The 3.2 Megapixel PowerShot has a number of new features including a 'Special Scene
Mode' to deliver optimal results in tricky lighting conditions and a Print/Share
button to simplify direct printing and uploading to Windows PCs.
Shooting modes
The PowerShot A75 has 13 shooting modes, which include a new 'Special
Scene' mode. Within the 'Special Scene' mode are six selectable pre-sets
that optimise the camera's white balance, exposure and other settings
for specific shooting situations. These scene modes are 'fireworks', 'foliage',
'beach', 'snow', 'underwater' and 'indoor'. Movie clips of up to 3 minutes
(QVGA/QQVGA) or 30 second (VGA) can be recorded, complete with sound and
with the option to cut and edit in-camera.
Fast auto-focus
The 9-point AiAF is capable of focusing the 3x optical zoom quickly even
when the subject is off-centre and can be switched to single point (centre)
AF. An auto-assist beam helps to focus in low light conditions and the
camera has a 5cm closest focusing distance. The flash can be synchronised
to a slow shutter speed and includes red-eye reduction. With the monitor
turned off, 2.2 shots per second shooting speed can be maintained for
a 12 shot burst at Large/Fine resolution.
Latest to include DIGIC processor
The PowerShot A75 features the same dedicated DIGIC processor now featured
in all Canon cameras up the EOS 10D Digital SLR and professional series
PowerShot Pro1, taking advantage of the same processing speed and award
winning image processing algorithms. An Intelligent Orientation sensor
detects the orientation of the camera as shots are taken, automatically
rotating the image before playback.
Direct Printing made easy
The camera features Canon's new Print/Share button, which lights up when
a successful connection is made between the camera's USB port and a compatible
printer or Windows PC. Pushing the button when lit will initiate a print
of the currently displayed image (based on the default PictBridge or Direct
Printer settings of the printer) or an automatic transfer of images to
the PC . The camera will transfer all images, all images not yet transferred,
or all images marked for transfer, depending on what user settings have
been selected in the Camera's set up options.
Extended direct printing functions
The PowerShot A75 has also been given extended PC-less direct printing
functionality. When connected to a Canon Compact Photo printer, a ’Movie
Print’ mode divides the selected movie clip into equal parts and
prints up to 63 equally spaced thumbnail frames onto a single sheet of
Postcard Size Paper (100 x 148 mm). This feature is ideal for analysing
a golf swing or tennis serve, or 'freezing' an action sequence. An ‘ID
Photo Print’ function prints a number of durable passport photo size
images (of selected height and width) to a single sheet. The camera can
be used for direct printing to any PictBridge compatible printer, regardless
of brand.
Software supplied includes browsing and printing software ZoomBrowser
EX (Windows) and ImageBrowser (Mac). Other software includes PhotoStitch,
plus photo and movie manipulation software ArcSoft PhotoStudio and VideoImpression.
Drivers include TWAIN (Windows 98/2000) and WIA (Windows Me). Picture
Transfer Protocol (PTP) support allows the camera to connect to any Windows
XP and Mac OS X (v10.1/v10.2) system without the requirement for a driver
installation.
Camera ownership entitles the purchaser to 100MB free storage space on
the CANON iMAGE GATEWAY, a form of private online gallery where albums
can be stored and shared and where the camera's settings (such as shutter
sounds and start up image) can be personalised.
