The Canon PowerShot A630 features 8MP
resolution on a 1/1.8 in. image sensor, 4x optical
zoom, which covers a 35mm film equivalent focal
length ranging from 35 mm (Wide Angle) to 140
mm (Telephoto). It is also one of the few digital
camera that still provides a real-image optical
viewfinder that works with the 4x zoom.
A High ISO Auto mode will automatically increase
the sensitivity (up to ISO 800) so the camera
can use a high enough shutter speed to reduce
blurring caused by camera shake and subject movement.
The large 2.5-in. Vari-angle LCD monitor swivels
to permit shooting from all kinds of different
angles, and is especially convenient when doing
close-to-the-ground macro photography; it also
has a wide viewing angle for comfortable Playback
viewing.
Movies can be recorded at VGA 640 x 480 pixels
@ 30 fps and can be taken continuously until the
clip size reaches 1GB or the clip length reaches
1 hour. Macro mode allows you to shoot a subject
when the distance from the front of the lens to
the subject is 1 cm (0.39 in.).
FlexiZone allows you to move the AF frame manually
to the desired position. This is convenient for
focusing accurately on an off-center subject.
The Canon PowerShot A630 has full exposure
flexibility and is feature-packed. It will grow
with you as you learn more about digital photography.
