Features & Controls
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.

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.
