Quality 10.0 Megapixel imaging
A 10.0 Megapixel sensor gives you the detail for superb, large-scale prints, or
creatively cropping shots to perfection.
3.3X optical zoom
The 3.3x optical zoom lens is designed and manufactured by Canon to the high
standards found throughout the Canon photographic range. In combination with
digital zoom, magnification of up to 13x can be achieved.
6.2cm (2.5”) LCD
A bright, 6.2cm (2.5”) LCD lets you frame, review and share shots comfortably.
Smart Auto mode
Designed to let everyone take great shots, Smart Auto mode uses Scene Detection
Technology to determine the shooting scene from subject brightness, contrast,
distance and overall hue. The camera selects the scene type from 13 variables,
applying the best settings for optimum output. Smart Auto mode also includes
Smart Flash Exposure, which intelligently adjusts flash settings for optimum
results.
Attractive and easy
The PowerShot A490 features a slim, lightweight design that makes it easy to
take anywhere. A simple, intuitive button layout lets users of all ages start
taking pictures right away.
14 shooting modes
A selection of 14 shooting modes makes it easy to get the right settings for any
scene, including Low Light mode for great shots in darker conditions. Simply
select the mode you want, and let the camera take care of everything else.
Face Detection Technology
A suite of Face Detection technologies detects multiple faces in a scene and
adjusts focus, exposure, flash settings and white balance – for optimal results
with natural-looking skin tones. Auto Red-Eye Correction identifies and removes
the red-eye effect that can occur when shooting with flash.
DIGIC III
As well as powering intelligent camera technologies such as Smart Auto, Canon’s
DIGIC III processor ensures fast response times, superb image quality, advanced
noise reduction and accurate colour reproduction.
Motion Detection Technology
Activated in Smart Auto mode, Motion Detection Technology ascertains movement in
the shooting scene. The optimal ISO level is then automatically set, to minimise
blur and maximise image quality.
Long Play Movies
Supplement your still images with fun 30fps VGA movie clips with sound. A Long
Play mode lets you store twice as much footage on the camera’s memory card.
