The Canon A700 adds ISO 800 to allow the use
of a faster shutter speed when shooting in low-light
situations. Also, "High ISO Auto", which
automatically increases the ISO speed setting
beyond the selectable settings when needed, has
been added to the ISO speed position.
Movies can be recorded VGA (640 x 480 pixels)
at a full 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.). It
has a 2.5-inch Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) with
backlighting with lower power consumption and
high brightness.
Various accessories sold separately, such as
conversion lenses, are available. In addition,
the High-Power Flash HF-DC1 (sold separately)
that extends the range of flash shooting is available.

*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.
