Be Dazzled by Technology!

New Scene Modes such as Super Vivid for additional bursts of colour, and Poster Effect for a unique artistic look, which gives the shooter more creative freedom to capture images their way!
The Canon PowerShot A495 gives you even more creative freedom by including new modes made to get the kind of images people talk about. Super Vivid captures the colours you see with your mind's eye, saturating the scene with intense colours. Turn drab scenes into exciting compositions, when dull pinks blaze into brilliant fuchsia and off-yellows suddenly burn bright and hot. Even dark colours become richer with Super Vivid.
