The Canon PowerShot PICK smart pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) active tracking camera uses AI to pick and take shots from anywhere you set it.
Canon's PowerShot PICK PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) camera is smart and easy to use. It's battery powered and lightweight, and it fits in your pocket. This unique camera uses a specially developed algorithm to automatically search for faces of people nearby.
You simply place the PICK facing the general area you want to shoot, and it takes shots — at your command, or when it recognizes certain people or actions you choose during setup.
When you set up the PICK using Canon's free Mini PTZ app (required), you can select options for its built-in AI, including shooting frequency, zoom range, and more. And since you don't need to hold or activate the camera, you — the photographer — are free to be in the shot more naturally than ever.
The PICK can automatically recognize up to 12 people you specify during setup. It can track action, like a kid bouncing across a hopscotch grid. It can even recognize when people smile, and more.
For more direct control, you can use the app to take shots manually. Or use your voice. Just say "Hello Pick," and give it simple voice commands — take a photo, record a video, change subjects, or stop capturing.
The Canon Mini PTZ app is required for the initial setup and to access certain features.
