Replacing the highly popular PowerShot A620, the PowerShot A630 features a rotating 2.5 inch vari angle LCD, 4x optical zoom lens, and also a huge selection of creative shooting modes.

The PowerShot A630 packs a great choice of advanced features right remarkably compact space:

• 8.0 megapixels
• 2.5 inch vari angle LCD screen and real image optical viewfinder
• 4x optical zoom
• DIGIC II, iSAPS, 9 Point AiAF, FlexiZone AF/AE
• Digital teleconverter and Safety Zoom
• 21 shooting modes

Quality control
The 8.0 megapixel sensor makes for creative cropping while providing enough detail for large, high quality prints. A whole new Safety Zoom takes a look at the camera's full resolution to offer extra zoom magnification without having affected image quality up to 16x zoom when shooting Small size images. Users may also activate digital Teleconverter to add new extra telephoto reach on all shots, very much like adding a teleconverter lens on the camera.

The 4x optical contact achieves a 35 140mm focal length (35mm equivalent) while allowing you to keep a compressed size. The lens construction incorporates 8 elements in 7 groupings, including two aspherical elements to increase sharpness all over the whole image. By using a maximum aperture range of f2.8 (wide) to f4.1 (telephoto), the lens is remarkably bright in the telephoto end.

ISO 800 mode improves results when shooting in low light settings and enables flash free photography indoors. The camera's High ISO Auto setting prioritizes fast shutter speeds by automatically while using higher collection of ISO sensitivities, lowering the risk of unwanted image blur.

Improved LCD and playback
A larger 2.5 inch vari angle LCD screen enables accurate framing from unusual angles, including those encountered while using the 1 centimeter (.4 inch) Macro mode. The enhanced software (UI) retains a selectable Grid Line display that can help with rule of thirds compositions, while users can enable a good solid 3:2 ratio overlay during shooting to see the printable area for standard photo prints. Playback is enhanced by overexposure warning feature, which indicates overexposed areas in captured images.

Flexible shooting
The PowerShot A630 offers users lots of versatile features for creative photography. Either 21 shooting modes includes Program, Aperture priority, Shutter priority, and full Manual modes for complete exposure control. A 2nd Curtain Sync function constructed of creative flash exposures, which include light trails. Artistic photo effects is often applied in camera during and after shooting with My Colors.

Filming can be possible with a high standard VGA quality movies will be captured with sound during a smooth 30 frames per second (fps). The AV out connection and supplied cable comes with full screen playback on a TV.

Full number of accessories
A comprehensive variety optional lenses and accessories includes wide (0.7x) and telephoto (1.75x) converter lenses. The not compulsory High Power Flash offers further flexibility for evening photography, while an optional waterproof case allows full control at depths all the way to 40 meters. (Accessories ordinarily are not included and are required to be purchased separately.)

Technologies Explained
DIGIC II
Canon's purpose built DIGIC II (DIGital Imaging Core) image processor links all primary camera functions for max efficiency. DIGIC II processes signals at high speeds, causing outstanding responsiveness, rapid autofocus, and extended continuous shooting ability. Advanced image processing algorithms deliver superb image detail and color reproduction with accurate white balance and minimal noise. DIGIC II operates efficiently to increase battery, for extended shooting on one charge.

iSAPS
iSAPS (Intelligent Scene Analysis based on Photographic Space) automatically optimizes key camera settings before every shot. Each scene is analyzed and cross referenced against Photographic Space a vast in camera library of photographic data. This permits the camera in making optimal adjustments to autoexposure, autofocus, and auto white balance before image capture occurs.

9 Point AiAF
Canon's 9 point AiAF (Artificial Intelligence Autofocus) automatically scans and selects subjects from a wide range nine focusing areas on the scene. This ensures accurately focused images even though subjects ordinarily are not in the heart of the frame.

FlexiZone AF/AE
FlexiZone AF/AE lets users manually simply select the focus point from all time the frame by moving the autofocus window inside the viewfinder. Exposure is usually for this focus point out make certain that the chosen subject is accurately focused plus the scene correctly exposed.

Digital Teleconverter and Safety Zoom
Similar to placing an accessory lens relating to the front in the camera, Canon's Digital Teleconverter adds consistent zoom to each shot (1.6x/2.0x). While optical converter lenses result in a loss of aperture and consequently amount of reliability slower shutter speed, the Digital Teleconverter maintains aperture size, lowering the risk of image blur.

Safety Zoom protects the look from interpolation at high levels of digital zoom, allowing users to extend zoom magnification without having to sacrifice image quality.
