Canon A460 Features
Get In On The Action
New to Canon's PowerShot line, the A460 is the perfect entry point into digital photography. It has all the features that make digital cameras so much fun to use, but it's still easy to master with its straightforward design. The large, full-coverage 2.0" LCD makes composing a photograph as simple as viewing the screen and lining the image up the way you want it to look. Reviewing the image is even easier—no more waiting for your photos to come back from the photo processor, simply review the image right on the camera. If you don't like it, delete it and take another. Photography is almost foolproof with this wonderful technology.
More Than Just Pointing And Shooting
The PowerShot A460 offers you the simpliest way to take digital photographs, but it doesn't leave you out in the cold when it comes to making the photos really look stunning. The automatic focus, metering, and sensitivity features ensure that each photo is sharp and properly exposed. The built-in flash gives you just the right lighting and can be set to automatically reduce the dreaded red-eye effect. Plus, the 4x Optical Zoom lens makes it simple to shoot close-ups, scenery and anything else with the brilliance and flawless clarity that have built Canon's reputation worldwide.
Exceptional Resolution
Any camera resolution over 4.0 megapixels is going to give you a great picture. So consider the extra megapixel on the A460 icing on the proverbial cake. Expect your photos to look as professional as the pictures from a 35mm camera, without the hassle of messing with film.
The Big Picture
Canon equipped the A460 with a large, 100%-coverage 2.0" LCD monitor. This high-resolution, 86,000-pixel screen offers a crisp, clear picture and wide viewing angle, and makes shooting, reviewing, or showing off your images simple, simple, simple.
Put High-Performance Features At Your Command
Great shots in any situation are assured with the A460's 12 shooting modes, including Special Scene modes like Foliage, Beach, Fireworks, and Kids & Pets. Use the advanced presets for the best possible photos under specific conditions. If you want more control, the PowerShot A460 features ISO ranging from 80 to 400, giving you greater flexibility for shooting. You can select the ISO appropriate for the current situation: low ISO for bright light and little motion, high ISO for low light or high motion activities. And you don't need to worry about running out or recharging batteries. Since AA-size batteries can be purchased at any store, simply get new ones locally.
Advanced Image Technology Improves Every Photo
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.
Enjoy Widescreen Shooting
Now you can experience the full impact of every image you shoot. PowerShot A460 is equipped with a 16:9 widescreen option that lets you shoot still photos and movies in a format that's specially made for viewing on widescreen television sets or your computer monitor. Imagine the possibilities: you can entertain friends and family with shows of your own photography or host your own movie nights. It's a great way to give everyone a whole new perspective on your creativity.
The Complete Print Solution
The PowerShot A460 makes direct printing easier than ever. Simply connect the A460 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 to a computer (Windows and Macintosh).
