Canon PowerShot PICK PTZ Camera (Black)

Capturing moments is important. But, it's also not always easy. Being the family photographer often requires you to pause the moment, ask everybody to pose, make sure everyone is in the frame, and even if all that goes well the person behind the camera doesn't get to be in the picture. Canon PICK changes all this and more. By ensuring that you record experiences as they happen organically, and genuinely. No posing, no pausing, just candid memories that can last forever.

PICK's unique algorithm has been years in the making, with a dedicated app to get the image just right. It will automatically search for faces and smiles while adjusting the composition of the frame with its Pan, Tilt, Zoom (PTZ) mechanism. The camera captures and records moments while you're enjoying them and you don't have to do anything, no timers, no clicking, no posing, just living in the moment.

Introducing your own personal photographer

When you want to capture life's precious moments, but also want to be in them, the PowerShot PICK is ideal - capturing natural expressions following the action and automatically framing people intelligently and creatively. Trust the PowerShot PICK to capture the people and moments in your life, automatically composing photos and video with its pan and tilt lens, while you carry on being in the moment.

Everyone in the shot - including you

Enjoy your time with your family and create a lot of images using the PowerShot PICK, all automatically, leaving you to enjoy the moment.

Simple, portable design

The PowerShot PICK can go anywhere, thanks to USB-C charging and built-in Wi-Fi, which links to your smart device. Want more control? Just ask - it's voice activated too. Just say, “Hello Pick, take a picture”, and it's done, hands free! Four voice commands* cover useful functions like taking a video and finding other people to capture.

* Voice activation not available in all languages. 4 voice commands are included with specific wording.

Smiles. Laughs. All your loved ones' expressions.

The best photos aren't always the posed smiles, although they're always popular. The PowerShot PICK captures a huge range of looks and precious reactions that you might not capture.

Use it as a Wireless Webcam

The PowerShot PICK also works great as a web cam, using the Wireless Webcam Utility for Mini PTZ Cam, bringing extra ease and usefulness.

*Only available for Windows 10 PCs

Smile Tracking and Automatic Filtering

Using a unique algorithm that was developed over the years by Canon, the PowerShot PICK will automatically search for faces of people nearby once it is switched on, adjusting the composition of the shot and shoot based on facial information with its pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ) mechanism.

The intelligent technology behind the PowerShot PICK means that it can automatically shoot various scenes where people are smiling, with a variation of compositions. Subsequently, recommended scenes will be filtered from the many images taken, making it even easier to select and decide which images you would like to keep and share, saving time and effort.

Portable, Compact, and Lightweight

Weighing only approximately 6 oz (including the microSD card) and measuring under 3.3” x 2.5” in size, the PowerShot PICK can be carried along for use almost anywhere. The PTZ mechanism has a pan direction of maximum approximately ±170 degrees, tilt direction of a maximum approximate of 110 degrees and is capable of up to a maximum of 12x zoom, through a combination of a 3x optical zoom and a 4x digital zoom.

The PowerShot PICK also has a wide-angle coverage of 19mm (in 35mm format equivalent), allowing a large group of people to be included within the scene and it works well in small enclosed areas. This allows users to place the camera at an easy angle to allow continuous footage shooting without having to worry about adjusting the camera. Up to 5 hours of video recording through the camera's built-in battery allows the camera to be portable and can be used anywhere. Also, it can be charged via its USB-C port.

Tracking and Image Stabilization (IS)

Using Canon's Nano USM technology, the PowerShot PICK is capable of silent and high-speed tracking, automatically tracking the subject so that the face stays within the angle of view even when the subject moves. The camera effectively suppresses blur by mechanically controlling the rotation angle of the lens barrel, ensuring the user will be able to get the clearest shots available without having to be physically present to ensure that the camera is focusing on the right targets, saving an incredible amount of time and providing tremendous efficiency when it comes to capturing your most memorable moments.

Remote Shooting & Playback

Manual capture of photos and videos is possible by using your connected smartphone or tablet as a remote to control the movement and angle of view of the PowerShot PICK.

Images shot by the PowerShot PICK can be previewed on the app, which will also highlight the best recommendation from the gallery. Save your favorite shots to your smart device, or generate a highlight video* within the app.

