Canon’s PowerShot N compact camera: peusaect companion for your smartphone and tablet

Canon introduces PowerShot N, a completely new kind of camera, bringing a new approach to creative and spontaneous photography, and instant sharing of images on social media. Unusual design, innovative rings on the lens for zoom and shooting controls, and a tiltable touchscreen help capture your view of the world, while a new Creative Shot mode automatically creates a set of unexpected creative effects for every shot you take. The PowerShot N, with its intuitive Wi-Fi features, is the perfect companion to your smartphone, specially designed to simplify image transfer and enable near real-time[i] sharing of high-quality artistic photos and HD videos.

Artistic effects for every shot

With the new Creative Shot mode, anyone can surprise their friends with unique and creative shots that give new insights into a common scene or subject. When shooting in Creative Shot mode, the PowerShot N uses intelligent algorithms to analyse the scene to determine which of a range of creative effects could enhance its expressiveness or create an unexpected creative move.

By evaluating your shot based on a large number of variables, including composition, exposure, focus point, white balance, range of tones, and contrast, the feature automatically creates five selections of your original image that you can send to the web at the touch of a button.

Canon’s Creative Modes, including Miniature Effect, Soft Focus, Toy Camera and Monochrome, can also be used to enhance your images. And to enhance the expressiveness of video clips, users are offered super slow motion movie mode.

Combining creative flexibility with ease of use, the PowerShot N features a new Hybrid Auto mode that records 720p video for four seconds before each shot is taken, then uses Canon Smart Auto technology to select the optimal settings for the perfect shot.

At the end of the day, a single video file is created from four-second clips that tell the story of the day not captured in the frame – a great way to add context to an album posted online.

Capture and Share instantly on the Web

The PowerShot N is the perfect companion for your smartphone or tablet with its built-in Wi-Fi and one-touch connectivity via the mobile connect button. Users can upload images or videos to social media sites like Facebook® or YouTube™ within seconds of shooting, no matter where they are in the world.

And when they get home, they can wirelessly print their best shots or send them to a computer over a fast, reliable connection. A GPS-to-mobile feature using Canon’s free smartphone app can add location data from a GPS-enabled smartphone or tablet to an image, allowing users to tell their friends exactly where the pictures were taken.

Canon’s signature image quality

Despite its compact size, the PowerShot N boasts a host of Canon’s latest technologies for capturing great quality photos and videos. Combining a high-sensitivity 12.1Mpix CMOS sensor and an advanced DIGIC 5 image processor, the HS System on this camera offers ISO speeds up to 6400 for sharp, high-quality low-light performance.

A lens with a powerful 8x optical zoom is aided by Intelligent IS, which automatically applies the most appropriate image stabilization mode, ensuring smooth video recording and sharp photos. In addition to fine art photography, the camera also records Full HD 1080p video.
