Camera Overview — Canon A4000 IS

The Canon A4000 IS is a straightforward point-and-shoot camera built around a 16.0MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor, making it a practical choice for casual everyday photography. It captures stills at a maximum resolution of 4608x3456 pixels and shoots video at up to 720p at 30fps, covering the essentials for both photos and basic video recording. Autofocus is handled by a contrast detection system with 9 focus points, providing reliable subject acquisition in typical shooting conditions.

Optical image stabilization (OIS) helps reduce blur from camera shake, which is particularly useful in lower-light environments or at longer focal lengths. The camera features a 3.0-inch LCD display with 230,000 dots of resolution for composing shots and reviewing images — note there is no viewfinder, so the LCD is the sole framing tool. Storage is handled via SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards, giving broad compatibility with commonly available media.

The body is constructed from plastic, measures 95.3 x 56.3 x 24.3 mm, and weighs just 145g, making it genuinely pocketable. A built-in flash is included for low-light situations. The NB-11L rechargeable lithium-ion battery is rated for approximately 175 shots per charge.

ISO sensitivity runs from 100 to 1600. There is no Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or weather sealing on this model.
