It's a camera that let's you do more, more easily.
- Features
Capture Tiny Details, Print Big Pictures. Feature-packed compact digital camera with 7.1 Megapixel resolution and high-quality Canon 4x Optical Zoom lens for freedom at your fingertips
The PowerShot A560 gives you the freedom to shoot high resolutions images you can enlarge, crop and print -- big. With its 7.1 Mexapixel CCD, the camera records every detail - like a baby's delicate curls -- in razor-sharp, astonishingly clear, natural color that will make every picture something to cherish. And the A560 is equipped with a high-quality Canon 4x Optical Zoom Lens that brings you in close at the touch of a button. So you can capture special moments like a child's first homerun with clarity and brilliance -- even if you're sitting in the bleachers.
Canon Technology Maximizes Quality and Performance. DIGIC III Image Processor with improved Face Detection Technology and Red-eye Correction for sharper images and improved functionality
With DIGIC III, you get images of superior quality, the camera functions at top efficiency and battery life is significantly enhanced. What's more, DIGIC III enables Canon's newly improved Face Detection Technology and Red-eye Correction to give you better, more true-to-life people shots. Simply press the Shutter Button halfway down, and the PowerShot A560 automatically pinpoints the faces in the scene and chooses the ideal focus point. To keep every face looking bright and natural - without scary red eyes - the camera controls exposure settings and flash, so every shot is just what you were shooting for.
DIGIC III features Face Detection AF/AE, which finds multiple faces in the frame and sets the most suitable focus point, when the shutter button is pressed halfway. And an additional new feature, Face Detection FE adjusts the flash, based on a person's face on the screen. Exposure and flash are controlled to ensure proper illumination of both the faces and the overall scene, eliminating the common problem of darkened or overexposed faces.
Red-Eye Correction detects and automatically corrects red-eye during playback for both regular and flash photography. In unusual cases where red-eye is not automatically detected, it can easily be corrected manually during playback mode from the LCD screen.
iSAPS Technology is an entirely original scene-recognition technology developed for digital cameras by Canon. Using an internal database of thousands of different photos, iSAPS works with the fast DIGIC III Image Processor to improve focus speed and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance.
See the Image in the LCD Clearly. Clear, high-resolution 2.5-inch LCD for easy on-camera viewing
The camera's 2.5-inch LCD screen gives you the big picture, whether you're shooting, reviewing or showing off your images. This high-resolution screen offers a crisp, clear picture to make shooting, playback and using the camera's menu functions especially convenient. Clear and bright, it also features Night Display for easy viewing in low light.
Canon Innovation Enhances Your Experience. ISO 1600 and High ISO Auto to reduce image blur and expand low-light shooting capability
The PowerShot A560 features new ISO 1600 and High ISO Auto settings that reduce the effects of camera shake and sharpen subjects in low-light situations, giving you greater flexibility for shooting.
With 14 Shooting Modes including 6 Special Scene Modes, you're ready for whatever shot comes your way.

- Auto: The camera chooses all the settings so you can concentrate on your subject.
- Manual: The ultimate in creative control, you set ISO speed, exposure compensation and white balance.

- Night Snapshot: Get natural-looking pictures with brighter backgrounds and subjects lit by flash.
- Indoor: Reduce blur and improve color accuracy when shooting handheld indoors.

- Foliage: Capture brilliant shots of autumn foliage, greenery and blossoms.
- Snow: Shoot clear snow scenes without darkened subjects or an unnatural bluish tint.

Select from VGA (640 x 480 pixels) and QVGA (320 x 240 pixels), with frame rates of 30 fps and 15 fps for recording up to 1 hour or 4GB.
