Auto Focus Properties | |
The PowerShot G16’s auto focus processor uses 9 AF points (or sensors). A basic rule of thumb says that the more AF points you have, the better. More AF points mean a better chance to have a point at the location of interest in a scene, a big plus in challenging situations (e.g. with low contrast subjects). Manual focus is also possible with the Canon, a plus in tricky situations or for some creative freedom. |
