DIGIC 4+ Processor
This 16.0 megapixel camera uses the upgraded DIGIC 4+ image processor which improves processing time by up to 60 percent when shooting at high ISO speeds, improves the Intelligent IS function, and speeds up the start-up and AF times.

Eco Mode
Eco mode (darkening of the LCD monitor when camera is not in use) has been improved by reducing the signal amount read from the image sensor by about one third of the usual amount, thereby reducing the power consumed by the camera engine.
