Features
Specifications

The surprising PowerShot A610 offers many features you'd expect to find only on higher end models. For example, there's a 5.0 Megapixel CCD that lets you print large, richly detailed prints. Just as importantly, this camera is equipped with a complete range of advanced functions that make shooting relaxed and simple - whether you're a novice or a pro.

• 5.0 Megapixel Resolution with 4x Optical Zoom: Within its sleek body, the PowerShot A610 has all the top-quality Canon features that make your pictures really stand out. There's the 5.0 Megapixel CCD that reveals even tiny details in crisp, clear color - both on your screen and in your prints, and even tight close-ups are super easy thanks to the longer, retractable 4x Optical Zoom lens.

• 2" Vari-Angle LCD Screen and Optical Viewfinder: The PowerShot A610 has a big 2.0 inch LCD screen with an astonishing 115,000 pixels of resolution. So whether you're setting up your shot or playing it back, everything is bright and clear. The vari-angle design lets you swivel the LCD screen 180 degrees 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.

• Capture the Moment with a Steady Grip and Special Scene Modes: The PowerShot A610's cleanly integrated grip gives you a comfortable, steady hold. Additionally, you can count on exact focus no matter where your subject is in the frame. Plus, you've also got 20 Shooting Modes, including 8 Special Scene Modes, that give you breathtaking, exhilarating pictures even when shooting conditions are tough.

• DIGIC II Image Processor: The PowerShot A610 incorporates Canon's unique DIGIC II Image Processor. Designed to improve processing speed and image quality, DIGIC II provides markedly faster camera startup, autofocus and playback, and it assures that every image is more colorfully vibrant.

• Shoot High-quality Movies: The Canon PowerShot A610 enables you to record QVGA (320 x 240), 60 fps movies up to 1 minute, or VGA quality movies at 30 or 15 fps with no limit to the clip length.

• USB 2.0 Hi-Speed Interface for Fast Downloads: PowerShot A610 also supports the USB 2.0 Hi-Speed standard, so you'll enjoy the highest possible data transfer speeds when using a USB 2.0 compatible computer. The camera's performance level is high enough to take full advantage of super-high-speed SD memory cards as well.

• Compatible with a Variety of Accessories to Take a Better Shot: Compatible with a complete range of optional accessories, including supplementary lenses (Wide Converter and Tele Converter lenses) and an auxiliary flash unit which doubles your flash range for pro-level illumination, the PowerShot A610 lets you take your photography even further.

• Print/Share Button for Easy Direct Printing and Downloading: The PowerShot A610's Print/Share button makes direct printing easier than ever. Simply connect the A610 to a Canon CP, Selphy or Pixma Photo Printer or any PictBridge compatible photo printer, press the lighted Print/Share button and print! Also, use the Print/Share button to transfer images directly to a computer (Windows and Macintosh). Special print options include ID Photo Print and Movie Print with Canon CP and Selphy Photo Printers.
