Canon introduces the new PowerShot N100 Digital Compact Camera that features new dual-lens design, Story Highlights mode and control flexibility in a stylish and compact body, unlocking a new playful world of creative freestyle shooting and image review that tells a story! PowerShot N100 can create picture in picture images¹ with the front and rear lenses, enabling the photographer's face and expressions to be captured simultaneously to record the whole picture and pleasant atmosphere of a party or gathering. A new Wi-Fi Remote Shooting function² via smart devices is added to realize more freedom and creativity in shooting angles. Coupled with an advanced Hybrid Auto mode, users can thoroughly record all the natural expressions and feelings at the moment of shooting with photos and picture in picture behind-the-scene movies. In addition, PowerShot N100 features a new Story Highlights mode that generates a story movie³ by automatically selecting photos that are precious to the photographer with a press of the button, making sharing and review more fun and enjoyable. A built-in Wi-Fi Wireless Transfer function⁴, together with a newly added NFC⁵ for direct connection to Android devices, makes transferring high quality images and movies to smart devices and uploading to social networking sites quick and simple, allowing easy and instant sharing of everyday moments and stories.

New Dual-Lens Design for Picture in Picture Images to record all the memorable moments
PowerShot N100 is built with front and rear lenses that support dual capture of photos and movies. The rear camera¹ can capture the photographer's face and expressions at the time of shooting to create picture in picture images that capture the happy faces and feelings of both the subject and photographer, resulting in fabulous images that tell a story. For example, photos that simultaneously capture a baby's first steps and the parent's joyful reactions can be realized for a more special keepsake of the precious memories. Picture in picture images also open up more fun and creative shooting possibilities as more interaction can be expected between the subject and photographer and a view from the subject's perspective can be recorded. For added flexibility, the rear camera window offers 3 sizes and 4 positions for selection during dual capture mode.

The camera's front lens is a f/1.8 large aperture 24mm ultra wide-angle 5x optical zoom lens that provides excellent low-light shooting capability and wide shooting range of both distant and close-up subjects with rich details. The rear camera features a 25mm wide-angle lens to offer a wide coverage of the photographer and the environment, realizing an intuitive framing effortlessly. In addition, an advanced Hybrid Auto mode, a fusion of movie digest⁶, auto modes and picture in picture function¹, can be activated during dual capture mode to help users capture all the amazing moments of a party or gathering. With the advanced Hybrid Auto mode, up to 4 seconds prior to every shutter press to capture an image and 2 seconds after shooting will be recorded automatically as HD movie by the front camera and rear camera respectively. This allows easy capture of the natural feelings and funny expressions of the photographer after the shutter is released, helping users record all the happy moments thoroughly.

New Story Highlights Mode for easy and fun review of everyday precious moments
PowerShot N100 features a new Story Highlights mode³ for instant creation of story movie with a press of the button located on the back, allowing easy playback and sharing of everyday moments as stories. Users can choose from Event, Shooting Date, People and Custom as the photo selection criteria to create interesting movies with a great story sense for a range of occasions such as a travel trip, birthday party or growth journey of a child. By intelligently analyzing information, the camera will automatically select brilliant photos that are considered as precious for the movie. Without all the hassles to select a good shot from numerous photos manually, this mode can help create memorable movies easily and directly, allowing users to share and review everyday precious moments in a more enjoyable way.

New Wi-Fi Remote Shooting function via Smart Devices to realize more creative shooting angles
PowerShot N100 features a new Wi-Fi Remote Shooting function² via smart devices, allowing users to realize more creative shooting angles.

The monitor can be tilted up to a maximum of 90° to facilitate easy ground level shots from a low angle, making possible the capture of cute faces close to a child's eye level. Coupled with the rear lens built on the LCD monitor, users can explore more creative imaging possibilities with more versatile perspective and distinctive shooting angles.

New NFC Connection and Wi-Fi Wireless Transfer function for easy one-touch sharing of creative images
PowerShot N100 features a built-in Wi-Fi Wireless Transfer function⁴ for easy and instant image sharing, printing and backup. A new Mobile Device Connect button provides added convenience by simplifying wireless sharing process with a one-touch connection to the pre-set smart phones.

Images can also be sent wirelessly to smart phones and tablets for easier viewing, or to other Canon digital cameras⁷ for easy sharing or backup without any cable connection needed. In addition, the camera newly supports NFC (Near Field Communication) for direct connection and image transfer to Android smart phones or tablets⁵.

HS SYSTEM for excellent low-light shooting to create the perfect images
Inheriting the high quality camera specifications of PowerShot series, PowerShot N100 features HS SYSTEM technology and f/1.8 large aperture lens to realize outstanding and fine images even under dim environment. The HS SYSTEM integrates a DIGIC 6 digital image processor's ultra-fast data processing speed and a 1/1.7" type 12.1-megapixel high sensitivity CMOS image sensor's light-gathering capability to dramatically improve the signal-to-noise ratio. This is especially useful for handheld shooting with high ISO settings at low-light situation, allowing users to enjoy the camera's flexibility and versatility in shooting angles to their fullest and capture sharp and gorgeous images that are rich in details.

Full HD Movie Shooting with Dynamic IS and Powered IS

It can automatically detect shooting distance, lighting condition, color temperature and moving subjects etc, and adjust to the best possible camera settings among the shooting scenes to capture the scene easily. By adjusting a subject's focus and exposure, white balance, ISO speed and dynamic range, natural and sharp images can be ensured even when shooting in different situations across a range of lighting conditions.
