7.1 Megapixel CCD sensor
The PowerShot A620's 7.1 Megapixel CCD sensor allows for superb quality photo prints with pin-sharp definition up to A3+. It provides more than enough detail for printing cropped images.
4x optical zoom
A bright 4x optical zoom produces high-contrast images. It combines with digital zoom for 16x magnification.
DIGIC II and iSAPS
DIGIC II is like a powerful brain inside your camera. It links all the camera functions and processes shooting information at high speed for excellent responsiveness and extended battery life. iSAPS is a built in assistant that uses scene information to optimise camera settings even before the shot is taken.
Vari-angle LCD
The 2.0" vari-angle LCD screen twists in all directions. It is great for self portraits and for framing shots with the camera held at creative angles. Selectable grid lines help with composition and levelling horizons.
Shooting modes
20 shooting modes provide for full manual control and creative flexibility. 8 special scene modes include Night Snapshot, Kids & Pets, Indoor, Foliage, Snow, Beach, Fireworks and Underwater. My Colors allows in-camera colour effects to be applied in real time.
Movies with sound
Shoot extended high quality movies with sound. Different formats include fast frame mode at 60 fps (QVGA), standard mode at 30 fps (VGA) and compact email mode (QQVGA).
Super Macro and flexible focusing
Focus as close as 1cm from your subject with Super Macro. Rely on 9-point AiAF to keep even off-centre subjects sharply in focus, or use FlexiZone AF/AE to manually select focus points.
Accessories
Optional accessories include a 40m depth waterproof case, 0.7x wide converter lens, 1.75x tele-converter lens and slave flash.
Direct printing
Connect to any PictBridge or Canon Direct Print compatible photo printer and push the Print/Share button for instant photolab quality prints. It can even print ID photos or Movie Prints when connected to a Canon SELPHY Compact Photo Printer.
USB 2.0 Hi-Speed
USB 2.0 Hi-Speed connects the PowerShot A620 to computers for fast uploads of stills and movies.
