With a 42.9mm wide-angle lens, the SD40 is fantastic for recording indoors or in tight spaces. It makes it possible to shoot your subject at a close distance and still fit the surrounding area into the frame. It also means the voice of the subject can be clearly recorded, which is an important element in video recordings. Meanwhile, the Optical Zoom 16.8x ensures magnificent images because there is no degradation in image quality.

Let iA (Intelligent Auto) do all the hard work

The iA (Intelligent Auto) mode features the special Face Recognition function that recognises the faces of previously registered subjects and automatically optimises the focus and exposure for those people. iA even continues to track the subjects as they move anywhere within the LCD frame, making it ideal for video shooting.
