The Canon A1100 IS incorporates two fully automatic modes: new Smart Auto mode and an improved Easy mode.

Also featured are Motion Detection and Face Detection Technology, both of which offer improved performance thanks to DIGIC 4 processing.

Canon’s i-Contrast allows users to bring out hidden detail - for example, in areas of shadow - by brightening dark areas in an image without blowing out lighter areas.
