face and automatically releases the shutter as smiles are detected.
- Wink Self-Timer: The Wink Self-Timer lets you set the camera in a
"shooting standby" mode after the shot is composed. When a designated person
in the frame winks, the camera takes a picture, two
seconds after the wink is detected.
Optics and Stabilization: The S110 has a 5x optical
zoom lens with a 5.2-26mm focal length (35mm equivalent is 24-120mm). The built-in
lens shift-type Image Stabilizer (Intelligent IS) helps control camera shake to give you clear images
when you're zoomed way in. Image Stabilization can be set to Dynamic IS for
strong camera shake, Powered IS for panning, or Hybrid IS for macro shots.
Zoom: In addition to the 5x optical zoom, the camera
features a 4x digital zoom. When used in combination, the total zoom is
approximately 20x.
Digital Tele-Converter: The focal length of the lens can be
increased by an equivalent of 1.5x or 2.0x through the use of the Digital Tele-Converter. The equivalent focal lengths of the lens (35mm equivalent) are
36-180mm when using the 1.5x digital tele-converter, and 48-120mm with the 2.0x tele-converter. The digital zoom and digital tele-converter cannot be used
simultaneously.
Recording Media:
The camera records still images or moving images with stereo audio on SD Memory
Cards (2GB or less), SDHC Memory Cards (4GB to 32GB), and SDXC Memory Cards
(32GB and higher). The camera has no built-in memory, and no memory card is
included with the camera.
Built-in Wi-Fi: Built-in Wi-Fi allows you to wirelessly
transfer your images to social network sites (through the Canon iMage Gateway),
to a PC or upload virtually anywhere on your iOS or Android device (using Canon
CameraWindow app), share images between Wi-Fi-enabled PowerShot cameras, and
even print your images on an Wi-Fi-compatible printer.
Note: The camera is compatible with iOS Ver.4.3 or
later, and Android devices version 1.1.1.11 or later. Wireless LAN
specification: IEEE802.11b/g/n.
GPS via Mobile: You can record GPS+ data on your smartphone,
using the free Canon CameraWindow downloadable app, and wirelessly (via Wi-Fi)
add the location data to the images in your camera. The app allows you to record
location data, such as latitude, longitude, altitude, and shooting time onto
your pictures.
Image Formats: Still images are recorded in JPEG
and RAW formats. A RAW image is raw data recorded with nearly no deterioration
in image quality resulting from image processing inside the camera. You can use
the supplied software to adjust the image in any way you like with minimal loss
in image quality. Movies are recorded in MOV format (Image data: MPEG-4 AVC/H.264, Audio data: Linear PCM
(stereo)).
Still Image Resolution/Compression:
The S110 can record still images in 4 different sizes (Large, Medium 1,

Metering Modes: You can select from the following metering modes:
-
Evaluative
Light Metering: used for standard
conditions. The area within the frame is divided into several zones and
light is measured based on subject position, brightness, direct light and
backlighting.
-
Center-Weighted
Averaging: averages the exposure from the entire image, but places more
weight on the subject at the center
-
Spot: meters
the area within the spot AE point at the center of the LCD monitor or
viewfinder.
Exposure Compensation:
If you are shooting against a bright background or strong backlight, you may
need to correct the exposure so that the subject doesn't come out too dark. You
can set the adjustments from -3 to +3 in 1/3-step increments.
Locking the
Exposure Setting (AE Lock): You can set
the exposure and focus separately. This is effective when the contrast is too
strong between the subject and background, or when a subject is backlit. Flash
Exposure Lock (FE Lock), just as with the AE lock, lets you lock the exposure
for shooting with the flash.
White Balance: You
can choose from the following white balance settings: Auto, Daylight, Cloudy,
Tungsten, Fluorescent, Fluorescent H, Flash, Underwater, and Custom.
Flash Modes: The PowerShot S110 has a built-in
pop-up flash.
You can select Auto (flash fires in low light),
Slow-synchro, On (flash always fires), or Off (flash doesn't fire). The
built-in flash has a range of 1.6' to 23' in Wide Angle and 1.6' to 7.5' in
Telephoto. In the menu, you can turn on the Red-Eye Reduction lamp for the
flash, and apply Red-Eye Correction to the images that have been taken. As with
Exposure Compensation, you can adjust the Flash Exposure Compensation +/- 2
stops in 1/3-stop increments when using the flash.
ISO Speed: The ISO speed can be set
Automatically (ISO Auto), or manually between ISO 80 and ISO 12800 in 1/3 EF
steps (23 steps). Lowering the ISO speed results in sharper images but there's a
greater chance of subject or image blurring in certain shooting conditions.
Raising the ISO speed results in a faster shutter speed, reducing blurred
images. The images, however, will appear more coarse.
My Colors: You
can choose the look and feel of the photos you take by using My Colors to add
the following effects to the image you are currently recording or have already
recorded: Vivid, Neutral, Sepia, B/W, Positive Film, Lighter Skin Tone, Darker
Skin Tone, Vivid Blue, Vivid Green, Vivid Red, and Custom Color.
Display Overlay: You can customize the display with the
following overlays:
-
Shooting Info: A wide range of information on the shooting
conditions and settings will display on the viewfinder or LCD monitor.
-
Grid Lines: Displays gridlines dividing the monitor into 9 areas, allowing you to check
the subject's horizontal and vertical alignment.
-
Electronic Level: An electronic level is displayed on the screen as
a guideline to determine if the camera is level.
-
Histogram: A graphic display that shows the distribution of
brightness in an image horizontally.
Self-Timer: The S110 utilizes a 10-second, 2-second, and
a custom self-timer to allow
the photographer to be included in the shot, or to avoid camera shake when using
a tripod. The custom self-timer allows you to set the time delay to 1-15, 20, 25, or 30 seconds for up to 10 shots.
Playback,
Editing and Print Functions
Index Display:
This feature allows you to view 4, 9, 36, or 100 images at once on the LCD monitor so that
you can search for an image quickly. Movies cannot be played in the index
playback mode. You can view the index display by rotating the zoom lever toward wide angle while the camera is in playback
mode.
Filtered Playback: When there are many images on the memory
card, you can filter and display them by a specified filter. You can also
protect or delete all images at once while filtered. Available filters include:
Favorites, Shot Date, My Category, Type (Still/Movie), and Name.
Playback Displays: You can choose from the following types of displays:
No Information, Detailed Information, and Focus Check.
Red-Eye Correction:
You can correct red eyes in already recorded images. However, red eyes may not
be automatically detected in some images such as faces near the screen edge,
faces that appear extremely small, larger dark or bright in relation to the
overall image and faces turned to the side or at a diagonal and faces with a
portion hidden which prevents the Red-Eye Correction from working. You can
choose to overwrite the file with the corrected image, or store the image as a
new file, retaining the original image.
PictBridge/Direct Print: Using
the supplied USB cable, you can connect this camera directly to a PictBridge-compatible
printer of any brand, or a Canon printer that
