PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The Canon Digital IXUS 80IS. The Digital IXUS 80 IS is available in four colour variations and incorporates Canon know how. Digital IXUS 80 IS a compact, curved design in four attractive colour variations (Classic Silver, Candy Pink, Chocolate, Caramel), 8.0 Megapixels, 3x zoom with optical Image Stabilizer and 2.5” high resolution PureColor LCD II The Digital IXUS 80 IS incorporates other leading technologies including Digic III image processor and 3x zoom with optical Image Stabiliser (IS). Together with enhanced Face Detection Technology and Auto Red-Eye Correction as an option in shooting mode, these features offer a significant step up in technologies. “The Digital IXUS 80 IS is an attractive, intelligent addition to the Digital IXUS range,” said Mogens Jensen, Head of Canon Consumer Imaging, Europe: “It gives users access to the latest Canon technologies to assist them in tricky shooting situations, making even difficult set-ups simple point-and-shoot affairs. They can also match their camera to their personal style, by choosing from one of four colour options.” Ixus 80 IS Ultimate blur solution 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 (where available) – to assess camera or subject movement. It 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. The lens-shift type optical Image Stabilizer lens found in the Digital IXUS 80 IS and PowerShot A590 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.
