4-Megapixel Digital ‘Elph’ Camera
The PowerShot S400 Digital Elph is the world’s smallest 4-megapixel digital camera with a
3x optical zoom (3.6x digital/11x combined) lens. When powered down, the lens is safely
tucked away inside of the highly durable stainless steel body that measures just 3.4 x 2.2 x
1.1˝. This is truly a “pocket size” camera and at a
scant 6.5 ounces, it’s the lightest Digital ELPH yet.
The camera offers a stainless steel body with a new
super hard Cerabrite finish to guard against
scratching; 9-point AiAF autofocus system that
makes focusing quick and easy; Movie Mode; and
Direct Print capabilities with Canon’s CP-200 and
CP-300 Card Printers (dye-sub) or Bubble Jet
Direct printers.
FEATURES
Superb Image Quality
◆ 4.0-megapixel CCD (up to 2272 x 1704),
lets you print up to 11 x 14˝ with plenty
of fine detail and stunning results.
◆ Auto noise reduction with 1.3 sec or
longer shutter speeds for a noticeable
upgrade in clarity. And a perfectly round
aperture makes the background blur
pleasingly out of focus, for results that
are even more professional looking.
◆ DIGIC Imaging Processor revolutionizes
how you shoot digital by allowing the
camera to process images faster and
improving the accuracy of the autofocus.
◆ iSAPS technology is an entirely new
scene-recognition technology developed
for digital cameras by Canon. Using an
internal database of thousands of differ-
ent photos, iSAPS works with the fast
DIGIC Imaging Processor to improve
focus speed and accuracy, as well as
exposure and white balance.
3x Optical/3.6x Digital Zoom
◆ Whatever your subject—landscape,
portrait, spur-of-the-moment snap, you’ll
capture it with the PowerShot S400’s 3x
optical zoom lens. Incredibly compact yet
powerful, the retractable, high resolution
7.4-22mm lens (36-108mm equivalent in
35mm) is perfectly complemented by the
3.6x digital zoom (11x total zoom).
◆ Choose single, center-point AF for the
easiest way to sharp focus. Or use the
sophisticated 9-point AiAF system when
subjects are away from center frame.
Whichever you use, you get razor sharp
shots every time — whether you’re hold-
ing the camera vertically or horizontally.
◆ Intelligent Orientation Sensor knows
whether your images were shot horizon-
tally or vertically. It then adjusts AF, AE,
and white balance accordingly and auto-
matically rotates your images to the right
position for viewing during playback.
High Performance
◆ Amazing 1.1˝ depth and low-weight
(6.5 oz.) is achieved using state-of-the-
art, ultra high-density mounting
technology.
◆ Offers fast start-up, zooming, image
scrolling, image magnification and
high-speed fast forwarding during
playback
◆ The camera also eliminate the time lag,
creating LCD and viewfinder images that
resize right along with the zoom
◆ Continuous shooting of up to 2.5 frames
per second at maximum resolution. The
interval between shots in single frame
mode is only 1.5seconds
◆ Nine image quality (3 resolution x 3
compression) modes let you choose the
level of definition that best meets your
needs including on-screen applications,
such as web sites and CD-ROMs
◆ Shooting modes include Auto, Manual,
and Stitch Assist for lining up panoramas.
◆ Photo Effect mode offers Low
Sharpening to reduce edge emphasis,
Vivid Color to highlight contrast and
definition, Neutral for a subdued shot,
Sepia for a historical feel, and true,
sharp-contrast B&W. These tools can
also be applied to movie clips.
WP-DC800 Waterproof Case
This terrific option is water-resistant and can
withstand pressure up to 130´. It’s great for diving
enthusiasts and foul weather fans. Best of all, the
camera is still a snap to use—even in the housing.
