The PowerShot A3200 IS is equipped with a wide-angle 28 mm*1 5x optical zoom lens, the high-performance DIGIC 4 image processor and a 14.1-megapixel CCD image sensor. Like the SX230 HS, the camera lets users take advantage of the Smart Auto feature with newly added Advanced Subject Detection. Capable of identifying 32 shooting scenes, Smart Auto selects the best-suited settings to ensure optimal imaging performance. Live View Control allows the easy adjustment of various picture settings while framing a shot. Using a simple slide-bar tool displayed on the camera's 2.7-inch LCD monitor, users can adjust between light and dark, neutral and vivid, and cool and warm characteristics. Since changes to settings are immediately reflected in the image displayed on the LCD monitor, users can make adjustments without the need for specialized photographic knowledge. The model's movie function records HD 1,280 x 720 video at 30 fps and makes possible the shooting of Miniature Effect movies, which enhances perspective to create the appearance of a scene shot with miniature models. When shooting in locations where flash photography is restricted, a new Discreet mode disables the flash and all camera sounds, allowing users to capture photos without causing disturbance to those around them. The A3200 IS, Canon's first A-series model to employ aluminum in both the front and back covers, features a stylish body design and is available in three body colors: pink, blue and silver.
