The PowerShot A3400 IS features an approximately 16-megapixel CCD sensor, the high-performance DIGIC 4 image processor, and a 5x optical zoom lens (28-140 mm*/ f/2.8-f/6.9). It offers Smart AUTO, a function that automatically selects optimal settings based on shooting conditions, making it easy for anyone to achieve great-quality shots.

The A3400 IS, equipped with optical image stabilization, combines Intelligent IS, which automatically selects the most appropriate image stabilizer mode based on shooting conditions, and Smart AUTO for a total of 78 shooting situations from which the camera automatically selects the ideal settings.

The A3400 IS newly includes a Help Button that provides users with guidance regarding operation and settings while the ring-type operation selector includes an Auto button that, when pressed, allows users to easily return to Auto Mode from any previously selected shooting mode.

Marking a first for Canon’s PowerShot A series, the A3400 IS’s 3.0-inch LED monitor with approximately 230,000 dots offers the convenience of touch-panel operation, supporting such functions as Touch Shutter, which lets users snap a shot simply by touching the screen.
