styles, delivering creative new perspectives automatically while still
maintaining the original image.

low-angle shots can be easily captured. The PowerShot N features Smart
Shutter, enabling users to start tracking a subject simply by pressing
the intuitive touch panel LCD, and then capture the image by lifting
their finger off the screen. For added flexibility, the image on the
screen rotates with the camera - so people can capture even the most
unique shot.
Sleek, Small and Designed for Portability

2.37 x 1.15 inches, making it ideal for quick on-the-go shooting. This

top-mounted hinge keeps the PowerShot N compact for convenient
on-the-go shooting and easy, one handed operation.
The camera's 28mm wide-angle 8x optical zoom lens and shutter are
both operated on the camera's dual-ring lens. The outer ring controls
the shutter, which can be released from any point on the ring, and the
inner ring controls the zoom, so managing the PowerShot N is easy and
effortless. With these innovative new design features, users now have
the ability to shoot diagonally, horizontally and from low or high
angles so even the most out-of-reach image can be captured with ease.
In addition, the PowerShot N offers a new ECO Mode, a feature that
provides approximately 30 percent longer battery life when enabled, by
dimming the screen and eventually shutting off the display after the
device has been idle for 10 seconds, allowing users to shoot more and
for longer. Adding to its portability and convenience, the camera
features USB charging through a computer or traditional charging by the
AC adaptor, allowing users to power-up from virtually anywhere.
