Print/Share Button

Razor sharp images that automatically display right side up - High-precision 9-point AiAF for sharp photos every time and Intelligent Orientation Sensor automatically rotates images for playback.
With its 9-point AiAF, the PowerShot SD20 Digital ELPH gives you super-accurate focus you can count on - even if your subject isn't at the center of the frame. Once you've shot your picture, the Intelligent Orientation Sensor automatically rotates images to their correct orientation during playback.
Silver Color - This high-luminance, high-density circular hairline design boldly dispels the traditionally chilly image of metal. Finished up with a silver touch radiating a graceful and delicate sparkle, even engendering the impression of soft, hushed breathing
