The Sure Shot 130u camera combines a stylish and ultra compact design with a wide range of features including a 38-130mm f/5.6 -12.5, 3.4x zoom lens to offer users exceptional image quality at an affordable price. Canon has been able to reduce the size of the new Sure Shot 130u compared to previous models in the Sure Shot range, by incorporating a small yet powerful flash unit and an integrated metering and focusing system (AE/AF) into the body of this miniature camera.In addition to its ultra compact size, the Sure Shot 130u features a new generation design encompassing striking aluminum curved casing which will satisfy even the most style conscious of users. The Sure Shot 130u is also extremely user friendly and features a large zoom button for easy operation and a large LCD panel making it easy for the user to view the settings. Its integrated AE/AF sensor reduces the size of the Sure Shot 130u and provides improved automatic exposure. A 16-zone metering sensor can detect backlighting, which means that more subtle exposure can also be achieved. An exposure compensation of +1.5 or -1.5 stop is also possible. The Auto Focus can be controlled by switching between seven focusing points, which are linked to the zoom. When set on the custom function, center-point autofocus is also possible.Five custom functions are available in addition to the camera's standard features. These include the real time release mode, flash mode memory, auto rewind disabled, center-focus point selection and continuous shooting. The Sure Shot 130u also incorporates seven flash modes for high performance exposure in different situations. These features allow the photographer to set up their own camera setting preferences.
