The Canon camera features Auto focus that has a range of 20 cm onwards (Wide) and 85 cm to infinity (Tele). The PowerShot digital device has a shutter speed range of 60 - 1/4000 sec, which lets you control the speed of the shutter, and hence the sharpness of every image.

The Smile Timer function can take an image automatically when it identifies a smiling face in the frame. With the Wink self-timer, the camera will take a picture a few seconds after it identifies a winking subject, letting you trigger shutter release whichever way you want.
The camera also functions on the traditional self-timer, which lets you delay shutter release by 2 or 10 seconds so you can join your subjects in a picture. With the Continuous Shooting mode, you can take pictures at 1.9 shots per second in P mode and 4.5 shots per second in High-speed Burst HQ mode to record every instance in amazing photographs. Let the Canon PowerShot G1 X complement your photography and take it to newer levels of excellence.
