1 Development Background 1-1 Development Objectives Beginning with the ultra compact 2-megapixel 3x zoom IXY DIGITAL 300 introduced in Spring 2001, followed in succession by the PowerShot A20/A10 and IXY DIGITAL 200, all four models adopted primary color filters and the new image engine which provides exceptional color reproduction, and have received high acclaim for their image quality.
High Image Quality - Primary color filters and signal processing algorithms to get the most of these features - High-resolution, 1/2.7-type approx. 2 megapixel CCD (PS A40) and approx. 1.2 megapixel CCD (PS A30) - High-resolution retractable 3X zoom lens R - New image capturing optics brings out high resolution (PS A40).
Saving Design - Power-saving and space-saving, small-package new digital signal processing IC and CPU - Low-temperature, polysilicon 1.5-inch LCD monitor with power-saving backlight - Space-saving, new four-blade lens cover built-in - High-performance red-eye reduction with power-saving LED - Power-saving design enabls approx.

2 Features 2-1 High Image Quality zNew image capturing optics brings out high resolution (PS A40) The PowerShot A40 uses the same CCD as the PowerShot A20, but with its characteristics improved by partial modification of the image capturing optics, resulting in better resolution than the PowerShot A20.
2-2 Full Features / Operation ease z Color Effect Modes (Vivid color, Neutral color, Soft, Sepia and Black & White) are provided The PowerShot A40/A30 includes the same color modes as the PowerShot G2 and PowerShot S40/S30, plus an additional Soft mode, providing five modes available for selection.
z AF Frame (3-point) auto selection (AiAF) and center single-point selection (AF) The PowerShot A40/A30 incorporates both the 3-point AiAF method in which the camera automatically determines the proper AF frame from three measurement points, and the standard AF method that uses a single center point, so the user can select the best method depending on photographic conditions.
z Enabling for manual settings (aperture value and shutter speed) The PowerShot A40/A30 provides the capability for manual exposure settings, in which the user selects the shutter speed and iris value (2 levels) as desired, so the user can completely override the camera’s automatic controls.
2-3 Accessories and Software z Tele conversion lens for taking 252 mm (35 mm film format equivalent) tele-photo angle shots (With bayonet type new conversion lens adapter.) The zoom lens in the PowerShot A40/A30 performs as the equivalent of a 35- to105-mm lens in a 35-mm film camera, but the TC-DC52 teleconversion lens has been developed to extend support for longer distance photography. The TC-DC52 expands the lens focal distance by about 2.
ZoomBrowser EX 3.2 (Win) and ImageBrowser 2.2 (Mac) enhanced convenience The following functions are used with the PowerShot A40/A30. { Image Uploading PowerShot A40/A30 users can store their own images on the CIG website. yImages can be edited as a web album. yImages can be published for users and their friends. yPrints can be ordered from the print service. Images are easily uploaded to CIG using ZoomBrowser EX/ImageBrowser. yUsers can register simply using ZB/IB.
PhotoRecord 1.4 (Win) and ImageBrowser 2.2 (Mac) support for CP-10 To answer the call to print from a PC to the CP-10 with image size matched to the CP-10 standard and label paper, this capability has been added to the previous versions: PhotoRecord 1.4 (Win) and ImageBrowser 2.1 (Mac). Printing performance has also been improved.
