The Canon Sure Shot Z180u 35mm camera has an unbelievably big 4.7x zoom range with a 38–180mm power zoom lens.

Whether capturing baby's first steps or the little league game, Canon's Sure Shot Z180u date point-and-shoot camera allows people to enjoy snapping exceptional photos from either close up or far away. The longest zoom of any Sure Shot camera, a 4.7x, 38-180mm lens resides inside an attractive yet compact aluminum alloy case that will be sure to turn heads. A new control configuration will also make taking great photos easy with improved functionality for photographers of any skill level.
Weighing in at less than eight ounces, the Sure Shot Z180u date camera offers some heavyweight photo features including a wide area 7-point/3-zone zoom-coupled autofocus system that adjusts automatically as the lens is zoomed to preserve off-center coverage even when the lens is at its wide-angle zoom setting. In short, this "Smart" autofocus system knows how to keep the subject in focus even when the subject is not in the center of the frame.

Simply Advanced
An enlarged LCD panel located on the back of the camera is the command center for the features on the Sure Shot Z180u date, including six Programmed Image Control (PIC) modes for total control in almost any shooting condition. The PIC modes automatically set the camera's autofocus, exposure metering and film advance for optimum results based on which of the six settings the user selects. Examples of PIC's intelligent innovations are the Portrait mode that automatically zooms the camera to maintain head-and-shoulders composition as the lens focuses on the subjects and the Action mode, which engages a continuous servo autofocus that follows moving subjects. The remaining PIC settings are landscape, close-up and night scene modes, Real Time Release (RT).

Genuine Canon Optics
The Sure Shot Z180u date camera's built-in 38-180mm optical zoom lens carries on the Canon tradition of optical excellence, with more than 50 years of lens making experience and expertise. This nine-element zoom —- constructed using high quality Canon glass —- is designed with two aspherical elements for low distortion, excellent optical quality, color, and clarity, and compact size.

Among the Sure Shot Z180u date camera's other advanced capabilities are the Light Guide Flash that automatically fires in low light and backlit conditions to ensure proper exposure under virtually any shooting condition. The Light Guide Flash also provides even illumination throughout the camera's zoom range and can be set to AUTO (with and without red-eye reduction), Flash ON, Flash OFF and Slow-Sync for combining flash photography with natural light. The camera also employs a CMOS light-metering sensor with automatic backlight detection capability and even offers users the option of manually setting their own exposure compensation plus or minus 1.5 stops.

For additional flexibility, the Sure Shot Z180u date compact 35mm camera also offers users a menu of five custom functions that suit their individual preferences, habits and style of shooting. This custom menu features settings for real time shutter release; to save flash modes when the flash is turned off; to cancel the automatic rewind at the end of a roll of film; to limit the autofocus to the center point only; and finally, continuous one frame per second shooting. Flexibility is further improved by providing compatibility with the optional RC-5 wireless remote control unit.
