All data is based on Canon standard testing methods (according to CIPA Standards) except where indicated.Subject to change without notice[1] Depending on the image size selected.[2] Not all functions of the flash are supported.[3] Under conditions where the flash does not fire.[4] Depending on memory card speed / capacity / compression setting.[6] Some settings limit availability.[7] The following Speed Class memory cards are required for maximum record time: (HD) 1280 x 720 Speed Class 4 or above. (Full HD) 1920 x 1080 Speed Class 6 or above. (iFrame) 1280 x 720 Speed Class 6 or above.[11] Wi-Fi use may be restricted in certain countries or regions. Wi-Fi support varies by device and region. For more information visit www.canon-europe.com/wirelesscompacts[12] Sustained continuous shooting function requires compatible SDHC/SDXC UHS Speed Class 1 memory card, total number of frames captured varies depending on shooting subject.[13] Values at maximum optical focal length. Cameras whose focal length exceeds 350 mm (35 mm equivalent) are measured at 350 mm.[14] Image processing may cause a decrease in the number of pixels.
