Canon U.S.A. handsfree PowerShot PICK Active Tracking PTZ Camera
Canon U.S.A., Inc. released the PowerShot PICK Active Tracking PTZ Camera, a portable camera offering a “hands-free solution” for capturing candid photos and videos automatically.
The PowerShot PICK uses face-detecting and tracking technology to ensure smiles and more can be detected, when set up through the corresponding app, and the PowerShot PICK will automatically move its camera to capture all.
Previously, the product saw great success with a leading crowdfunding platform in Japan, the company said. Due to that success, Canon collaborated with Indiegogo, a similar platform in the United States, which now leads to the official introduction of the PowerShot PICK in the United States.
The PowerShot PICK offers a wide range of features, including:
- Approximately 340 degrees of Pan movement and Tilt capabilities between -20 to 90 degrees
- 3x optical zoom and 4x digital zoom
- 19-57mm focal length (35mm equivalent) and automatic image stabilization
- Active Tracking with Auto Capture
- Battery Powered
- Select Voice Commands
- 11.7MB photos and Full-HD 1080 60p video with movie rates of 59.94, 29.97, and 23.98 frames per second (FPS)
The PowerShot PICK requires the MiniPTZ mobile app for compatible iOS, iPadOS, and Android devices. The app includes capabilities like configuration settings, manual remote control of the camera, automatically generated highlight videos (iOS only), and the ability to browse through and select favorite moments for download.
The PowerShot PICK will be available for an estimated retail price of $499.992. Shipping is currently scheduled to begin late summer 2022.
