It’s a very nice looking piece of kit that’s bound to get admiring glances, and with a width of only 19. There’s no optical viewfinder, as we’ve come to expect of point-and-shoot compacts, and the screen is a modest 2.

In other words, if you`re taking a group photo of 10 people standing by each other and you can capture 8 of them in the scene using the 28mm camera, shooting from the same place you`ll be able to capture all 10 of them using IXUS 220HS, without a need to move back (numbers used here are just for making a point). A press of the ‘func/set’ button in Smart Auto mode brings up a toolbar on the left side of the screen with a very limited array of options: self timer, the ability to control image aspect ratio, plus a choice of JPEG image size (Large, two Medium options, Small) and compression level (Fine or Normal) depending on how many shots you want to squeeze on to your SD, SDHC or SXHC memory card – there’s no internal memory supplied with the camera. Autofocus is less accurate when the light drops off, so a few attempts might need to be made to lock the focus onto the appropriate subject.Your feature summary sounds good and you match my rationale with 24 mm equiv wide angle a clincher for me. There’s also the Movie Digest mode that captures up to 4 seconds of footage at a time before joining your clips together.

As this seems to be a pretty active forum with a lot of professionals that could help further, I decided to post it here, too. At the rear, there’s a choice between Auto and Program, with the Auto mode using the Smart Auto features to detect and select the correct scene mode for the shot. It also has Full HD movie mode, program, scene and creative shooting modes and a high-speed burst rate that boasts eight frames per second. screen, and while you may be surprised to hear that the Canon IXUS 220 HS doesn’t have the now obligatory 3in screen, any bigger, and the overall size of the camera would have been compromised, though a slightly higher resolution than the 230k dots would have been nice.Program mode provides you with more control, allowing you to determine settings such as ISO, White Balance and metering. The Canon IXUS 220 HS's maximum shutter speed is 15 seconds in the Long Shutter mode, which is good news if you're seriously interested in night photography. The Digic 4 processor’s approach to scene detection is a sophisticated one, first determining whether there are people in the frame and if they are moving, then what the lighting conditions are and finally whether the camera is mounted on a tripod.

The Canon IXUS 220 HS (also known as the PowerShot ELPH 300 HS) is a new sleek, slim and stylish compact digital camera. Among these is a high-speed burst shooting mode for action fans, which captures up to 8fps at a lower three megapixels. Whilst the right hand side of the camera, if viewed from the back, features the output ports and a lug for attaching a strap, the opposite flank of the camera is devoid of features entirely. With the underwater case made by Canon, allow shooting upto depths of 3m, it's ideal for shots in the pool on holiday or when out snorkeling or surfing.

But if the scene has some really bright (in the sun) or dark (shadows) parts, auto mode is untrustworthy once again - pictures could be great, but also very bad - with colors being washed out, or "burnt" (overexposed, too bright areas that lost all the details, or people`s faces looking unnaturally pink).

The flash settings on the Canon IXUS 220 HS are Auto, Flash On, Slow Synchro, and Flash Off, with Red-eye Correction and Red-Eye Lamp settings available via the Flash Settings main menu option. Expert services to keep your equipment working perfectly, enhance its imaging performance or repair it.

We are bringing the latest innovation to this year’s International Broadcasting Convention, one of the world’s biggest media and technology shows. And so we’ve tried shooting our test image with Low Light mode selected, which effects an image drop to three megapixels. Do they transcend its budget status, or remain in the gutter whilst other digital compacts are grasping at the stars? I’m not going to produce noise and colour tests for the camera, nor am I going to list the various functions and features of the camera. That's not the case here and even the three megapixel Low Light mode delivered a pleasingly sharp result when faced with our regular doll test subjects.
