- Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: CCD (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
- Image Resolution (Display): 5152 x 3864 (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to either capture an image or display it. The higher the resolution the finer the image details.)
- Zoom Capability: true (This function allows for magnification of the subject.)
- Image File Format(s): JPEG, MPEG-4 (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
- Focus
- Autofocus: true (Allows the camera to automatically focus through the lens, rather than by adjusting the lens manually.)
- Exposure Control
- Shutter Speeds: 1 - 1/2000 sec.; 15 - 1 sec. (long exposures) (The length of time the shutter remains open when the shutter release is activated, expressed in fractions of seconds. The longer the shutter is open, the more light that is able to be captured by the camera sensor.)
- Self Timer: true
- Shooting Modes: P, live view control, auto, digital IS, portrait, face self-timer, low light, snow, fireworks, long shutter (Exposure modes employed by the photographer to control the optimal aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and other settings for capturing specific subjects/scenes. Examples include Aperture-Priority, Macro, and Manual modes.)
- Flash
- Flash Modes: Automatic, Off, Slow sync (The flash feature emits light to increase the brightness of a subject in dimly lit environments. Common modes include Auto and Red-Eye Reduction.)
- Integrated Flash: true
- Display
- Display Type: LCD
- Screen Size: 2.7 inches (Size of the screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner.)
- Touch Screen: false (Touch-screen devices make navigating more intuitive. Using a touch-screen display, you can do things such as tap to select, hold and drag to move items, swipe to scroll, and pinch to zoom.)
- Storage
- Number of Memory Card Slots: 1
- Compatibility
- Tripod/Monopod Mountable: false (A support function that allows the device to be mounted to monopods and tripods for leveling and stability.)
- Memory Card Compatibility: Secure Digital, Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC), Secure Digital Extended Capacity (SDXC) (The type of memory card(s) recommended for use with the product.)
- Features
- Face Detection: true (A function that automatically detects human faces and then sets focus and appropriate exposure to capture them.)
- Smile Mode: false (When enabled, this mode works in conjunction with face detection to automatically take a photo when a smile is detected.)
- Integrated GPS: No
- Records Audio: true
- Connectivity
- Output(s): USB
- PictBridge Enabled: true (PictBridge allows digital cameras, camcorders and other image capture devices to connect and print directly to photo printers and other output devices without using a computer.)

Q: Are you able to zoom in and out while you are in video camera mode ???
A: Yes, you may zoom in and out while on video mode
Q: Can you transfer pictures from camera to computer wireless
A: No this camera doesn't have that feature. You will need to take the SD card out of the camera and put it into the SD slot of your computer to transfer pictures or videos.
Q: Can I purchase a USB cord for this camera?
A: Yes from amazon or Best buy called ( Canon PowerShot ELPH 150 IS Digital Camera USB Cable 3' USB 2.0 A To Mini B )
Q: What accessories are needed?
A: I use SanDisk for the memory card and I've had no issues. I also use the USB 2.0 cable without issues as well. Hope that helps.
Q: Does this camera have a flash ? How are the pictures taken in dark ?
A: The flash can be set for auto, manual or turned off if needed. With the flash, depending on distance and background, the picture is good.
Q: Can you take still pictures in middle of a video?
A: Yes just push the photo button when you want and take a many as you like.
A: It can depend on the lighting. I prefer to take pictures without the flash, but you need a steady hand or a tri-pod. The pictures always come out better. If the image isn't clear and/or if it's too grainy after about 3 shots, then I'll turn on the flash. But most of the time the photos come out clear due to the high resolution.
Q: Does it come with a memory card?
A: no it does not.
