Putting together a video containing highlights from family vacations, important occasions and other special events is now easier than you might imagine. Using Movie Digest, you can have the camera automatically record a short video clip (up to approximately 4 seconds) every time you shoot a still image. The camera will then combine an entire day's worth of clips into a single video. No editing required – Movie Digest does all the work, so you can sit back and enjoy your video! Select PowerShot digital cameras can also capture video in 720p high definition.

Enjoy watching your HD videos and still images captured on your PowerShot camera, directly onto your HDTV by simply connecting with a Mini-HDMI Cable. The cable lets you experience HD footage with no analog degradation of image or audio in the signal, and displays up to 130 images at once. Select PowerShot models also support HDMI-CEC technology. You'll be able to control the playback of your images and videos on a CEC-enabled HDTV using the TV's remote control. (CEC - Consumer Electronic Control - is part of the HDMI specification, enabling components in a system to communicate with one another.)
