An enhanced Face Detection system can select and track a face within a certain range. AF-Point Zoom allows you to zoom the display of the AF frame to check focus when shooting or right after taking a shot. Face Detection AF/AE/FE/WB detects a face, sets focus on the face, adjusts exposure, white balance and ensures the face is correctly illuminated when the flash fires. Red-Eye Correction automatically detects and corrects red eyes when the flash fires.
There is a large high-resolution 2.5-in. LCD screen
(115K dots). The Canon A470 allows you to shoot a clip of
640x480 movie at 20fps until the SD memory card
is full (4GB clips at a time or 1 hour of shooting).
Motion Detection Technology detects camera shake, brightness of subject and background, and movement of face and subject. By consolidating and analyzing these parameters, it adjusts the intelligent ISO speed to reduce the effects of camera shake and subject movement.
