This camera builds upon Canon’s “V” series of video-centric devices, offering features that are perfectly suited for vlogging, live streaming, and additional applications. Equipped with advanced technology aimed at improving image quality and performancesuch as a newly engineered 22.3MP 1.4″-type CMOS sensor and an integrated cooling fanthe V1 stands out as a top-tier choice for creators seeking an easy-to-use tool for capturing and producing videos and images.
Newly Developed 22.3MP 1.4″ CMOS Sensor
Canon has advanced the development of compact camera sensors with the introduction of the newly engineered 22.3MP 1.4″ CMOS sensor in the PowerShot V1. This sensor is roughly double the size of the 1″ sensors typically found in similar models, allowing the V1 to produce images with enhanced detail, superior dynamic range, and better performance in low-light conditions. Additionally, this sensor incorporates Dual Pixel CMOS II technology, which enables rapid and precise focus on various subjects and has been improved with pupil detection capabilities.
Versatile Ultra-Wide 16-50mm Power Zoom Lens
The PowerShot V1 features an ultra-wide-angle zoom lens, comparable to a 17-52mm lens for Full Frame cameras (16-50mm for still photography), with an aperture range of F2.8-11 at the wide-angle setting. This makes it particularly suitable for vlogging, eliminating the need for lens changes. Additionally, it includes a built-in 3-stop ND filter, perfect for bright outdoor lighting, ensuring you are prepared to shoot in any location.
Advanced UHD 4K Video Recording
Designed specifically for content creators, the PowerShot V1 offers exceptional 4K video recording capabilities at frame rates of up to 60p, providing a variety of format and frame rate options to accommodate diverse shooting scenarios. It supports full-width 4K video recording at rates of up to 30p. By utilizing oversampling from a 5.7K image area, the V1 produces sharper, cleaner, and more detailed 4K footage.
The camera features high-speed 4K recording at 60p with a 1.4x crop. It includes a Canon Log 3 profile for capturing high dynamic range content with 10-bit color depth. The Movie Digital IS works in tandem with the lens’s optical image stabilization system to ensure smoother video capture. Additionally, Subject Tracking Image Stabilization enhances stabilization based on the subject’s position within the frame.
A built-in cooling fan enables extended recording sessions without interruption, even at 4K 60p. The device is equipped with a three-microphone array and comes with a windscreen, while mic and headphone jacks are provided for effective audio recording and monitoring.
Shooting Modes
This camera was designed with video capture in mind, featuring several distinctive attributes that enhance your creative projects. To begin with, it offers a close-up movie mode ideal for showcasing small objects, which the dual pixel AF II will focus on. Additionally, it includes Movie IS to minimize camera shake for clearer videos, as well as a Smooth Skin Movie option. Users can also select from standard settings such as full-auto, full manual operation, and Shutter- or Aperture-priority exposure. Furthermore, you have the capability to register up to three custom shooting modes (C1, C2, C3) for both video and still photography. Notably, the V1 introduces a first for PowerShot cameras: a switch that allows you to toggle between video and still shooting, granting access to all shooting modes available on the mode dial.
