--- INBENTRIEBNAHME AND ACCESSORIES ---
In Lieferumfag a battery and a charger in addition to a hand strap, available. I must admit that I prefer rechargeable batteries and very happy with this convenient and cost-saving alternative, unlike batteries, was. A slightly abbreviated manual is also included. For additional information regarding the operation of the user can make smart on the Internet. The download of the full manual is available to users free of charge on the manufacturing side available. This variant is environmentally friendly and highly endorse. The tiny battery has a short charging time. In about 1.5 hours. The battery was fully charged and therefore ready for use. I had slight difficulty finding out the direction of insertion. Since all sides are equally rounded, I had to experiment around a bit.
--- DESIGN ---
The Canon IXUS shines in anthracite gray and is good in spite of the small size in hand. Noteworthy is the low weight. It can be quickly and easily stowed anywhere, perfect for traveling. After setting the date and language, trying out could begin.
--- SERVICE ---
The menu is laid out intuitively and has fortunately not on such frills as "frame" and other "image processing tools", etc. It is worth mentioning here the additional "Help" button in the form of a question mark. Here the user is given additional tips to use. On such subtleties can be seen for whom this camera was designed. The audience are mainly casual photographer who appreciate a simple menu navigation. A self-timer is not available. The one negative to me the speed of this camera. It takes noticeably slow the Enstellungen ago, the automatic changeover when filming takes a long time.
--- IMAGE QUALITY ---
One of the arguments for a ausschlagekräftigsten camera purchase is of course the image quality. The integrated Smart Auto automatically detects the subject and adjusts the respective settings, such as for night scenes, close-up, etc. This works quite well, even though it requires a bit of time for it. The results of this are well under the circumstances. When artificial light are the photos rarely exposed and the noise stops when compared to other models in limits. The eight-time optical zoom is neat for such a small device. When complete exhaustion of users compromising on image quality have to do after all. Photos are increasingly blurred and pixelated shown. But convincing the close-up on the board. Here you can not complain really. It is to perceive a great color reproduction and the focus is really exemplary.
--- Video function ---
The quality of the filming in HD is also ideal. Autofocus (often the problem with many cameras) remains even when zooming sharply pointed at the subject and adapts to the moving film subject. But it is very average resolution of the display. The best way to the photos or videos look the same on the laptop or computer.
