Connectivity
Software (6.0)
This camera comes equipped with a Canon Digital Camera Solution Disc which allows the user to print, edit, and reconfigure images on personal computer systems.

Jacks, Ports, Plugs (6.0)
The left side of the Canon PowerShot A510 features a terminal cover that leads to three connection ports for the camera, all condensed within a small vertical space: DC in, USB terminal, and A/V out.

Direct Print Options (7.0)
The A510 has direct print capabilities in several formats. This camera is able to use Canon Direct Print, Bubble Jet Direct, and PictBridge printers.

Memory (6.5)
The memory card slot is located beneath a door on the bottom edge of the camera's back face. This door is one of the better designs for memory card slots I have seen; a simple flip opens it right up and the memory card can be easily slid into position. This camera ships with a 16 MB SD/MMC memory card.

Other Features (5.5)
Remote Control -When this camera is connected to a PC via USB connection, the user is able to remotely control the Canon PowerShot A510 camera with the included exclusive software.

Accessory High Power Flash HF-DC1-This accessory flash connects to the left side of the camera body and allows the user to shoot distance shots with a flash when the built-in flash is insufficient.

Underwater Housing - The A510 can shoot underwater if the user purchases the waterproof case that was designed by Canon specifically for this camera model. The camera is NOT waterproof by itself; the additional case is required.
