Processing
Canon Powershot N has metal body and
especially unusual design. First, it has a square screen which is in contrast
to the rectangle design which is typical to the travel camera. The rear of the
camera rotates 90o and has a 2.8-inch touch screen, which means
there’s not too may buttons. Sitting on the camera edge is the power button and
on the other edge is the button for Creative Shot mode, mobile device
connecting and playback buttons.
There’re 2 rings on the front of the
camera, the front ring can be pressed up or down to open the shutter. The inner
ring is used to adjust the magnification. You can use the camera rotating back
by zoom and the shutter has dual-direction ability. It’s different, and takes a
little while to get familiar to. You can also use the touch screen to set up
focus and shutter release. The LED is not exceptionally large and powerful as
it stays on the same position with the focus assisting lamp.
To use Wi-Fi you need to press the
mobile-device connecting button sitting on the edge of the camera. Then you
need to use the portable device to connect the camera, first by accessing its Wi-Fi
network, opening the Canon app. Canon app is easy to use for downloading images
and videos from the camera.

according to the testing result of CIPA, pretty low, especially when you want
to use Wi-Fi continuously. We take many night shots to check the responsiveness
of the camera, from the first shot, one by one, focusing speed, etc. we take
some of the shots and take the average to make sure that the test is precise
and consistent, making it easy to compare with other cameras.
