The Story Begins With You
Fun and innovative - just like you - the new PowerShot N100 brings your stories to life. It starts with Dual Capture using a rear-facing wide-angle "Story Camera." While the main camera shoots the subject, the secondary camera is shooting you, the photographer - easily capture everything from a parent's pride to priceless double takes. When the images come together, the moment in time you've captured gets a whole new spin. And try Story Highlights: a ready-to-share short reel intelligently generated right on the camera from your stills and video(1). Share your stories with the world right away: built-in Wi-Fi lets you transfer images and video* directly to select social networking sites, mobile devices** and your computer. You can even shoot from a distance, controlling the camera with your smartphone or tablet*, and simply touch to a compatible Android device*** using built-in NFC (Near Field Communication) for easy wireless connectivity. The genuine Canon f/1.8 lens ensures clear, bright, luminous shots, while DIGIC 6 Image Processor drives the Canon HS SYSTEM for image quality - even in low light - that no smartphone can begin to match.
Features:
Dual Capture
A special moment is more than a simple photo or a video - it's the story behind the moment that gives the memory meaning. So capture it with the innovative PowerShot N100 and its rear-facing "Story Camera." The PowerShot N100 uses the secondary camera to turn your photos or video into a compelling story with behind-the-scenes input. In Dual Capture mode, the main camera shoots the subject while the photographer's expression is captured with a wide-angle 25mm lens sub-camera to preserve the moment with an entirely new feel. It's perfect for capturing everything from a parent's pride to a priceless double take. The images are combined in a single file for a fun picture-in-picture effect in both photos and video, and with three sizes and four positions available for the sub-shot, there is plenty of flexibility for creating the perfect story for the moment.
Story Highlights
View your still images and video (1) as a fun short story with the Story Highlights feature on the new PowerShot N100 camera. You can choose to have the camera create one automatically, creating a short video of approximately two minutes according to date, event or people, or you can customize your Story Highlights reel for a fun, unique video of up to five minutes. It's all done in camera, without the need for any additional software. Easily access and enjoy your Story Highlights - simply press the Story Highlights button to start creating your highlight album. The Story Highlights album can be saved to the camera for quick replay and also shared with the PowerShot N100's built-in Wi-Fi.
Built-in Wi-Fi makes sharing quick and easy

Your device will show a live image of the camera's capture - perfect for a commemorative group photo, wildlife shots and all kinds of situations.
