Get more detail in your photos
A 16 megapixel CMOS sensor driven by a DIGIC 4+ processor with iSAPS technology gives you consistently excellent performance, for images full of colour and richness – they're even suitable for making poster-sized prints.
The PowerShot SX530 offers an impressive 50x optical zoom that allows you to take detailed long-range shots such as landscapes, or intimate-feeling group shots.
Intelligent optical image stabilisation counteracts camera shake so fewer of your shots will be affected. It automatically adapts to shooting conditions so that your photos and videos are sharper and more detailed – even if you're shooting at full zoom or handheld in dim light.
Precise shooting
Keeping track of distant subjects at high zoom is simple with the Canon PowerShot SX530 HS – activate Zoom Framing Assist at the touch of a button, which rapidly zooms the camera out of a scene to help you check where your subject has moved to. As soon as you release the button, you'll zoom straight back to where you were.
Auto mode has been improved to automatically zoom out when a subject goes out of the frame, helping you maintain them at a preset size. Canon's HS System maintains clearer shots, even in low light – this preserves the true atmosphere of each moment so that you don't always have to use a tripod or flash.
Stunning images with ease
The Canon PowerShot SX530 HS is able to shoot 1920 x 1080p Full HD videos at 30 fps complete with stereo sound, so you can record memories in full at the touch of a button.
Smart Auto mode selects the ideal camera settings for photo and video modes for best results, while Hybrid Auto creates a nifty HD (720p) movie summary of everything you've shot during the day.
Stable, creative and comfortable
An Intelligent Image Stabiliser lets you shoot on the move while still achieving superbly sharp results. Capture every precious moment and awesome fast action scenes with the camera's highly responsive High-Speed Burst feature.
There are loads of creative effects on board for you to wow friends and family. Using Full Manual mode to develop your photographic skills and get to understand how light affects your images. Creative Shot cleverly captures five extra images of the original subject complete with different artistic effects.
The camera's ergonomic grip has been made for improved comfort and steadier shots even at full zoom and those long sessions.
WiFi lets you connect and share
Thanks to inbuilt WiFi, the Canon PowerShot SX530 HS lets you upload photos and videos direct to social networks – or you can use the on-board NFC to transfer files to your smartphone or tablet.
There's a dedicated smart device app that allows remote control of your camera from a phone, while Image Sync allows for convenient backup to various devices. Combine the camera with a Canon Connect Station (sold separately) for easy sharing on HD TVs, media sites and online albums such as irista.
