1-3 Design Concept

-The PowerShot A300 design concept: Slim, clean, simple, easy and high quality

- Although the basic design is similar to that of the PowerShot A200/A100, the layout of the but-

tons, functional markings and operability of each component have been fine-tuned to make this
an entry-class digital camera that anyone can use easily.

-The exterior has been given a more refined and distinguished look by changing to a sliding-style

lens cover.
