Canon has launched another camera in its SX series called PowerShot SX 520 HS. The camera features a 42x optical zoom (24-1008mm) and 24mm wide-angle lens along with a 16 MP CMOS sensor combined with the Canon DIGIC 4+ Image processor. The PowerShot SX 520 HS is launched at a price of Rs 17,995 and is available on Amazon.in at a discounted price of Rs 16,990.

It offers 1080p Full HD video recording with a dedicated movie button and zoom while shooting. Other key features advanced zoom framing assist and high speed AF. Canon claims that the advanced zoom framing assist feature helps to track and maintain optimum clarity of the subject in focus within the frame and works in two ways – seek assist and auto zoom.

The Seek Assist function enable users to search for a subject when it goes out of frame by zooming out and reverting to the original zoom level upon locating the subject. The auto zoom function automatically adjusts the zoom level to maintain the same subject’s size and focus as it moves closer to or further from the camera.

The PowerShot SX520 HS is designed with an accessible mode dial similar to the ones on Canon’s EOS DSLR cameras. The PowerShot SX520 HS’s Creative Shot function comes with 46 different filters. When activated, the camera analyzes a scene and automatically selects the most suitable filters for the shot. With this function, five different looks will be generated in addition to the original shot. Users can choose their desired look for the shots from categories such as Retro, Monochrome, Special or Natural and the PowerShot SX520 HS will apply filters within that selected category.

The PowerShot SX520 HS is capable of recording videos in Full HD resolution with a frame rate of 30p.
