The Leading Edge of Design and Technology
Beautifully and Astonishingly Thin
At a slim 0.86 inches, the Power ELPH 510 HS is the world’s
thinnest camera with a 28mm Wide-Angle lens, 12x Optical Zoom,
and Optical Image Stabilizer.* Its stylish form is enhanced by
its lustrous finish, which gives you a choice of three refined
colors: Red, Black and Silver. But real beauty goes beyond skin
deep with the Power ELPH 510 HS. Amazingly, Canon did not
sacrifice performance for style.

12x Optical Zoom with 28mm Wide-Angle Lens
The Power ELPH 510 HS features a powerful Genuine Canon 12x
Zoom Lens that delivers outstanding optical performance and
versatility. Fitting such a high-performance lens with such wide
zoom range into a camera so thin would normally be considered an
impossible feat. Canon’s expert optical engineering met the
challenge by developing a light-folding retractable-prism lens
barrel, which achieves outstanding compactness with high zoom
power and superb performance. The zoom starts at 28mm wide-angle
and extends to 336mm telephoto (35mm equivalent), covering an
exceptionally wide range. The telephoto reach gives you the
freedom to capture subjects from a considerable distance, while
the 28mm wide-angle makes it easy to shoot sweeping landscapes,
large groups of people and tall buildings.
Optical Image Stabilizer
Handheld shooting can often lead to camera shake, making photos
and videos blurry. Canon’s Optical Image Stabilizer is a
sophisticated system that uses lens-shift technology to correct
for unwanted camera movement. It makes handheld photography more
practical, providing excellent image quality in many difficult
shooting situations: outdoors at dusk, inside without a flash,
and even at the telephoto end of the zoom range without a tripod.
For photos, it enables shooting at slower shutter speeds,
accommodating more low-light shooting situations than ever before
without having to boost ISO sensitivity. With camera shake and
vibration reduced, you get a sharper, steadier image. And because
it is an optical system, there is none of the image degradation
typical with electronic image stabilizers.
Experience the Power
Canon HS SYSTEM
The Canon HS SYSTEM lets you take bright, clear photos in an
even wider range of shooting situations. Beautiful low-light
s are possible with minimal noise and maximum detail in
highlight and shadow areas. The system is the result of two
technologies brought together in Power cameras: a
high-sensitivity imaging sensor, which is able to capture more
light; and the DIGIC Image Processor, which actively reduces
noise with high-speed image processing. The 12.1 Megapixel CMOS
sensor in the Power ELPH 510 HS incorporates advanced light
reception technology that enhances sensitivity. The DIGIC 4 Image
Processor provides a major boost in noise reduction, expanding
the usable ISO range to an amazing high of 3200. The Canon HS
SYSTEM takes the frustration out of low-light shooting,
delivering clear, blur-free images.
Canon DIGIC 4 Image Processor
Canon DIGIC Image Processors have set the standard for
functionality and performance since their groundbreaking
introduction in 1999. With each successive generation, DIGIC
processors have brought elevated performance and powerful new
features to Power digital cameras. The DIGIC 4 processor has
ushered in a new level of picture quality and accelerated
processing, making possible features such as high-speed
continuous shooting, Full HD video and Face Detection Self-timer.
New, more powerful noise reduction algorithms also provide
improved low-light capture.
Memorable Moments in Spectacular Full HD
Canon Full HD Video Advantage
In addition to the Canon HS SYSTEM, the combination of the
advanced CMOS sensor and DIGIC 4 Image Processor in the Power
ELPH 510 HS makes it possible to shoot crisp, clear high
definition video. Imagine the fun and excitement of being able to
shoot spectacular 1080p Full HD video with stereo sound that you
can later watch on your HDTV or download to your computer to
share with family and friends. In addition to being able to shoot
Full HD 1080p video at 24* frames per second, the Power ELPH
510 HS can also shoot 720p HD video at 30** frames per second.
*Actual frame rate is 23.976 fps.
