A Smarter Camera Means Better Photos
------------------------------------
Smart AUTO
----------
Photographers of all levels appreciate a camera – especially a
go-anywhere compact digital – that takes the hassle out of
capturing beautiful images. The Power A1400 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 Advanced Subject
Detection, which allows the camera to detect and track non-human
moving subjects like animals and vehicles. With Smart AUTO, all
you have to do is frame your and capture away.
Shooting Modes/Special Scene Modes

Say Goodbye to Blur
-------------------
Digital IS
----------
Digital IS beats the blur that mars many s by recognizing the
main subject, then automatically applying the camera shake
correction that best suits the situation. If the subject is a
person, blur reduction processing is performed. For landscapes,
cityscapes and other still scenes, the camera takes 3 quick
successive s and composes them into a single clear image. If
the subject is moving, the camera takes 3 successive s, then
automatically saves the clearest image.
A Charge that Lasts as Long as a Memory
---------------------------------------
New ECO Mode helps reduce power consumption for longer battery
life
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Power A1400 takes energy conservation to the next level
with ECO Mode, which provides more s per single charge
through LCD monitor and camera power management. ECO Mode can be
activated via a dedicated button for easy power preservation when
an outlet is unavailable or the moment is too exciting to put the
camera down. ECO Mode quickly wakes the camera from when a
button is pressed so you won't miss the moment. When the fun with
family and friends runs late into the evening, ECO Mode on the
Power A1400 makes sure your camera keeps up.

an illustrative feel. Miniature Effect enhances perspective in a
scene, blurring the top and bottom to make it look as if it were
created with miniature models. You can also make a quirky

look as it capturing the photo using a "toy" or pinhole camera.
