PowerShot SD870 IS Silver

Canon Technology Maximizes Quality

DIGIC III features Face Detection technology, giving you the best possible results in any shooting situation. Face Detection AF/AE sets the focus point and exposure for the faces of your subjects. Face Detection FE adjusts the flash to correctly illuminate your subject to provide the best balance between your subject and the overall scene, eliminating the common problems of over and underexposed faces.

With 17 Shooting Modes including 10 Special Scene Modes, you’re ready for whatever shot comes your way.
