PowerShot A495

Canon launches the new PowerShot A495, an affordable and user-friendly compact digital camera designed for fun and everyday use. Replacing the popular PowerShot A480, the new model combines a subtle, soft-edged design with a genuine Canon lens and a range of intelligent automatic features - packing impressive performance into a small, lightweight body. Available in silver, red and blue, the Canon PowerShot A495 offers a 10.0 Megapixel sensor and genuine Canon 3.3x optical zoom lens, producing large, detailed images. Smart Auto mode takes care of picture settings automatically, and a bright, vivid 6.2cm (2.5") LCD display makes it simple to frame, capture and share images.

Effortless shooting is guaranteed by Smart Auto with Scene Detection Technology, which automatically recognizes shooting conditions and applies the optimum picture settings required to get the perfect shot. The Canon PowerShot A495 automatically detects up to 18 different shooting scenes - producing great results whether shooting on a sunny day, capturing a subject at a close range, or at night. Taking care of all picture settings so the user doesn’t have to, Smart Auto makes photography easier than ever.

i-Contrast technology on the Canon A495 detects difficult lighting conditions - ensuring that light or darker areas are captured in detail in the final image - while Smart Flash Exposure automatically adjusts flash levels to suit both the subject and conditions. In daylight, for example, Smart Flash Exposure will detect and eliminate shadows on a face caused by bright sunlight, automatically engaging the flash to ensure everyone looks their best.

Face Detection Technology makes it easy to get perfect group shots, recognizing multiple faces and making sure everyone is well-exposed, natural and in focus. Red-eye correction on the Canon PowerShot A495 also detects and removes any red-eye in images after the shot has been taken, making friends and family look great at all times. A clever Face Self-Timer feature, available on the Canon PowerShot A495, simplifies group shots by waiting until an additional face enters the frame before the shot is taken two seconds later - ensuring everyone can be part of the picture.

Higher performance in dark situations is now achieved thanks to a new Low Light mode, which automatically sets the ISO at a reduced resolution to capture images in dark conditions. The Canon A495 also incorporates Motion Detection Technology, to prevent blur when capturing moving subjects, allowing the most inexperienced user to get great, blur free images with ease.
