The 8 MP PowerShot A720 IS packs a powerful punch
in an affordable package. Be creative with features that give you as much
control as you want, like ISO 1600 and a 6x zoom with optical Image Stabilizer.
8.0 Megapixels
An 8 Megapixel sensor records your images in full, vivid detail - so you are
free to crop, enlarge and enjoy every photo.
6x optical zoom with optical Image Stabilizer
Optical Image Stabilizer technology counteracts the effect of camera shake. Keep
working at slower shutter speeds in low-light conditions. The 6x optical zoom
affords framing flexibility with pin-sharp clarity.
DIGIC III with advanced Noise Reduction
The DIGIC III processor delivers high-speed camera performance, superior colour
rendition and cleaner images at high ISO speeds. iSAPS technology uses shooting
scene information to optimise camera settings before a shot is taken.
Face Detection AF/AE/FE
Face Detection Technology ensures superb people shots by automatically detecting
up to 9 faces within a frame and setting the optimum focus, flash and exposure.
Red-Eye Correction in playback keeps eyes looking natural.
Shooting Modes and My Colors
Choose from 19 shooting modes, including a creative zone for manual control. Get
the perfect shot, even in tricky lighting conditions. Quickly select options on
the Mode Dial like Portrait, Night Snapshot or Kids & Pets. Enter the Special
Scene Modes menu for even more choices. My Colors allows special in-camera
colour effects to be applied to images and movies.
2.5" wide-view LCD screen
A 2.5" LCD screen with real-image optical viewfinder offers wide viewing angles
for easy sharing.
Digital Tele-Converter and Safety Zoom
Safety Zoom offers extra zoom magnification without affecting image quality.
Just like using a tele-converter attachment, Digital Tele-Converter adds extra
reach on every shot.
ISO 1600 and High ISO Auto
ISO 1600 combines with optical Image Stabilizer to counteract image blur from
camera shake and deliver flash-free results in low-light settings. High ISO Auto
automatically selects the right ISO setting for the situation.
Smooth VGA movies
Record smooth VGA movies with sound. Choose Long Play VGA mode (30fps) for
stronger compression that allows twice as much video to be stored on your memory
card.
Accessories
A full range of optional accessories includes wide and tele converter lenses, a
close-up lens and high-power slave flash.
