    Effortless results, affordable style

    12.1 Megapixels
    A 12.1 Megapixel sensor lets you produce stunning prints in sizes up to A2, or crop images to perfection without losing the detail necessary for larger prints.

    4x optical zoom lens
    The 4x optical zoom lens is designed and manufactured by Canon to the high standards found throughout the Canon photographic range. An optical Image Stabilizer (IS) keeps images sharp by reducing the blur caused by camera shake.

    6.7cm (2.7") LCD
    Comfortably frame, review and share your shots on a large, high-resolution 6.7cm (2.7") LCD screen.

    Effortless shooting
    Smart Auto mode uses intelligent Scene Detection Technology to evaluate the brightness, contrast, distance, required flash exposure and overall hue of a subject – then selects optimum settings. Easy mode disables all but the essential controls, and reduces on-screen icons for total ease-of-use.

    Easier operation
    A Hints & Tips mode offers on-screen explanations of key features during shooting, playback and menu navigation.

    Motion Detection Technology
    Canon’s blur-beating Motion Detection Technology ascertains movement of both camera and subject. The optimal ISO level is then automatically set, to minimise blur and maximise image quality.

    Face Detection Technology
    A suite of Face Detection technologies detects multiple faces in a scene and adjusts focus, exposure, flash settings & white balance – for optimal results with natural-looking skin tones. FaceSelf-Timer makes group photos easy, taking a shot after an extra face enters the frame. Auto Red-Eye Correction identifies and removes the red-eye effect caused by flash.

    18 shooting modes
    A range of 18 shooting modes includes Super Vivid, which adds vibrant colours to your photos; Poster Effect, which creatively reduces the number of colours for a retro, poster-like effect; and Low Light, for darker conditions.

    Slim & colourful
    The PowerShot A3100 IS features a slim and stylish body with metal front shell and striking finish in three colour variations.

    DIGIC III
    As well as powering intelligent technologies such as Smart Auto, Canon’s DIGIC III processor ensures fast response times, superb image quality, advanced noise reduction & accurate colour reproduction.

    Rechargeable power
    Slim, light and powerful, a Canon Lithium-ion battery pack and charger are included.

    VGA movies
    Supplement your still images with fun 30fps VGA movie clips with sound. A Long Play mode lets you store twice as much footage on the camera’s memory card.