Canon PowerShot PICK PTZ Camera (Black) SKU: 4828C013

Rated 3 out of 5 by LatinSpring from It was perfect until it was not. I like the idea that a video cam can follow someone. Allowing the camera to save a facial feature is a great feature. The first time I used the camera, it was as advertised until I tried to playback the video. I see the file, I can play it, but no video .... only audio. I called user support, this is another story, and was able to speak to someone after numerous call and redirection. I ended up calling the main Canon office and have them transfer me to user support. This part was frustrating. When I finally connected to a person. I explained the situation. He tried to replicate the problem but his phone is Android. He said to give him time so he can consult with his colleagues. After a couple of weeks of no progress or solution, I called again and fortunately was able to communicate with the original support person I spoke with during my first call. He did follow up on what he said because, he too was stumped by the problem. In the end, Canon support found that the Tracking PTZ camera software was not compatible with the latest iphone IOS. I asked when this will be fixed and no date was provided. The work around was for me to save the file on my phone and then play the video back on my phone. You cannot use the Canon App to play and review the video.

Rated 5 out of 5 by speed21 from Great features [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this about 2 weeks ago and final got it installed. Very easy to install and set up.

Rated 4 out of 5 by HarryB from Neat camera [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The PowerShot camera is pretty good at taking selfies that don't look like selfies. It's a really cool concept. I just wish it had a little better camera. Good battery life, the USB-C charging port is awesome.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Exceptional features [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This camera is unique in that it has a PTZ mechanism that pans, tilts, and zooms to make sure it gets the perfect picture. It is portable, lightweight and compact so that it is easy to take with you wherever you go. It's my "goto" for family gatherings and parties. It has built in wifi that allows it to be connected to your phone if you wish. I would recommend this to everyone.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Msmite7 from Cool Technology [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The technology is a great idea, but there were a few issues with setup and use. Once i was finally able to get it setup with my phone, it worked ok but didn't always get the right target or direction. It is nice and small and easy to hide.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Samie from Very cool! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m still learning how to use all of the functions it has to offer but I think this is a cool little camera. It was easy to set up and connect to my phone but it sometimes disconnects, I think because of my internet. The app is great. It is easy to navigate and has the instructions to use the camera on it also. I like the voice command mode. It makes a cute whistle sound when it responds to you. I’m usually the one taking the pictures so it is nice to be in some of them for a change. I like that I can take candid pictures using the app on my phone.

Rated 3 out of 5 by aebn2001 from Would have like to love this! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would like to have loved this camera. The concept behind it is great but I personally think this thing still needs work. Let start with the PROs of this product. It super compacts and it take pictures and videos as it should. This camera has voice command feature where you can tell it to snap a picture or start video recording. It came with a 16GB micro-SD card and an Anker 20W power brick. 1st time connecting to the camera was simple but for any reason you get disconnected from the camera and it won’t reconnect back to your phone, Good Luck! That where all my troubles began. Resetting/reconnecting back to the camera was not intuitive. It was nowhere to be found in the included manual. The poster size manual had like 30 languages, but the part that was in English was of no use! It just points to the app. I indeed found the troubleshooting User guide within the camera app. In the User Guide, there were no page title “RESET” on the Table of Content. I found what I needed on the very LAST PAGE. It was titled “Connect with a different smartphone.” Multiple things must be done before you can reconnect (if for any reason it no longer connects to your phone). 1 – With you Bluetooth enable on your phone, go to the Bluetooth Setting page and Unpair the device from your phone. It will NOT establish a new paired connection if you phone saved it previously paired settings! 2 – In the camera app, go to the “Settings” tab (bottom right) and select “Reset communication settings”. 3 – Power down your camera. Now press and hold the Antenna button while the camera is OFF. While holding the Antenna button, press the power button to power the camera ON. Once the camera full boots and whistles at you, let go of the Antenna button. Now when you press the Antenna button, it will start blinking blue (once per second) to show that it ready to connect via Bluetooth. At this point, you can now re-pair your phone back to the camera. This was painstakingly difficult for me to figure out. What threw me off was it attempts to connect via Bluetooth then it then tries to connect via Wi-Fi. When I connect to the Camera Wi-Fi SSID per the camera app, it would then ask me for a password that I don’t know or have??? It was so confusing. I consider myself a tech savvy person, but if it was this difficult for me to get my phone reconnect to this camera. I promise you, others will to! This whole process was extremely frustrating! Once I got it reconnected, I can see the camera attempts to track it target, which was cool, but it loses it target quite easily. The camera does spin 360 but it does not go beyond the 360 limits. What I mean by that is, let say you place this camera on the center of the table. You then walk around the table and the camera attempts to follow you. If you walk full around and the camera reach it max 360 limit, it just stops. It does not keep spinning. It would have been nice if it did. The camera and video image are clear, but the room must be well lit, it not the images will start to look grainy. As for the battery, I think it lasted a bit over 2 hours before it died. I would recommend leaving it plug in while there a party going on. This will ensure the camera stays powered on and capture those special moments.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Papi Chulo 616 from I absolutely love this product! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this new product! This camera is not just your ordinary camera. This camera takes pictures while things are in motion. I love how crisp and clear the pictures come out. This camera also offers an app you can download on your mobile device.
