And the A560 is equipped with a high-quality Canon 4x Optical Zoom Lens that brings you in close at the touch of a button.

Canon Technology Maximizes Quality and Performance
DIGIC III Image Processor with improved Face Detection Technology and Red-eye Correction for sharper images and improved functionality

With DIGIC III, you get images of superior quality, the camera functions at top efficiency and battery life is significantly enhanced. What's more, DIGIC III enables Canon's newly improved Face Detection Technology and Red-eye Correction to give you better, more true-to-life people shots. Simply press the Shutter Button halfway down, and the PowerShot A560 automatically pinpoints the faces in the scene and chooses the ideal focus point. To keep every face looking bright and natural - without scary red eyes - the camera controls exposure settings and flash, so every shot is just what you were shooting for.
