Capturing moments is important. But, it’s also not always easy. Being the family photographer often requires you to pause the moment, asking everybody to pose, making sure everyone is in the frame, and even if all that goes well the person behind the camera doesn’t get to be in the picture. Canon PowerShot PICK PTZ Camera changes all this and more. By ensuring that you record experiences as they happen organically, genuinely. No posing, no pausing—just candid memories that can last forever. PICK’s unique algorithm has been years in the making, with a dedicated app to get the image just right. It will automatically search for faces and smiles while adjusting the composition of the frame with its Pan, Tilt, Zoom (PTZ) mechanism. The camera captures and records moments while you’re enjoying them and you don’t have to do anything, no timers, no clicking, no posing—just living in the moment. Simple, portable design The PowerShot PICK can go anywhere, thanks to USB-C charging and built-in Wi-Fi, which links to your smart device. Want more control? Just ask - it's voice activated too. Just say, “Hello Pick, take a picture”, and it's done, hands free! Four voice commands cover useful functions like taking a video and finding other people to capture. Use it as a Wireless Webcam The PowerShot PICK also works great as a web cam, using the Wireless Webcam Utility for Mini PTZ Cam, bringing extra ease and usefulness. Only available for Windows 10 PCs. Smile Tracking and Automatic Filtering Using a unique algorithm that was developed over the years by Canon, the PowerShot PICK will automatically search for faces of people nearby once it is switched on, adjusting the composition of the shot and shoot based on facial information with its pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ) mechanism. The intelligent technology behind the PowerShot PICK means that it can automatically shoot various scenes where people are smiling, with a variation of compositions. Subsequently, recommended scenes will be filtered from the many images taken, making it even easier to select and decide which images you would like to keep and share, saving time and effort. Portable, Compact, and Lightweight Weighing only approximately 6 oz (including the microSD card) and measuring under 3.3” x 2.5” in size, the PowerShot PICK can be carried along for use almost anywhere. The PTZ mechanism has a pan direction of maximum approximately ±170 degrees, tilt direction of a maximum approximate of 110 degrees and is capable of up to a maximum of 12x zoom, through a combination of a 3x optical zoom and a 4x digital zoom. The PowerShot PICK also has a wide-angle coverage of 19mm (in 35mm format equivalent), allowing a large group of people to be included within the scene and it works well in small enclosed areas. This allows users to place the camera at an easy angle to allow continuous footage shooting without having to worry about adjusting the camera. Up to 5 hours of video recording through the camera's built-in battery allows the camera to be portable and can be used anywhere. Also, it can be charged via its USB-C port.
