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 A2500 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
----------------------------------
Smart AUTO The camera automatically selects the best shooting
settings for optimal quality based on subjects and environmental
factors to provide point-and-shoot simplicity. Program The camera
automatically and intelligently selects the aperture/shutter
speed combination based on the shooting conditions. Live View
Control Enables Brightness, Color, and Tone adjustments to your
images using easy-to-understand controls. Digital IS The camera
digitally corrects image blur by analyzing the subject prior to
choosing the best correction method. Portrait Brings the subject
into focus while beautifully blurring the background. Face
Self-timer The camera waits for a face to enter the frame before
releasing the shutter. Low Light For high quality image capture
in an amazing range of dimly lit situations. Fisheye Effect Now
you can get the fisheye effect – a classic photographic
distortion – without a fisheye lens. Miniature Effect Give images
a miniature look with an effect that emphasizes perspective by
blurring the top and bottom of the image. Toy Camera Effect
Simulates photos taken with "toy" or pinhole cameras, darkening
the image at the edges to create a vignette effect. Monochrome
Choose from three single-tone effects: Black-and-White, Sepia, or
Blue. Super Vivid Super Vivid intensifies existing hues,
saturating the scene with bright colors. Effect
Effect combines several similar shades into one color, turning
subtle gradations into eye-catching, scene-popping contrasts.

unnatural bluish tint. Fireworks Create brilliant images of
skyrocketing fireworks. Long Shutter Use to blur moving subjects
for artistic effect, ideal for urban night photography. Movie

Gorgeous HD Video From Your Still Camera
----------------------------------------
Shoot brilliant 720p HD video
-----------------------------

definition video anytime, anywhere. With a simple push of the
dedicated movie button, you'll be able to instantly record every
moment in motion. 720p HD video is smooth, vivid, and beautifully
lifelike, making it an ideal way to capture special memories. In
addition to being able to shoot 720p HD video at 25 frames per

30* frames per second.
*Actual frame rate is 29.97 fps.
Dedicated movie button for easy video capture
---------------------------------------------
It's never been easier to shoot videos with a Power digital
camera. To make shooting video as natural as snapping pictures,
the Power A2500 has a dedicated movie button. No need to plan
ahead, no need to search through menus on the LCD screen; when
you feel a moment would be best captured in 720p HD, simply press
the button and begins. The camera is always ready to
shoot stills or video whenever you want.
Say Goodbye to Blur
-------------------
Digital IS reduces the effect of camera shake and subject
movement
-----------------------------------------------------------------
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 three quick
successive s and composes them into a single clear image. If
the subject is moving, the camera takes three 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 A2500 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 A2500 makes sure your camera keeps up.
More Ways to Get Creative
-------------------------
Scene Modes
-----------
Scene Modes are fun, easy ways to give your s a distinctly
artistic feel without the need for any extra lenses and filters.
Super Vivid heightens and saturates colors for eye-popping
intensity. Effect eliminates gradations between colors for
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
portrait using the Fisheye Effect or add a beautiful single-tone
effect with Monochrome. Toy Camera Effect simulates a vintage
look as it capturing the photo using a "toy" or pinhole camera.
