The 12.1-megapixel PowerShot A1200, featuring a wide-angle 28 mm*1 4x optical zoom lens and the DIGIC 4 image processor, makes it easy for all users to achieve excellent results through the inclusion of Smart Auto with Advanced Subject Detection and 32 distinct shooting scenes. The Blur Reduction mode makes possible sharp images even under challenging shooting conditions by enabling an accelerated shutter speed to compensate for camera shake and subject blur.
Live View Control allows even first-time users to easily manually change settings for brightness, color and tone, and see the results instantly on the camera's 2.7-inch LCD monitor. The A1200 records HD 1,280 x 720 video at 24 fps and offers the Miniature Effect movie mode, and includes the Discrete mode, which disables the flash and turns off all camera sounds for when quiet performance is required.
