The 14.1-megapixel PowerShot A2200 incorporates a wide-angle 28 mm*1 4x optical zoom lens and Canon's DIGIC 4 image processor, and includes Smart Auto with Advanced Subject Detection and 32 specially defined shooting scenes.

The A2200 also offers Live View Control, enabling users to easily make adjustments to picture settings using the camera's 2.7-inch LCD monitor, and a Blur Reduction mode that automatically adjusts the ISO setting for a faster shutter speed to reduce the effects of camera shake or subject movement.
The model supports the recording of HD 1,280 x 720 video at 30 fps and includes the Miniature Effect movie mode for enhanced user enjoyment. It also includes the Discrete mode for flash-free, sound-free operation when taking photos.
