Moreover, iSAPS works with the DIGIC 4 Image Processor to enhance focus speed and precision, as well as whitebalance and exposure.

DIGIC 4 enables the i-Contrast (Intelligent Contrast Correction) mechanism, which controls the level of compensation in pixel units to lighten the dark areas while keeping the bright areas unchanged to ensure better images where the key subject is dark. Besides, the i-Contrast can be used during playback mode to regulate images that was captured without activating this setting.

There are three ways to correct the red-eye from subjects when the picture is taken with flash.. 1. Red-eye Correction during shooting identifies and fixes red-eye in human subject. 2. The camera can be set to detect and correct red-eye automatically during image playback. 3. The user can locate any red-eyes manually in a scene during picture playback on the LCD display and use certain settings to remove them.
