The Canon A610 features a shutter speed range
from 15-1/2,500 sec., full exposure flexibility
with 13 Shooting Modes, and even Custom White
Balance for accurate colour reproduction under
artificial light.
Optional accessories for the Canon A610 include:
Soft Compact Case PSC-65; Side Pack PSC-1; Wide
Converter WC-DC52 and Tele Converter TC-DC52A
(both require Conversion Lens Adapter LA-DC52F);
and 52mm Close-up Lens 250D. Recognizing that
the built-in flash can sometimes be too weak to
illuminate distant subjects properly, Canon also
provides an optional High Power Flash HF-DC1.
For those into underwater photography, there is
a All Weather Case WP-DC60 effective at depths
of up to 40 meters (130 feet).

*1: This digital camera supports Exif 2.2
(also called "Exif Print"). Exif
Print is a standard for enhancing the communication
between digital cameras and printers. By
connecting to an Exif Print-compliant printer,
the camera's image data at the time of shooting
is used and optimized, yielding extremely
high quality prints.
All data is based on Canon's standard testing
methods.
Subject to change without notice.
