The PowerShot A80 has a 270° Variable-Angle LCD
Monitor that gives you even more shooting options.
Turn the LCD monitor 180° toward the front of the
camera and the A80 displays your choice of a
mirror image or a non-reversed image, to give you a
true view of your actual shot. Now you can create
brilliant pictures, no matter where you're standing.
Megapixel Picture Quality
◆ 4.0 megapixel CCD sensor captures
images up to 2272 x 1704 pixels with
exceptional detail and color fidelity.
◆ DIGIC Imaging Processor revolutionizes
how you shoot digital by allowing the
camera to process images faster and
improving the accuracy of the
autofocus. DIGIC also reduces the
effects on noise in your images.
◆ iSAPS technology is an entirely new
scene-recognition technology developed
for digital cameras by Canon. Using an
internal database of thousands of
different photos, iSAPS works with the
fast DIGIC Imaging Processor to
improve focus speed and accuracy, as
well as exposure and white balance.
PictBridge
◆ In addition to connecting directly to any
Canon dye-sub or Bubble Jet Direct com-
patible printer for fast, high-quality photos,
the A80 supports PictBridge, the new
standard for high-quality direct printing.
–
A step above Canon DirectPrint, the vendor-
independent, PictBridge allows digital
cameras (and camcorders) to connect
directly to any photo printer or other output
device (both must be PictBridge compatible)
making inter-brand connectivity a reality.
– Since PictBridge is independent of a con-
nection and communications protocol, it
can employ existing connections such as
USB. Once connected, photo selections and
print instructions can be made from the
camera’s LCD and control buttons.
– With PictBridge compatible cameras like
the A80 you can easily print pictures at
home, the office or while traveling, with
any PictBridge compatible printer.
Intelligent Orientation Sensor
◆ With the Intelligent Orientation Sensor, the
A80 can tell if you shot a photo vertically
or horizontally. It automatically adjusts AF,
AE and white balance and makes sure that
photos are oriented correctly when you
download them to your computer.
3x Optical Lens & 9-Point AiAF
◆ The PowerShot A80 features an original
Canon 3x optical zoom (38-114mm
equivalent in 35mm) for close-ups that
will amaze and inspire. Extremely precise,
Canon has engineered the lens to ensure
that zooming is fast and continuous, so
nothing gets in the way of your picture
taking. In addition, there is 3.6x digital
zoom for a total zooming range of 11x.
◆ Perfect focus via Single- or 9-point AiAF.
Choose single, center-point AF for the
easiest way to sharp focus. Or use the
camera’s sophisticated 9-point AiAF
system when subjects are away from
center frame. Whatever you choose,
you'll get sharply focused shots every
time — whether you're holding the
camera vertically or horizontally.
