Camera Overview — Canon 310 HS

The Canon 310 HS is a compact point-and-shoot camera built around a 12.1MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor paired with a DIGIC 4 image processor. It captures stills at a maximum resolution of 4000x3000 pixels and records Full HD video at up to 1080p, with frame rate options of 24fps and 30fps. Video color profiles include Standard and Vivid, and footage is recorded in 8-bit color depth.

For stills, photographers can choose from Standard, Vivid, and Neutral color profiles to match their creative preferences. The autofocus system uses contrast detection with 9 focus points, though subject tracking and eye tracking are not available. ISO sensitivity runs from 100 to 3200, giving the camera a reasonable range for varying light conditions.

Image stabilization is handled optically (OIS), with digital IS also available as a supplementary option. The camera weighs just 140g and measures 95.8 x 56.8 x 22.1mm, making it genuinely pocketable. The 3.0-inch LCD display offers 460k dot resolution.

Storage is handled via SD, SDHC, or SDXC cards, and connectivity includes Mini HDMI output and USB. The built-in flash adds low-light versatility, and the NB-4L rechargeable lithium-ion battery is rated for approximately 230 shots per charge. There is no viewfinder, WiFi, or Bluetooth.
