Press Release - 23 August 2011 Canon today adds to its premium IXUS series with the launch of the IXUS 230 HS – a striking, super-slim 8x optical zoom camera that fuses leading optical technology with stand-out design. Elegantly-styled in six vibrant colours, the new model packs a powerful Canon lens into a thin metal body with a range of leading features, making it easy for users to capture memories in incredible detail. The IXUS 230 HS is the latest in the IXUS line to benefit from the HS System, providing premium Canon image quality in all shooting conditions, and especially in low light. Ideal for parties, special occasions or holidays, the camera features a precision 28mm 8x optical zoom lens, and at just 22.1mm thick, is the world’s slimmest camera of its type (Slimmest 8x optical zoom camera. According to Canon research as of 23rd August 2011 and in accordance with CIPA standards). It’s also among the first to include Canon’s new Intelligent IS system, making it easy to capture richly-detailed and shake-free stills, or steady Full HD (1080p) movies. IXUS style, HS System power Genuine Canon optics – compact precision and
flexibility Intelligent IS – more detail, less blur Providing seven types of stabilisation (Normal IS, Dynamic IS, Powered IS, Panning IS, Macro IS, Tripod mode, Dynamic Macro IS), Intelligent IS automatically identifies the shooting conditions and adapts the optical Image Stabilizer to prevent camera shake most effectively. Macro IS corrects exaggerated shift shake which occurs during close-up macro photography, while Powered IS works during movie shooting to counteract the exaggerated motion which occurs when shooting distant subjects using the zoom. In combination with Smart Auto, Intelligent IS works automatically so users can capture images that are rich in detail with minimal blur, without worrying about settings. Shoot Full HD movies in an instant A large, premium-quality 7.5cm (3.0”) PureColor LCD II G display is perfect for image framing and playback, with a 460k-dot resolution that offers fine detail, high contrast and excellent colour reproduction. A tempered glass outer layer provides a wide viewing angle and resistance to scratches, and Hints & Tips throughout the user interface make operation easy, helping users to learn about their camera as they go. Outstanding images made easy Smart Auto includes Face Detection Technology and Advanced Subject Detection Technology, locking onto human faces, pets, or other objects, such as cars, within a scene. Once identified, Servo AF/AE keeps subjects in focus and well-exposed, right up until the moment the image is captured. i-Contrast and Smart Flash Exposure, also included within Smart Auto, ensure subjects always look their best – reducing the appearance of harsh shadows and over-exposed highlights in the final shot. High speed, limitless creativity To help users get the best results, Best Image Selection captures a high-speed sequence of shots and records the best image, and Handheld Night Scene captures a sequence of pictures and combines image data to produce one optimally exposed image with the minimum of blur. Creative shooting modes add a range of different perspectives to a scene, including Miniature Effect, Fish-eye Effect, Super Vivid and Poster Effect, Toy Camera Effect and Monochrome Effect. Miniature Effect also extends to movies, recording 1.5, 3 or 6 fps to create a time-lapse video with a visual impression of a small-scale model. Movie Digest mode also provides an interesting way to capture the story behind the pictures – automatically recording the four seconds prior to a shot being taken, before combining each day’s clips into a single movie. Additionally, the IXUS 230 HS will also be compatible with the HF-DC2 – a new external flash unit that can be used to supplement the on-board flash.
