It cancels the traditional shutter button and zoom lever, and changes the previous shooting mode through the unique zoom ring and shutter ring design. Rotate the zoom ring to perform zoom operation freely; Press the shutter ring (top or bottom) to release the shutter easily. Such a simple and interesting operation brings users a unique shooting experience. Today, this camera came to the IT 168 evaluation room. Let's see what magic charm it can bring.

Overturning traditional design based on iPhone

The first thing to say is that the shape of N is really special, not only because of its small size, but because it is square as a camera. Canon official said that N's design was inspired by IOS's square APP. Not only that, its black and white color, few buttons and simple body actually inherited the design concept of iPhone.

▲ Square body design

Not only is it a square fuselage, n uses black and white colors. Does it look familiar? Yes, inspired by the minimalist design of the iPhone.

▲ Zoom ring and shutter ring

N's shutter is on the lens, which is convenient for direct shooting after zooming and full of creativity. But I'm afraid it will take some time to get used to this design. Perhaps innovation is always full of pain.

▲90? Folding screen

Canon PowerShot N is equipped with a 90? Folding touch screen, supporting touch shutter and touch focus, even if you are not used to shutter ring, it will not affect the shooting experience. But 90? It is not convenient to take selfies. Canon owes this consideration in design, but there are still solutions. We continue to look down.

▲ Self-timer solution

The solution to selfie is: just give a selfie mirror. A selfie mirror can help a beautiful woman compose a picture when taking a selfie. After editing the trial, it's probably no problem to take a picture anyway. At the same time, a fashionable shoulder strap was presented, which can not only prevent the camera from falling, but also be a lovely ornament. Most importantly, it's all free.

▲ Above the fuselage

Minimalist design is not just talk. There are no buttons on the top of the fuselage, only the Wi-Fi logo shows that it is a Wi-Fi camera, which will be introduced in detail later in the article.

▲ Right side of fuselage

The power switch is on the right side of the fuselage. In addition, there are no buttons on the right. N is it really necessary to have only one HOME button like the iPhone?

▲ Left side of fuselage

The function key is late. The first is the mode conversion key, which can choose automatic shooting or creative shooting; The button of mobile phone logo can transfer photos directly to smart devices without opening the phone, which is actually a Wi-Fi shortcut key.

▲ lens

N is equipped with a wide angle of 28mm, which has a wider field of vision and is suitable for taking photos in a narrow space. The compact body is equipped with 8 times optical zoom, combined with zoom enhancement function, even if the zoom magnification is about 16 times, it can take beautiful and detailed images.

▲ battery

N's battery capacity is 870 mAh, which is not enough to support the touch screen. Students who want to shoot for a long time may need to bring an extra battery.

Summary: The overall design of Canon PowerShot N is based on iPhone, square body, black and white color matching, simplified buttons and unique appearance. It cancels the shutter button, replaces it with a shutter ring, and combines it with a zoom ring, making shooting a freewheeling thing. Back 90? Folding the screen, the fly in the ointment is that it is not convenient to take selfies. In addition, the battery capacity is small, which is not suitable for long-term shooting.

Subvert your photography mode Canon N's creative photography mode.

Canon PowerShot N has no A file and no M file. It has only two shooting modes, namely automatic shooting mode and creative shooting mode. Automatic means that you can choose the filter freely, while creative shooting mode means that after you press the shutter, the camera will take three photos in a row, and then re-create the photos according to the algorithm in the machine (cutting and adding filters) to synthesize six photos with extraordinary artistic feeling! Its magical charm lies in that no matter what subject matter is taken, n can always turn an unremarkable photo into a creative one.

Creative photography mode allows people who don't know photography at all to take interesting photos, but for those who know photography, its magical power is beyond words, and you never know what kind of photos you can take! In fact, I think this camera is suitable for taking pictures at will, without thinking too much about composition. Let everyone re-recognize the significance of photography and add more fun to life. From the following video, we can appreciate the charm of N creative shooting mode.

If the video is not enough, the following is a sample shot in creative shooting mode. You can appreciate N's style and see what N can do with your photos first.

Secondly, PowerShot N rotates the original film by a certain angle to form a diagonal composition; Finally, a black and white filter was added to the photo. Compared with the original mess, creative shooting? The photos in the mode are simply masters. I have to admit that the creative shooting function of PowerShot N is really amazing ~

Enjoy sharing and transferring photos without turning on your phone.

Nowadays, many cameras have been equipped with wireless transmission function, that is, they can connect smart devices to transmit photos quickly. This is of great help to all the people in the Weibo era. But the characteristic of N is that even if it is turned off, you can share it quickly by clicking the icon button on the right side of the fuselage. Let's take a look at how n transmits photos when it is turned off.

Summary: For such a camera, the Wi-Fi transmission function is very important, although N can transmit photos when it is turned off, saving a lot of time. But our demanding point is, why can't n be designed as a smart camera? Equipped with Android system, it is easier to install the APP and share photos directly online. Considering its small size and small battery capacity, Bian Xiao felt that Canon still had a long way to go.
