Canon strengthens its reputation for excellence in digital compact camera design with a new digital camera model: the slimmest ever Digital IXUS model, the 12.1 Megapixel Digital IXUS 100 IS - known as Canon Digital ELPH SD780 IS in the USA.
The new Canon IXUS 100 IS features a new Smart Auto mode, which uses Canon’s Scene Detection Technology to help users take great shots with ease. The Digital IXUS 100 IS also includes the option to shoot HD movies (1280 x 720, 30fps) and HDMI connectivity. Replacing the Canon IXUS 85 IS, the Canon IXUS 100 IS features a striking, 18.4mm wide stainless steel body, finished in a choice of silver, black, gold or red - making it ideal for the most prestigious of occasions. The Canon camera offers framing flexibility via a 3.0x optical zoom, with consistently blur-free results provided by Canon’s optical Image Stabilizer.
Canon IXUS 100 IS produces outstanding images
A generous resolution of 12.1 Megapixels allows for huge A2+ size prints or the freedom to crop images to improve composition while retaining outstanding image detail. The addition of Canon’s DIGIC 4 processor allows the Canon IXUS 100 IS to deliver ultra-fast operation, and rich, low-noise images with outstanding clarity and colour reproduction.
Smart Auto mode on the Canon IXUS 100 IS
For incredible pictures with extreme ease, the IXUS 100IS incorporates a new Smart Auto mode. This uses Canon’s Scene Detection Technology to analyse the shooting scene in detail - checking subject brightness, contrast, distance and overall hue. The camera then instantly selects one of 18 possible modes, to ensure perfect settings for the scene.
Canon IXUS 100IS incorporates intelligent technologies
Thanks to DIGIC 4 processing, Canon’s intelligent technologies are now more accurate than ever. Improved Motion Detection aids blur-free capture of moving subjects. i-Contrast brightens the dark areas of a photo without blowing out correctly-exposed areas. Face Detection Technology can register multiple faces in a frame and adjusts settings for better results, also included is Blink Detection, which helps avoid the disappointment of a mistimed portrait shot. Face Self-Timer simplifies group shots or self portraits by waiting until the user enters the frame before shooting. Auto Red-Eye Correction removes the unwanted red-eye effect caused by flash photography, either during or after shooting. In addition, the Canon Digital IXUS 100 IS offers a smarter, newly improved User Interface - making functions even easier and more intuitive to access.
Capture videos with the Canon Digital IXUS 100 IS
Despite its tiny proportions, the Canon IXUS 100 IS includes the ability to shoot pin-sharp, ultra-detailed video clips in High Definition (1280 x 720) - which can be played back on any HDTV via an HDMI connection. A 2.5” PureColor LCD II offers bright, detailed image preview and review. The inclusion of an optical viewfinder offers users an alternative way to compose shots.
