  • General
    • Product Name: PowerShot SX400 IS 16.0-Megapixel Digital Camera
    • Brand: Canon
    • Model Number: 9769B001
    • Color: Red
    • Color Category: Red
    • Digital Camera Type: Point and Shoot Cameras
  • 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): 4608 x 3456 (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.)
    • Digital Zoom: 4x (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
    • Low Light/High Sensitivity: true (High sensitivity digital imaging devices are designed to work in low light conditions to produce a high dynamic range image.)
    • Image File Format(s): JPEG, Other (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 - 1/1600 sec.; 15 - 1 sec. (shooting 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.)
    • Burst Mode: true (Also referred to as continuous shooting. This feature captures multiple shots in rapid succession.)
    • Self Timer: true
    • Shooting Modes: P, live view control, auto, portrait, face self timer, low light, snow, fireworks and 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.)
    • Panorama Mode: false
    • White Balance Modes: Auto, daylight, cloudy, tungsten, fluorescent, fluorescent H, custom (Settings that calibrates how the color white is rendered in an image/video, reducing the appearance of unnatural contrasts caused by various light sources.)
  • Flash
    • Integrated Flash: true
  • Display
    • Display Type: LCD
    • Screen Size: 3 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.)
  • Compatibility
    • Memory Card Compatibility: Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC), Secure Digital Extended Capacity (SDXC), Secure Digital (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.)
    • Integrated GPS: No
  • Connectivity
    • Output(s): NTSC, PAL
    • 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.)
  • Included
    • Camera Bag/Case Included: false
    • Batteries Included: true (Indicates whether the product comes with the required batteries for its operation.)
    • Memory Card Included: false (Indicates whether a memory card is included.)
  • Dimension
    • Product Height: 2.7 inches (The out of box height of the item. Height is measured as the vertical distance from the bottom of the item to the top as it would be primarily used or placed.)
    • Product Width: 4.1 inches (The out of box width of the item. Width is measured as the horizontal distance from one side of the item to the other as it would be primarily used or placed.)
    • Product Depth: 3.1 inches (The out of box depth of the item. Depth is measured as the distance from the front of the item to the back as it would be primarily used or placed.)

Q: How do i get the picures onto my computer?

A: you have to have the memory card and your pc has to have a card reader. i was expecting mine to come with the cables to connect and it didn't. :(

Q: About what type of battery

A: A battery pack is included and the charger. But not a USB cable for picture transfer.

Q: I want to get a camera because I am really into photography, and all that I have right now is an IPod. Is this a good starting camera?

A: I love this camera and I think it is perfect for starting to get into photography, although it does have a few minor downfalls. I have had mine for almost a year and I am ready to move onto something bigger. This one will do your basic zoom and shoot but doesn't offer the newer background blur. Also when shooting videos it is wise to zoom in slowly as it takes a while, with video, for it to focus if you zoom to fast.

Q: Does this take good action shots??

A: Yes this camera takes very good action shots. I have gotten some very good up close pictures with this camera thanks :)!

Q: How long can you record in HD Movie mode?

A: That is entirely dependent on the size of your SD card. You can get over 4 hours on a 32 GB card

Q: Does this camera take good action shots?

A: Not at all. I tried taking pictures of my kids playing and they were all blurry.
