Canon IXUS 990 IS equipped with framing options
The Canon IXUS 990 IS features a classic, metallic finish .With its 5.0x optical zoom, the Canon IXUS 990IS gives users a powerful range of framing options - or the ability to bring distant subjects up close. Canon’s optical Image Stabilizer delivers blur-free results throughout the zoom range on both cameras.
12 Megapixel Canon Digital IXUS 990 IS
The Canon Digital IXUS 990 IS captures images at an incredible 12.1 Megapixel resolution, offering the freedom to crop or enlarge images with no loss in detail. Canon’s DIGIC 4 processor uses improved algorithms and calculation accuracy, allowing the Canon digital camera to deliver ultra-fast operation, and rich, low-noise images with outstanding clarity and colour reproduction.
Canon IXUS 990 IS incorporates a Smart Auto mode
For maximum results with minimum effort, the Canon IXUS 990 IS 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 990IS features intelligent technologies
Thanks to DIGIC 4 processing, Canon’s intelligent technologies are now more accurate than ever. Improved Motion Detection Technology aids blur-free capture of moving subjects. i-Contrast brightens the dark areas of a photo without blowing out correctly-exposed areas. Face Detection incorporates new 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.
Many shooting modes incorporated in the Canon IXUS 990 IS
The wide range of shooting modes in the Canon IXUS 990 IS includes options for creative photography: the new Zoom Blur mode physically zooms the lens during exposure to create a dynamic feeling of movement, while the improved Creative Light Effect moves the IS system lens during longer exposures for a ‘drawing with light’ effect.
