Picture the possibilities of the impressive PowerShot A580. The 8.0 megapixel design lets you create images of breath-taking detail and radiant color that you can print, enlarge, crop or email to friends and family. The Canon 4x optical zoom gives you the power you need to get in close and capture special moments, whether they're happening across the screet or across the schoolyard. The PowerShot A580's 2.5" LCD screen gives you the big picture, whether you're shooting, reviewing, or showing off your images. This high-resolution screen offers a crisp, clear and bright picture. It also features Night Display for easy viewing in low light.
No worries, just great pictures
Even if you've never picked up a camera before, with Canon's new Easy Mode you can take inspiring, dramatic pictures that will impress everyone. Once you choose Easy Mode, the PowerShot A580 handles all the details automatically. It automatically sets every camera control including the flash to reduce blur and improve image quality. So you get the pictures that are bright, clear and natural just by pushing a button. Best of all, you can relax and concentrate on your subject.
It's all about capturing the smiles
Canon's powerful Face Detection technology delivers even better results with the A580. The technology continues to recognize faces in a scene, and concentrate exposure (daylight or flash) and focus upon them. But the A580 adds more: Face Detection WB means the camera concentrates on faces when calculating white balance for the best possible skin tones. Face Select and Track lets the PowerShot A580 user highlight one face among several in a scene, and the camera concentrates on that person, even as they move around the scene. Face Detection technology is a powerful contributing factor in Canon's new Motion Detection technology.
DIGIC III image processor
With DIGIC III, your images boast superior quality, the camera operates at top efficiency and battery life is enhanced. What's more, DIGIC III enables Canon's Face Detection technology and red-eye correction to give you better, more true-to-life people shots. Simply press the shutter button halfway down, and the camera automatically pinpoints the faces in the scene and chooses the ideal focus point. The A580 controls exposure settings and flash to keep every face looking bright and natural. Red-eye correction can be handled in-camera, in two ways. The entirely new red-eye correction during shooting uses the Face Detection technology to recognize and remove red-eye during image playback, using simple settings in the A580's menu.
Dramatically reduce blur
Life doesn't stand still for picture-taking. That's why Canon included its advanced Motion Detection technology in the PowerShot A580. This sophisticated feature works in the background to instantly evaluate how fast your subject is moving. Then it automatically selects and sets the optimal exposure and ISO settings to keep everything looking sharp and clear. So whether you're shooting a bride walking down the aisle, a ballet recital or even a child's soccer game, you can relax and shoot with confidence knowing you've got the picture you intended.
A mode for every mood
The PowerShot A580 features ISO 1600 and High ISO Auto settings that reduce the effects of camera shake and sharpen subjects in low-light situations, giving you greater shooting flexibility. With 16 shooting modes including 7 special scene modes, you're ready for whatever shot comes you way. Movie mode lets you shoot in VGA (640 x 480 at 20 fps/20 fps LP), QVGA (320 x 240 at 30 fps) for up to 1 hour or 4 GB, or QQVGA (160 x 120 at 15 fps) for up to 3 minutes. Special scene modes include foliage, snow, beach, sunset, fireworks, aquarium, and night scene. Conveniently, you don't need to worry about running out or recharging of batteries. Since AA-size batteries can be purchased at any store, simply get new ones locally.

The PowerShot A580's Print/Share buttton makes direct printing easier than ever. Simply connect the A580 to a Canon PIXMA photo printer or SELPHY compact photo printer or any PictBridge compatible photo printer, press the lighted Print/Share button and print.
