Available on all three models is an Auto Zoom function which helps keep your subject in the frame by automatically detecting the number of people and adjusting the zoom level to determine the optimal size.

Full HD video recording, along with integrated Wi-Fi and Dynamic NFC, is also included in these models.

Also announced today is the new PowerShot N2, which features a square design with zoom and shoot lens rings, designed to help you take pictures from a variety of different angles. It's also equipped with a new touchscreen that tilts up 180 degrees, activating the dedicated selfie mode.

An enhanced Creative Shot mode is also available to give your photos an array of different creative treatments.
