Genuine Canon Lens With 4x Wide-Angle Optical Zoom / 4x Digital Zoom / 16x Combined Zoom

The PowerShot A2200 digital camera is equipped with a 4x 28-112mm (35mm format equivalent) optical zoom lens with Canon optics for sharp images. With its 14 megapixel CCD and 4x optical zoom lens, you can capture intricate details. The optical zoom combines with a 4x digital zoom for a total of 16x zoom power. The 4x wide-angle optical zoom is ideally suitable for a wide range of photographic applications from landscapes and snapshots to portraits and macro at a working distance as close as just over an inch from the subject.

Canon's heritage as an imaging company dates back over 70 years to the company's founding in 1934. Since then, Canon has worked hard to perfect the process of creating extremely high-quality optics for its line of imaging products and is now the world's largest manufacturer of cameras and lenses. Canon is a global leader in optical design, with many advanced and original technologies that allow Canon users to achieve the sharpest images possible.

Discreet Mode

How many times have you found yourself in a situation where you wanted to take a picture, but were reluctant (or simply not allowed) to disrupt the setting with noise or flash? Discreet Mode is a new Scene Mode that disables the sound, flash and AF beam so user can still capture images in quiet areas.

Smart AUTO

Simply point and shoot and Smart AUTO makes your ordinary picture exceptional. The system detects and analyzes faces, brightness, colors, distance and movement, then compensates and enhances to make every image the best it can be by selecting an appropriate setting for the scene. Smart AUTO selects the proper settings for the camera based on 32 predefined shooting situations. The system detects the shooting situation and shows you the result on screen.

Large, Clear 2.7-inch LCD Monitor

The A2200 camera features a large 2.7-inch, 230,000-pixel LCD screen that gives you the big picture, whether you're shooting, reviewing or showing off your images. Clear and bright, it also features Night Display for easy viewing in low light.

Advanced Face Detection AF/AE/FE/WB Technology

Your most cherished image often feature faces, and Canon's advanced Face Detection Technology gives every face its best chance to shine. With Canon's Advanced Face Detection AF/AE/FE/WB function, the A2200 can detect, lock on, and track up to 35 human faces in a scene. It can even detect profiles. The face detection algorithm automatically prioritizes and selects faces (based on Canon's Intelligent Scene Analysis/iSAPS technology). It will then optimize the focus, exposure, white balance and flash to help ensure the best possible results for even easier picture taking moments. The result is flattering portraits and group shots where all of the subjects are in clearer focus and accurately exposed.

ISO 1600 Sensitivity

Canon's advanced DIGIC Image Processor enables a range of ISO equivalent settings from 80 to 1600, achieving excellent image quality under darker conditions without a flash. With camera shake greatly reduced, you can shoot high quality images in many more situations. With Canon's latest Motion Detection Technology, it's even more advanced -- it also factors in camera or subjectmovement when setting ISO automatically. ISO can be expanded to 6400 when you select Low Light Special Scene mode.

Low Light Mode

With an ISO of 400 to 6400, the Low Light mode takes the Canon PowerShot A2200 into the shadows. Now even scenes notorious for having insufficient light, such as those lit by candles, fire, or street lamp, come through in fantastic color and clarity, with less noise. You can keep the feel of the scene intact without adding additional light, so the result will be scenes with the visual accuracy, depth and clarity you expect from a Canon camera.

DIGIC 4 Image Processor

Developed to speed up all operations between shooting and recording images, the DIGIC 4 Image Processor ensures that the PowerShot ELPH 100 HS operates as quickly and intuitively as possible. Thanks to the DIGIC 4 Image Processor, the implementation of new technologies like Face Detection Self-Timer and Intelligent Contrast Correction do not slow down the camera's performance, or drain excessive battery power, ensuring that no matter the shot, you're always ready to go.

DIGIC 4 is Canon's most advanced image processor ever, and builds on the superb performance of its DIGIC II and DIGIC III predecessors. As the "nerve center" of the camera, DIGIC 4 brings excellence to many areas. Images have brilliant color and smoother gradations, and performance is fast and responsive. DIGIC 4 also empowers some of Canon's newest and most advanced features including Face Detection, Face Detection Self-Timer and high ISO for images in low light with improved noise reduction. DIGIC 4 not only allows higher ISO settings for beautiful images in low light or fast action shots, but also reduces the resulting 'noise' to keep image quality at its best.

11 Special Scene Modes

The Canon PowerShot A2200 gives you Special Scene modes that allow users to achieve optimum results in popular picture-taking situations including:

1. Portrait - The camera sets a large aperture, focuses the subject and artistically blurs the background to make your subject "pop".
2. Landscape - The camera uses smaller apertures when possible for increased depth-of-field on sweeping vistas.
3. Kids & Pets - Shoot moving subjects without losing your chance to get those unforgettable moments.
4. Blur Reduction - Boosts sensitivity to enable faster shutter speeds, reducing the effects of camera shake and subject movement.

6 Creative Filter Modes

The Creative Filters mode dial setting provides easy access to special filter effect and scene modes. The Canon PowerShot A2200 offers creative effects (Miniature Effect, Fisheye Effect) similar to those found in professional lenses.

