The Close-up feature for underwater
shooting works side by side with the viewfinder so you will know which area you will
be composing. It is enlarged, enabling you to easily compose your pictures, even
when you're wearing a snorkel or ski goggles.
The IXUS X-1 also has a Built-in flash function with a Red-Eye reduction option for
low light and night-time photography. A Slow-Syncro feature ensures long exposure
to pick up finer background details.
In APS cameras, the Classic print has the same size as a 4x6 inch one usually gets
from the 35mm format. The HDTV is wider by another 20 per cent and its name stems
from its width correspondending with the 16:9 aspect ratio (widescreen) format of
high definition television. Panorama print is another 40 per cent wider than the
Classic's size.
