Design and ergonomics

The PowerShot A480 has a simple, stylish design that feels comfortable in the hand, and with dimensions of 92.1 x 62.0 x 31.1 mm and a weight of 140g fits very easily into a pocket. Controlled by a simple and intuitive button layout, it comes in a choice of four fashionable colours. Framing, reviewing and sharing shots are equally easy with a bright 2.5” LCD screen. Night Display mode aids visibility in low light, while a selectable Grid Line display helps with composition. 

Picture quality and lens

With a 10 Megapixel sensor, you can capture every scene in vivid detail – ready for printing at sizes as large as A3+, or cropping to perfection without losing the detail needed for larger prints. Scenes can be brought closer with the 3.3x optical zoom capability, with an additional digital zoom magnification of up to 13x. As well as powering Face Detection Technology, Canon’s DIGIC III processor provides fast response times, superb image quality and colour reproduction. DIGIC III also delivers advanced noise reduction – ensuring that images remain sharp and clear.

Key features

A selection of shooting modes, which include ones especially designed for scenes with kids or pets, or that are indoors, make it easy to automatically achieve the right settings for any scene. A special 1cm Super Macro mode allows you to capture small scale detail from as close as 1cm away. A suite of Face Detection technologies detects up to nine faces in a scene and adjusts focus, exposure, flash settings and white balance accordingly. Automatic Red-Eye Correction, which can be used in either shooting or playback mode, fixes the red-eye effect caused by flash. Motion Detection Technology uses changes in scene information and scene brightness to accurately identify subject motion and then find the optimal ISO level to match the scene. Supplement your photos with smooth, 30fps VGA video clips. A special Long Play mode lets you store twice the regular amount of footage on your memory card.
