With an eye-catching, durable metal body, the A70 has advanced looks to match its advanced capabilities. Yet shooting is so easy, it's fun for anyone. Cross-configured buttons put all the camera's operations at your fingertips. Switch between shooting and replay with a touch. Access various shooting controls instantly with a new function button. You can even choose the image you see at start-up and the sounds the camera makes for common operations. Getting the perfect shot has never been so easy! Simply choose Landscape, Night Scene, Portrait, Fast Shutter, Slow Shutter or Stitch Assist mode. When you're ready, Creative Zone modes give you manual control over aperture and shutter speed. Photo Effects make it easy to get creative with Vivid Color, Neutral Color, Low Sharpening, Sepia, and Black & White options. In Macro, you'll capture fabulous images as close as 2 inches. A fun Movie mode lets you film 3-minute movie clips with sound, with VCR-like playback and on-camera editing.

Printing your images is easy too. Simply connect your camera to a compatible Canon direct photo printer with the cable, select an image on the LCD screen and print; no computer necessary. Card Photo Printers and Bubble Jet Direct Photo Printers deliver a variety of high-quality prints and fun creative options. And if using your Windows XP or Mac OS X computer to print, PTP support will let you transfer images to your computer without any additional driver.
