The colours of fun.
From the Canon Visionary Technologies that deliver great shot after shot to the easy access special scene modes, everything about the PowerShot A400 is designed to make photography simple. A camera that takes the hard work out of super results, leaving you to focus on capturing the right moment. And with 3.2 Megapixels, you'll be delighted at the detail and quality of your digital images and photo prints.

Images to impress
A Canon high-performance lens ensures outstanding image quality from one corner of the picture to the other. Its 2.2x optical zoom is great for closing in on the action, while the macro close-up function lets you focus on objects as little as 5cm away. A 9-point AiAF auto-focus system keeps subjects in focus - even when they are not centred in the frame.

All conditions
A special scene mode gives access to 8 clever presets for excellent results in tricky conditions: Portrait, Night Scene, Foliage, Snow, Beach, Fireworks, Underwater¹ and Indoor. Special effects include Sepia, Black & White and Vivid Colour.

Play with movies
The PowerShot A400 takes up to 3-minute movie clips, (up to 30 seconds at VGA quality) complete with sound recording, fun playback and in-camera editing on the 1.5" LCD screen. You can even connect your camera to the TV to share the best moments with family and friends.

Print at home
Get beautiful prints instantly without a PC, with any Canon Direct Print or PictBridge compatible printer. Simply connect your camera to the printer, hit the Print/Share button and you'll have a photo in your hands within seconds. The button also simplifies uploading to any Windows PC. When connected to a Canon Compact Photo Printer, the PowerShot A400 allows you to create handy ID photo prints.

Software
With Canon's ZoomBrowser EX (for Windows) and ImageBrowser (for Macintosh) you can download, store, manage and edit your photos with ease. You can also arrange albums, add comments and create slide shows. Online sharing is easy with 100 MB free storage space on CANON iMAGE GATEWAY.

Splash out
With protection to a depth of 3m, the PowerShot A400's optional All Weather Case opens up new worlds of creativity - from snorkelling to skiing. Other optional accessories include a soft case to keep your camera as new, an AC Adapter Kit and a rechargeable NiMH Battery Charger Kit.
