The Canon PowerShot SD1200 IS is designed with a 10-megapixel compact, a 2.5-inch LCD and 3x optical zoom. This canon is available in six colors, silver, dark gray, orange, green, pink, and blue. Controls are standard Canon. A switch on the back to set the three shooting modes: Smart Auto, Program/Scene, and Movie. A Play button on the left above a four-way directional pad is centered by a Func Set button. Below that is a Disp button for changing the information shown on the LCD or shutting it off and a Menu button. A shutter release with a zoom ring and power button are on top.
The Canon’s Smart Auto mode produces reliable results by choosing one of 18 scene modes depending on what we’re shooting. The Program mode can be used to set ISO, white balance, focus, light metering, and color effects. The list of scene modes with standards are the Portrait and Landscape and specialty ones, such as Fireworks and Long Shutter. There’s a Movie mode that records 640×480-resolution video at 30 frames per second. However, the optical zoom does not function while recording.

The DIGIC 4 Image Processor has evolved Face Detection Technology that tracks the faces of moving subjects and lets the shooter enter the frame seamlessly with the Face Detection Self-Timer. iSAPS Technology is an entirely original scene-recognition technology developed for digital cameras by Canon. Using an internal database of thousands of different photos, iSAPS works with the advanced DIGIC 4 Image Processor to improve focus speed and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance.
Red-eye Correction provides three options for removing red-eye from subjects in flash pictures. 1) Red-eye Correction during shooting actually identifies and corrects red-eye in human subjects as pictures are taken. 2) The PowerShot SD1200 IS Digital ELPH can be set to automatically detect and correct red-eye during image playback. 3) You can manually locate any red eyes in a scene during image playback on the LCD screen, and command the camera to remove them.
