Description — Canon PowerShot A3400 IS
The Canon PowerShot A3400 IS centers on a 16MP 1/2.3-inch sensor paired with a DIGIC 4 image processor, delivering the core imaging performance expected from a compact point-and-shoot. A 3.0-inch LCD touchscreen serves as the primary interface for framing shots and navigating settings, offering a more tactile experience than traditional button-only controls. Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) is built in to help minimize the impact of hand movement during shooting. The autofocus system uses contrast detection with a 9-point focus layout, providing reliable performance for everyday subjects.
Sensitivity is adjustable from ISO 100 to ISO 1600, and video can be recorded at 25fps. Storage is handled via SD and SDHC cards, and the camera connects to a computer via USB. The camera runs on a Lithium-Ion battery and carries no weather sealing, making it best suited for everyday, fair-weather use.
