Zoom in on Wider, Steadier s
--------------------------------
8x Optical Zoom with 28mm Wide-Angle Lens The 8x Optical Zoom
(35mm equivalent: 28–224mm) in Power A4000 IS digital camera
is the most powerful ever seen in Canon’s A-Series.It gives you a
huge range of potential images from a single location, which is
perfect for sporting events and other occasions when your
shooting stance is fixed, or times when moving in too close might
disrupt the action you’re trying to capture. The lens’s 28mm
wide-angle perspective puts more image in every frame for
dynamic, exciting s.
Optical Image Stabilizer
------------------------
Handheld shooting can often lead to camera shake, making photos
and videos blurry. Canon’s Optical Image Stabilizer is a
sophisticated system that uses lens-shift technology to correct
unwanted camera movement. It makes handheld photography more
practical, providing excellent image quality in many difficult
shooting situations: outdoors at dusk, inside without a flash,
and even at the telephoto end of the zoom range without a tripod.
For photos, it enables shooting at slower shutter speeds,
accommodating more low-light shooting situations than ever before
without having to boost ISO sensitivity. With camera shake and
vibration reduced, you get a sharper, steadier image. And because
it is an optical system, there is none of the image degradation
typical with electronic image stabilizers.
High Resolution, Highly Advanced Performance
--------------------------------------------
16.0 Megapixel Image Sensor with DIGIC 4 Image Processor
--------------------------------------------------------
With the camera’s 16.0 Megapixels of resolution, your images are
rich and clear, with textures and tiny details faithfully
reproduced even at the long end of the big 8x Optical Zoom. This
high level of resolution is ideal for creating the largest
prints, and allows you the flexibility to blow up and crop any
section of an image to express your creativity. The DIGIC 4 Image
Processor powers the camera’s advanced systems and features,
ensuring fast, reliable performance with low battery consumption.
DIGIC 4 Image Processor
-----------------------
Canon DIGIC Image Processors have set the standard for
functionality and performance since their groundbreaking
introduction in 1999. With each successive generation, DIGIC
processors have brought elevated performance and powerful new
features to Power digital cameras. The DIGIC 4 Image
Processor has ushered in a new level of picture quality and
accelerated processing, making possible features such as
high-speed continuous shooting, HD video and Face Detection
Self-timer.
A Smarter Camera Means Better Photos

Smart AUTO
----------

go-anywhere compact digital – that takes the hassle out of
capturing beautiful images. The Power A4000 IS digital camera
gives you Smart AUTO – sophisticated Canon technology that makes
getting that great as simple as pressing the shutter button.
Smart AUTO automatically detects scenes by assessing various
factors in both the background and the subject. Detected scenes
are analyzed using 32 predefined shooting situations. The camera
then makes optimal settings to ensure the best possible image
capture when shooting still images. Smart AUTO also includes

track non-human moving subjects like animals and vehicles. With
Smart AUTO, all you have to do is frame your and capture
away.

with desired camera movement.
Macro (Hybrid) Corrects for shift-type camera shake, which
typically occurs in macro (close-up) shooting.
Dynamic Effective for video shooting at wide-angle focal lengths,
eliminating the unwanted shaking that typically occurs while
walking.
Powered Compensates for hand movement when shooting video at the
telephoto end of the zoom range, where camera shake is magnified.

stopped because it is not needed.
