Canon IXUS 80 IS digital camera “The emphasis on the new Canon Digital IXUS 80 IS digital compact is on taking the hassle out of everyday image-making, while providing Canon’s hallmark design and manufacturing excellence. Canon leads the field in image quality because it relies on intelligent solutions, not quick fixes,” said Mogens Jensen, Head of Canon Consumer Imaging Europe. “The newly released Canon digital camera incorporates class-leading features to combat common problems like camera shake and subject blur, without sacrificing overall image quality.” Canon IXUS 80IS - Motion Detection Technology With new Motion Detection Technology and the optical Image Stabilizer lens, Canon provides a comprehensive and intelligent solution to blur. Activated in High ISO Auto mode, Motion Detection Technology takes information from multiple sources - Face Detection Technology, scene brightness, subject movement and the optical Image Stabilizer. The Canon IXUS 80IS then calculates the minimum boost in ISO levels (between ISO 80-800) necessary to compensate for that motion. The wide range of inputs and precision of the Motion Detection algorithms ensure that Canon’s system avoids trading reduced blur for an unnecessary increase in image noise. Canon IXUS 80IS - Lens-shift optical Image Stabilizer The lens-shift type optical Image Stabilizer lens found in the Canon Digital IXUS 80 IS also contributes to low-noise images. It uses a moveable lens element - rather than a boost in ISO - to counteract the effects of camera-shake, with no accompanying increase in noise. This makes cameras with IS and Motion Detection Technology doubly effective against blur: Motion Detection Technology takes IS into account when calculating ISO levels, thus increasing image quality even further. Canon IXUS 80 - Face Detection Technology Face Detection White Balance and Face Select & Track are included in the Canon IXUS 80 IS digital camera, enhancing portraits and people shots taken in a wide range of situations. Face Detection White Balance sets the white balance for the face detection frame, in addition to the focus, exposure and flash set by previous versions of Face Detection. The result is portraits with natural skin tones, in all environments whether lit by artificial, natural, or mixed light sources. Face Select & Track follows a user-selected face around the frame, ensuring that the best results are achieved at the moment the photographer shoots. Canon IXUS 80 IS - Red-Eye Correction Red-Eye Correction is enhanced for 2008. In addition to Red-Eye Correction in playback, the Canon IXUS 80 IS (Canon SD1100 IS Digital Elph) now features automatic Red-Eye Correction in shooting. Auto Red-Eye Correction detects and removes red-eye as the user shoots, for natural, red-eye free images. Canon Digital IXUS 80 IS camera - Auto Focus New AF Point Zoom allows the photographer to magnify the AF frame when the shutter button is pressed half way, so that facial expressions can be checked before shooting. AF performance in low light has been significantly improved to achieve focus in scenes at around one stop darker, so that users can now take excellent shots in low-light conditions where they would have been unobtainable before.
