The PowerShot A50 incorporates a newly developed 1/2.7-inch, 1.31 million pixel CCD sensor that creates full-color, high-resolution images up to 1280 x 960 pixels. The A-50 also offers an optional 640 x 480 resolution setting that is ideal for on-screen applications such as Web sites and CD-ROMs while allowing more images to be recorded on a single CompactFlash memory card. There are two JPEG compression settings: Fine Mode (approximately 7.5:l) for high quality, and Normal Mode (approximately 14:1) for maximum storage capacity. The PowerShot A50 also offers a "CCD Raw" recording mode that permits image data to be stored without compression (at 1280 x 960 resolution) when the captured image must be as true to the original scene as possible.

    The A50 also supports the newly-standardized Digital Print Order Format (DPOF), which allows the camera's built-in LCD monitor to be used for tagging individual images with printing instructions such as quantity and size. This feature is designed to streamline the process of obtaining high-quality color prints by minimizing or eliminating the need to fill in conventional paper order forms.
