How it works
Canon’s Face‑Wise Fun
These days, almost any camera can spot a face, but Canon’s latest gadget takes it a step further. Plug it in, hit “PICK,” and let the magic happen.
What the Gimmick is
- Automatic People‑Tracking: The camera scans the room and tags anyone it spots.
- Easy Naming: Pair it with the smartphone app, give those tags a name, and decide who gets the spotlight.
- Smart Shooting: Once the people are set, the camera can auto‑snap or record them—just like a photography-bound BFF.
Customization Options
- Search Radius: Tell the camera how far it should look for faces.
- Zoom Preferences: Decide if you want a close‑up or a wide‑angle shot.
- Photo vs. Video Flex: Choose whether to capture still photos, Full HD videos, or both.
- Priority Settings: Balance between “shoot often” or “shoot when something big happens.”
With all those features, Canon’s camera feels like it’s got a personal assistant on board, ready to turn every moment into a perfect capture—no manual setting needed.
Meet the Tiny Dynamic PTZ Camera
Picture this: a camera that silently glides, zooms, and pans like a superhero performing in a silent movie. That’s the magic of the Pan‑Tilt‑Zoom (PTZ) system powered by Canon’s Nano Ultra Sonic Motor (USM)—the same tech that keeps DSLR lenses whisper‑quiet.
Why Silent is Key to Capturing Smiles
- Stealth mode: The motors run so quiet that you’ll forget the camera exists until a face is caught in frame.
- Speedy chase: They’re fast enough to keep up with a moving person; think of it as a chase scene that never glitches.
Wider Than Your Wildest Imagination
The PTZ can pan 340° around and tilt 110° up or down, giving you a panoramic view that feels like a giant VR headset. Pair that with the 19 mm (35 mm film equivalent) wide‑angle lens and a 12× hybrid zoom (3× optical, 4× digital). One static spot, tons of action.
AI That Feels Like Your Friend
- Face‑Finder: Automatically spots smiling people and captures them from angles that would make a model blush.
- Storyteller in the Making: Lets photographers and videographers craft behind‑the‑scenes stories without pulling a muscle.
Storage That Keeps Pace with Your Creativity
Forget fiddling with tiny flashcards. The camera accepts SDXC cards that support UHS‑1, so you can shoot without worrying about running out of space.
It’s Small, It’s Light, It’s Everywhere
- Dimensions: 9 cm × 6 cm — a snack‑size device.
- Weight: 170 g — more like a pocket‑knife than a heavy camera.
- Versatile mounting: Think bike, think balcony, think a table—just mount and roll.
Battery Life That Lasts Your Longest Shoot
Up to 5 hours of video recording. Recharges via USB‑C—a good match for swapping out batteries in a pinch.
So whether you’re chasing a fleeting grin or drafting cinematic BTS footage, this PTZ marvel packs the power of a studio in just a few grams. Ready to light up the scene?
Software
Meet the PICK—Your Camera’s New Best Friend
Let’s face it: taking photos can be a real chore. That’s why the PICK software is a game‑changer. It comes packed with nifty extras that turn a camera into a super‑user‑friendly gadget.
What the PICK Does for You
- Scene Suggestions: No more scrolling through endless images. The app tells you which shots are worth keeping, saving you time and brainpower.
- iOS Highlights: On Apple devices, the PICK can even stitch together quick highlight reels—just let it do the magic.
- Voice Control (Four Modes):
- Snap a still photo with a simple “shot!”
- Change subjects—whisper “switch” and watch the camera roll.
- Start or stop video recording by saying “record” or “stop.”
- Toggle the automatic shooting mode with a spoken command—no remote needed.
Turn the PICK into a Webcam
Need a webcam? The PICK can do that, too. Just grab the Wireless Webcam Utility for Mini PTZ Cam (PC only) and you’ve got Wi‑Fi calling ready. It’s perfect for livestreams, video calls, or just a robot‑eye view of your living room.
You can also move files from the camera straight to your computer with the same tool—handy for quick edits or back‑ups. And if you’re into camera tracking, the software lets you tweak those settings with ease.
Word of Caution
All in all, the PICK makes shooting a breeze. But be careful: Rolling out the secret of your ultra‑powerful gear to friends and relatives might get you in trouble. Better keep the camera’s headstrong features under wraps—unless you’re ready to jolly good heckle.
Enjoy your new command‑centered photography experience, and remember: the future is just a voice away!