1. Fisheye Effect - Uses barrel distortion to warp the image around the center, giving a distinctive curvature effect to the photo. The curvilinear images produced by Fisheye Effect can suggest the curve of the Earth, the inside of a dome, or the image you see through the peephole of a door.
2. Miniature Effect - (also available for videos) Creates an illusion where very large objects appear in miniature proportions. Turn soaring cityscapes into a scene in seemingly dollhouse-like proportions.
3. Toy Camera Effect - Simulates photos taken with "toy" or pinhole cameras, darkening the image at the edges to create a vignette effect.
4. Monochrome - Choose from three single-tone effects: Black-and-White, Sepia, or Blue
5. Super Vivid - Intensifies existing hues, saturating the scene with bright colors.
6. Poster Effect - Combines several similar shades into one color, turning subtle gradations into eye-catching, scene-popping contrasts.

Canon iSAPS Technology

Over the past 68 years, Canon has accumulated a vast amount of photographic data and know-how and used it to create some of the most innovative camera products in the marketplace. Now, using that same data and know-how, Canon has developed an exclusive technology called iSAPS (Intelligent Scene Analysis based on Photographic Space) that can predict certain camera settings such as focusing distance, exposure and optimum white balance based on zoom focal length, overall light level and tonal distribution data. Canon refers to this collective data as "Photographic Space." By incorporating iSAPS technology into its PowerShot line, the cameras can analyze a scene just before the image is made and in doing so, increase the speed and precision of the camera's autofocus, auto exposure and auto white balance.

SDHC / SDXC / SD Memory Card, MultiMediaCard, MMC Plus Card, HC MMC Plus Card Compatibility

The PowerShot A2200 is compatible with the newest SDXC memory cards. This next-generation storage features massively increased capacity (up to 2 terabytes) and notably faster operation.

Easy Mode For Shooting and Easy Playback Mode

When you're taking pictures, the only thing you want to think about is your subject. That's why the PowerShot A2200 is equipped with Canon's Easy Mode that works in the background to handle all the technical details for you. Now you can relax and concentrate on choosing just the right angle, capturing the perfect expression, framing your shot perfectly. To make showing off your images just as carefree, the A2200 features the Easy Playback mode that makes viewing single images and slideshows on the camera effortless -- even if you're new to digital photography.

Intelligent Contrast Correction

DIGIC III also makes possible the i-Contrast (Intelligent Contrast Correction) system, which controls the compensation level in pixel units to brighten dark areas while leaving bright areas unchanged for better images where the main subject is dark, and more natural transition.

9-Point AiAF Autofocus System and Single-Point AF

The PowerShot A2200's fast and responsive intelligent AiAF system reads information from 9 separate points. This makes it possible to frame shots without being constrained by the subject's position. You may also select the standard single center point AF setting to accurately pull the shot into focus. The autofocus system utilizes an AF-assist beam, which can be turned on and off in the menu settings.

Direct Printing

You've taken the picture, reviewed it, like it and can not wait to print it out. What next? Direct Printing significantly expands the appeal of the PowerShot A2200 digital camera by making it simple, quick and convenient to produce high-quality photos without the need for a personal computer. Simply connect the A2200 directly to a Canon Compact or Canon Direct Photo Printer, as well as PictBridge compatible printer. Beyond its Direct Print capability with Canon's Compact Photo Printers and acclaimed Canon Direct Photo Printers, the camera is also PictBridge compatible, an industry standard that offers the flexibility of direct printing to other brands of PictBridge compatible printers.

The PowerShot A2200 digital camera supports Exif Print, a worldwide standard that transfers important camera settings and data from the camera to the printer ensuring the photos you print will look true to life. Moreover, DPOF 1.1 (Digital Print Order Format) lets users specify the images to be printed or execute batch printing of selected images.

Noise Reduction

Experienced photographers know that high ISO speeds can coincide with increased levels of noise: aberrant or stray signals that degrade image quality. With Canon's exclusive DIGIC 4 Image Processor, there is no need for compromise. DIGIC III offers a major boost in noise reduction signal processing to compensate for the higher ISO settings it enables.

Safety Zoom

Set a minimum acceptable megapixel count for images taken when using the digital zoom, and Safety Zoom will let you make optimal use of the digital zoom range. The zoom pauses at the end of your preset safety range, rather than at the end of the optical zoom range.

Built-in Flash

The PowerShot A2200 digital camera has a built-in flash with automatic red-eye reduction setting and a maximum range of about 10 feet.

White Balance Control

Different light sources have different temperatures that can dramatically affect the quality of pictures. So the camera is equipped with selectable high-precision White Balance Settings to handle a full range of shooting conditions. There are 5 presets: Daylight, Cloudy, Tungsten, Fluorescent and Fluorescent H. Plus there's also Custom and Auto settings.

Selectable Light Metering

The PowerShot A2200 provides a range of Canon's highly advanced exposure features that offer greater control and greater convenience. Selectable Light Metering offers three settings. In the Evaluative setting, the camera reads multiple points across the frame for optimal overall exposure. The Spot Metering setting concentrates on a single area in the center of the image for greater precision in high contrast situations. Centerweighted Averaging Metering, with emphasis on the center of the viewfinder, averages metering out over the entire picture area.
