The
newly developed image processor, DIGIC, improves the signal processing
algorithm, resulting in improved picture quality, more accurate autofocus
and faster image processing speed. |

Our
digital imaging processor does a lot more than signal processing (developing
the image). Canon’s original digital-camera-exclusive processor
packs almost every function needed in a digital camera into one chip:
JPEG compression/ expansion; memory-card control; LCD/Video control/processing;
imaging control (control of CCD periphery); AE, AF, AWB control and
more.

Canon
developed a super-fast architecture especially for digital cameras with
its digital imaging processor. The features found on all Canon digital
cameras — high image quality, low power consumption, and large-capacity
buffering — stem from this speed. |
||
DIGIC
adds several newly developed algorithms to our previous digital imaging
processors. Canon’s digital imaging processor can operate at extremely
high speeds; complex algorithms for improving image quality can be executed
effortlessly. The processor easily executes numerous operations for algorithms that require an enormous number of calculations even for the slightest gain in image quality. And it does this without any compromise. |
