  • Page 7: Development Background

    1-1 Development Objectives As of November 2001, Canon is responding to a wide range of customer demands with the six series in our line: the single-lens-reflex EOS 1D and EOS D30, the PowerShot Pro90 IS with 10x zoom lens, the PowerShot G2 with high image quality and advanced features, the highly compact PowerShot S40/S30, the ultra compact IXY DIGITAL 300/200 and the basic value PowerShot A20/A10.
  • Page 8 Full Features / Operation Ease - Photo Effect Modes (Vivid color, Neutral color, Low Sharpening, Sepia and Black & White) are provided - Direct Print Function for dedicated printers (CP-10 Card Photo Printer and CP-100 Photo Printer) - Shutter speed is allowed from 1 to 1/2000 sec. - Enabling for On/Off selection of AF-assist Beam - Macro Function focuses down to 5 cm - Use of widely available size AA battery (2) (primary: alkaline, secondary: NiCd/NiMH)

    Direct Print Function for dedicated printers (CP-10 Card Photo Printer and CP-100 Photo Printer) The PowerShot A200/A100 includes the Direct Print function to enable high quality image printing by connect- ing with a special cable to Canon’s CP-10 Card Photo Printer and CP-100 Photo Printer, newly developed for postcard size prints.
  • Page 12 The PowerShot A200/A100 includes a macro function that can photograph as close as 5 cm from the subject. The area of the photo is about 46 × 34 mm with the PowerShot A200, and about 47 × 35 mm with the PowerShot A100, 46 mm/1.8 inch which is the smallest area that can be photographed so far by any camera in Photo 2-2 Max.
  • Page 13 High speed continuous shooting (approx. 3 images/sec.(PA A100) when LCD monitor is off) The PowerShot A100 can shoot continuous pictures at up to approx. 3 images per second (PS A200 : approx. 2 images per second). The maximum number of continuous images that can be taken are 10 (PS A100), 7 (PS A200) in the Large/Fine mode.
  • Page 14 PowerShot A100 incorporates 3.2x digital zoom. So the 1600X1200 PowerShot A200 functions as a 39-156 mm zoom equivalent, and the PowerShot A100 as a 39-125 mm zoom equivalent 1280X960 (relative to a 35-mm film camera). However, because of the PowerShot A200...
  • Page 15 Immediate image review (can erase while reviewing) The PowerShot/IXY series displays an image for two seconds (or ten seconds, depending on setting)* for confirmation immediately after the photo is taken. The PowerShot A200/A100 supplements this feature with the Erase One Image mode, activated by the button with the same name. This feature allows an undesired image to be erased immediately after the photo is taken, so it does not take up memory space.

  • Page 16: High Image Quality

    The PowerShot A200 adopts the newly developed 1/3.2-type 2-megapixel* CCD (1.2-megapixels for the PowerShot A100). These CCDs have almost the same number of pixels as those in the PowerShot A20/A10, but the screen size is reduced from 1/2.7 type to 1/3.2 type, making the smaller optical system possible.
  • Page 17 AF maintains image focus at any distance Although most cameras in this class typically use fixed-focal-length (pan) focus, the PowerShot A200/A100 is equipped with high-precision AF. This allows sharp images to be obtained regardless of distance to photographic subject. Also, the normally unusable focal range for most such cameras between the macro focal plane and the minimum normal focal plane from 5 cm to infinity, becomes possible.

  • Page 18: High Grade Design

    Graphical symbols representing the basic camera functions are printed on the top of the screen of the PowerShot A200/A100 cameras. The basic functions are this easy to see at a glance on the store shelf, and serve to accent the design. Photo 2-5 PowerShot A100 Fig. 2-9 Graphical symbols at the top 1-12...
