IXUS 80IS Information

Digital IXUS 80IS8.0 Megapixels

The megapixel value of a digital camera tells you the amount of detail it can record.  When you have more megapixels, you can make larger prints or enlarge and crop without losing print quality. The Digital IXUS 80IS  provides all the resolution you need for fine detailed,  quality prints with plenty of scope for cropping. 

 

3X Optical Zoom

The IXUS 80IS with it's 3x optical zoom not only gets you in close, but gives all the clarity and brilliance you’d expect from the world’s leader in advanced optics technology. 

 

Face Detection Technology 

Using the power of DIGIC III, Canon’s Face Detection Technology ensures excellent people shots by automatically detecting subjects in the frame and setting the correct focus, flash level and exposure.

 

Motion Detection Technology / High ISO/IS 

Canon’s Motion Detection Technology uses various methods to detect camera and subject movement and set exposure accordingly. The brightness of the background as well as the subject, movement of the subject (based on comparison of frames over time) Face Detection information and camera shake information from the optical Image Stabilizer (IS) are all taken into account. If motion is detected the camera automatically selects the appropriate ISO level to achieve a shot with minimal blur and noise.

 

Red Eye Correction 

This useful feature can remove red-eye automatically during shooting and also in playback mode.

 

2.5” LCD Screen 

The 2.5-inch LCD screen of the IXUS 80 IS gives you a bigger picture, whether you’re shooting or reviewing your images. This durable, high-resolution screen with a scratch-resistant coating on the anti-reflective, PureColor LCD II screen offers pin sharp, clear pictures to make using this camera especially easy.

 

Optical Image Stabilizer

Any slight shake while hand-holding a camera can cause blurred photos. Canon’s optical Image Stabilizer (IS) technology ensures crisp, clear images by detecting and correcting this shake. The 80 IS is able to microscopically adjust its own lens with absolute accuracy up to 4,000 times every second, so the image you see is the image you capture. Image Stabilizer is especially useful when using the zoom feature, which exaggerates camera movements, and in low-light settings that call for slower shutter speeds.

 

DIGIC III 

The huge processing capacity of DIGIC III paves the way for advanced features such as Red-Eye Correction and Face Detection Technology, while exceptional processing speeds delivers outstanding responsiveness, accurate auto focus and longer continuous shooting. Linking all vital camera functions for greatest effectiveness, all DIGIC processors achieve superb image detail, clarity and colour reproduction,while delivering long, high quality movies and more shots from a single charge.

 

Sunset Scene Mode

“Sunset” is added to the Special Scene Modes. This mode optimizes settings such as white balance and exposure, thereby making it possible to create brilliant sunset shots.

 

Optical Viewfinder 

 Conserve power on your IXUS 80 IS by turning the LCD monitor off while shooting and using the Optical Viewfinder. Use the LCD monitor to compose close-ups in macro mode since images composed with the viewfinder may be off-center.

 

My Colours 

Add a personal touch to your image or movie with Canon’s My Colours. Choose from antique sepia for a portrait, vivid blue for the sky or classic black and white for the landscape shot. These creative options and more – often available only on a computer – can be applied directly from your camera, before or after the shot.

 

30 FPS VGA Movies 

 Shoot super-smooth, VGA quality movies with sound on your Canon IXUS 80IS. In-camera editing gives you perfect control and slow-motion playback highlights every single moment. Choose Long Play mode for higher compression which allows twice as much video to be stored on your memory card.

 

iSAPS 

Like a virtual assistant, iSAPS determines the precise settings for each image even before you take a shot. It analyses the scene using PhotoSpace – an in-camera library of photographic data about the way people take pictures. It then controls the focus, exposure and white balance to ensure you get the best shot every time.
