The operation of the camera is intuitive, so you quickly look through without manual.
The pictures are all very nice, sharp and colorful.
In automatic mode, the camera itself, which are the best settings decides. So you can quickly losknipsen plan.
But the program mode provides some refinements that allow taking pictures more fun.
In addition to the most common modes such as beach shots, sunset, snow or indoor, there are other distinguished the Ixus in my eyes:
-High Mode: Up to 8 pictures are taken per second, thereby also fast movements are razor sharp detained
-5 Images: Here are 5 pictures in rapid succession, the camera then selects the most of this and only stores
-Miniaturmodus: Only the central region is focused, characterized the impression of a miniature created
-Intelligent Recording: Dissolves automatically when the subject smiles in the picture
Color mode: During the recording, for example, red is replaced with blue, you can choose between all colors
-Langzeitbelichtung: Ideal in the dark, so you achieved great effects for example, passing cars, since only the light streaks appear on the image
Also, the video mode is not to be despised. Here you can take, for example, shooting in Full HD with 1080 pixels. It is also possible to take movies with Miniature Effect. Again, only a small portion of the video is in focus and the video does not run in real time, but somewhat accelerated.
Another great mode is the slow motion. This video is recorded with 240 frames per second, playback is done but only with 30 frames per second, thus creates a strong representation slowed. This is when filming, for example, animals that move quickly particularly interesting.
All in all I am very satisfied. For "little" money, you get a lot.
The photos have a top quality.
I'm a few pictures on the product page of Amazon upload. It can be seen, among other things how effective the zoom is.
