Packed with easy to use functions The new look IXUS II has its button and LCD display position on the back, where they're easy to see and use. You'll also find there's plenty of room to operate the zoom - thanks to a clever lever on top which remains under your thumb and under your control. A 2x zoom that's second to none Other cameras may offer APS, but only IXUS II comes with a Canon lens system. Its 23mm to 46mm zoom boasts to aspherical lenses which together deliver sharp, high-contrast results from as near as 0.45 meters. When shooting extremely distant objects, the hybrid autofocus system on the IXUS II adjusts from active to passive. AF as needed - to help you achieve fast, accurate focus in challenging photographic situations. A built-in flash with a built-in advantage With five different flash modes, the IXUS II readily adapts to any lighting condition. You can choose to fire the flash in low-light conditions, use its slow synchro flash to pick up background detail, and reduce red-eye with its built-in red-eye reduction lamp. Designed for any occasion Sometimes, cameras are meant to be seen, not heard. That's when auto rewind override comes in handy - cancelling the automatic rewind function so that you don't disturb the peace. It's just one of three custom functions you'll find on the IXUS II. The others are real time shutter release, which allows you to capture perfect moments before subjects can blink an eye, and flash mode preservation, which lets you temporarily prevent the flash firing when flash photography is prohibited. | 1 | 2 |
