The A3300 IS comes equipped with a 5x optical zoom lens with a 35mm equivalent of 28(W) - 140(T)mm. The lens will retract into the camera when powered down and a lens cover will close for its protection. Canon's Optical Image Stabilization (IS) allows the user to shoot handheld images at 2-3 stops lower than without, increasing the versatility of the camera. Canon also uses a TTL contrast detection autofocus system to focus on your subjects, even when they are not centered.

Focus Range:

Normal: 3cm (1.2 in.) - infinity (W); 90cm (3 ft.) - infinity (T)
Macro:  (W) 4.5cm (1.8 in.) - (T) 50cm (1.6ft.)


canon_A3300is_flash.jpgCanon's A3300 IS is packaged with a built-in flash offering a range of up to 13 ft. (W) or 6.6 ft. (T) using ISO Auto. Flash options include: Auto, Red-eye Reduction, Auto Red-eye Correction, Flash On, Flash Off; FE lock, Slow Synchro and Smart Flash modes.



canon_A3300is_top.jpgThe top of the A3300 IS is very simple. From left to right you can see the built-in speaker, power button, shutter release with the zoom toggle wrapped around it, and the mode dial. The mode dial allows you to quickly switch between Program, Live View Control, Auto, Easy, SCeNe, Fish-eye Effect, Discreet, and Standard Movie modes.



canon_A3300is_back.jpgCanon has installed a 3-inch color TFT LCD screen with approximately 230K dots on the A3300 IS. This screen makes it easy to frame and view your images, as well as navigate through the function and menu screens with ease.

Here are the controls on the back of the camera. First you will see the Face Selection and Playback buttons. Underneath these two buttons is the 4-way pad, that allows you to navigate through the menus, index mode (playback) and allows you to scroll when you are zoomed in on a captured image. While in record mode, it is also offers shortcut buttons for Exposure Compensation, Flash, Self Timer and Macro shooting settings. The FUNC./SET button in the center brings up the function menu in shooting mode and also selects all of your settings or options in the menus. On the bottom are the DISPlay and MENU buttons.

The A3300 IS only has one I/O port. This high speed USB 2.0 (mini-b Jack), not only allows you to connect the camera to a computer or printer, but it also allows you to play your images and movies on a TV thanks to included A/V cable.











canon_A3300is_memory.jpgThe A3300 IS accepts SD, SDHC, SDXC, MMC, MMC+, and HC MMC+ memory cards. We show the camera with a SanDisk Extreme, 30MB/s, 4GB SDHC memory card. Below you can see the storage capacity tables according to Canon's website.
