Styled to be easy to hold, engineered for simple use while fostering creative energies, the PowerShot SD450 Digital-Camera sets itself apart from others by being the most friendly camera to use and own. With effective 5 megapixels , you can take still pictures at up to 2,592 x 1,944 resolution and movies at up to 640x480 with true-life motion at 30 frames per second. All images are stored on an SD memory-card that fits into the SD slot. Of course there's autofocus and 15 selectable auto shooting modes, easy image transfer to PC or Macintosh computers, and PictBridge for printing pix without using a computer. A built-in electronic-flash lets you shoot in darkened areas for outstanding results. Another astounding achievement is Canon managed to fit a 2.5" bright, easy-view LCD screen at the rear of the camera. There's also an optical viewfinder for traditionalists. For a great, all around camera for you and your family, the compact SD450 offers just what you need (and a little more) to capture moments for many happily ever afters.Shooting Modes - Auto; Manual, Special Scene (Portrait, Night Snapshot, Foliage, Snow, Beach, Fireworks, Underwater, Indoor, Kids & Pets), Digital Macro, My Colors, Stitch Assist, MoviePhoto Effects - Vivid, Neutral, Low Sharpening, Sepia, Black & WhiteSelf-Timer activates shutter after 2 sec./10 sec. delayImage Compression modes - Still Image -Exif 2.2 (JPEG) / Movie -AVI (Image -Motion JPEG; Audio -WAVE (Monaural))SecureDigital SD or MMC memory slotPictBridgeImaging modes - Still Image -2,592 x 1,944 (Large), 2,048 x 1,536 (Medium 1), 1,600 x 1,200 (Medium 2), 640 x 480 (Small) / Movie -640 x 480/320 x 240 (30 fps/15 fps), 320 x 240 (1 min. at 60 fps), 160 x 120 (3 min. at 15 fps)Monaural sound outputNTSC and PAL TV outputUnit Dimensions - 3.39 (W) x 2.11 (H) x 0.85 (D) inch / Weight - 4.93 oz.
