Product Information

The Canon PowerShot A630 Digital Camera provides an incredible 8.0 megapixel resolution, and is packed with a full range of high-performance features usually found only on more expensive cameras. The result is an affordable camera that produces truly superior image quality. The 4x optical zoom lens brings the world up close, and you'll see it all clearly on the big, bright 2.5-inch Vari-Angle LCD monitor. Furthermore, the camera has 21 pre-programed shooting modes to make photography easy, fun and creative, and there are also some great functions like expanded ISO settings that let you shoot in low light without blur.

Features

• 8.0 Megapixel Resolution

With 8.0 megapixel resolution, the PowerShot A630 provides images with a stunning level of detail, and when you want to crop in close and enlarge, you'll do it freely, knowing that the resolution level can support it.

• Powerful Canon 4x Optical Zoom

Get the shot you want with a powerful 4x optical zoom and genuine Canon optics. Not only does the zoom get you up close quickly, but Canon optical technology ensures that your shots are bright, clear, and alive with true, vivid color.

• Large 2.5 inch Vari-Angle LCD monitor

The camera's 2.5 inch vari-angle LCD monitor lets you swivel the LCD monitor 180° to the front of the camera and display either a mirror image or a non-reversed image so you can shoot from just about any position. This high-resolution screen offers a crisp, clear picture and wider viewing angle to make shooting, playback and using the camera's menu functions especially convenient. Clear and bright, it also features Night Display for easy viewing in low light.

• 21 Shooting Modes

With 21 shooting modes, you're ready for whatever shot comes your way. For example, 10 Special Scene modes make many challenging shots like snow, beach and fireworks easy, and even include Color Accent and Color Swap to let you customize and play with color.

• 9-point AiAF, and High ISO to Reduce Image Blur and Expand Low-light Shooting Capability

The 9-point AiAF lets you place your subject almost anywhere in the frame and achieve razor-sharp focus. The PowerShot A630 also features ISO 800 and High ISO Auto settings that reduce the effects of camera shake and sharpen subjects in low-light situations with high shutter speeds, giving you greater flexibility for shooting.

• DIGIC II Image Processor with iSAPS Technology

Canon's DIGIC II Image Processor is designed to improve processing speed and image quality, so DIGIC II provides markedly faster startup, autofocus and playback, plus it assures that every image is more colorfully vibrant. iSAPS Technology is an entirely original scene-recognition technology developed for digital cameras by Canon. Using an internal database of thousands of different photos, iSAPS works with the fast DIGIC II Image Processor to improve focus speed and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance.

• VGA Movie Recording with Sound

With a highly flexible movie mode, you can create the movie that's perfect for any application. Select from VGA (640 x 480 pixels) and QVGA (320 x 240 pixels), with frame rates of 30 fps and 15 fps for recording up to 1 hour or 1GB. Plus the Compact Movie Mode records QQVGA (160 x 120 pixels) at 15 fps for up to 3 minutes - ideal for web video.

• Shoot and View Widescreen Images

The PowerShot A630 includes a 16:9 widescreen resolution option, producing images that are perfect for your widescreen TV or computer monitor.

• Convenient AA-size Batteries

AA-size batteries can be purchased at any store so you don't need to worry about running out of batteries or recharging batteries - simply get new ones locally.

• Fast USB 2.0 Interface

The PowerShot A630 also supports the USB 2.0 Hi-Speed standard, so you'll enjoy the fastest possible data transfer speeds when using a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed compatible computer.

• Easy, Flexible Direct Printing Options

The A630's Print/Share button makes direct printing easier than ever. Simply connect the camera to a Canon Direct Photo Printer or PictBridge supported printer, press the Print/Share button and print. The Direct Print feature allows for image preview and editing (including cropping) on the camera when connected to a compatible printer. Also use the Print/Share button to transfer images directly to a computer (Windows).