** Actual frame rate is 29.97 fps.
HDTV playback via HDMI output and CEC
It’s easy to enjoy and share the videos you shoot with the
Power ELPH 510 HS. Simply connect its HDMI terminal to your
HDTV using an HDMI cable. And because the Power ELPH 510 HS
supports HDMI-CEC technology, you’ll be able to control the
playback of your images and videos on any CEC-enabled HDTV using
the TV’s remote control. (CEC – Consumer Electronic Control – is
part of the HDMI specification, enabling components in a system
to communicate with one another.)
iFrame
With the Power ELPH 510 HS, you can also shoot video in the
Apple iFrame format, which is a computer-friendly standard that
speeds up importing and editing of videos. It keeps file sizes
small, making it more convenient to upload or e-mail high-quality
videos. The iFrame format enjoys native support in compatible Mac
and Windows video applications, making it unnecessary to perform
time-consuming and often quality-degrading conversions.
Get the You Want with Just a Touch
PureColor LCD System
The Power ELPH 510 HS digital camera’s large and bright
3.2-inch PureColor LCD wide screen makes it easy to view and
frame your s in high resolution (461,000 dots). PureColor
technology delivers excellent contrast with rich, true-to-life
color. Moreover, you can view the LCD screen over a surprisingly
wide angle – above, below or to either side – without color
shifts and with minimal reflections. A scratch-proof hard coating
and a dust-repellent fluorine coating ensure a durable screen
that dependably displays clear, vibrant images. The wide aspect
ratio (16:9) provides ample room for information icons and touch
buttons, preventing them from getting in the way of the image,
and you can enjoy a brilliant full-screen image when shooting or
playing back your Full HD videos.
Touch Panel LCD with Touch Shutter
The Power ELPH 510 HS features touch panel technology that
makes using the camera more intuitive and fun. Simply touch the
screen to choose and track an AF point, change camera settings,
record and play videos and much, much more! It also has an
innovative Touch Shutter function that allows you to release the
shutter right from the screen. Just touch the desired subject
with your finger. An AF box will appear and track the subject as
it moves. Then just lift your finger to release the shutter. It’s
that simple.
A Power that Keeps Up with the Action
High-Speed Burst Mode
Capture amazing action s like the pros with the Power
ELPH 510 HS camera. Using High-Speed Burst mode,* you can shoot
at exceptionally high speeds – 7.8 frames per second. It’s a
great feature for those who enjoy taking pictures at sporting
events. High-Speed Burst is also an excellent way to make sure
you capture that perfect instant in time when shooting any moving
subject.
*Image resolution is 1984 x 1488 pixels when shooting in
High-Speed Burst mode.
Super Slow Motion
The Super Slow Motion Movie mode* on the Power ELPH 510 HS
gives you a fun and useful option when shooting videos. It

A Steady Image Is a Beautiful Image
Intelligent IS
The latest advance in Canon Optical Image Stabilization
technology, Intelligent IS analyzes camera movement and applies
the best shake correction method for the shooting situation. For
stills, the system automatically selects among Normal, Panning,
Macro (Hybrid) and Tripod IS modes. When shooting video, the
system automatically selects among Dynamic, Powered, Macro and
Tripod IS modes. With Intelligent IS, you can concentrate on
image capture, letting the camera make the most effective IS
settings to assure the steadiest possible image.
Normal
Corrects for a wide range of camera movement when shooting
stills. Panning
Panning motion is detected so that IS does not interfere with
desired camera movement. Hybrid
Corrects for shift-type camera shake, which typically occurs in
macro (close-up) shooting. Dynamic
Effective for video shooting at wide-angle focal lengths,
eliminating the unwanted shaking that typically occurs while
walking. Powered
Compensates for hand movement when shooting video at the
telephoto end of the zoom range, where camera shake is magnified.
Tripod
When tripod use is detected, the Image Stabilizer is stopped
because it is not needed.
A Smarter Camera Means Better Photos and Videos
