New Scene Modes Help You Get Creative the Easy Way.
PowerShot A800 digital camera is equipped with plenty of easy ways give your shots high quality and fun creative touches.
Super Vivid mode is just what the name implies. When you shoot in this mode, colors are automatically heightened and saturated for an intensity that's truly eye-popping. You'll want to try it out in a wide range of applications - nature, city life, interiors and more - to get a feel for the effects you can create.
Poster Effect turns any conventional shot into an exciting, artistic "poster." By making the transitions between colors more abrupt, the mode creates the effect of a hand-painted poster. Portraits are a natural for this mode, but you'll find that the effect can give any shot a visually arresting new dimension.
Blur Reduction automatically reduces camera shake, so your shots are clear and steady. The system detects surrounding brightness and controls shutter speed - all while you're concentrating on getting the shot you want. Without any extra effort on your part, your shots are crisp and detailed.
