Intelligent exposure and focus in the IXUS 210 IS supplemented intelligent flash: the camera analyzes the distribution of shadows for example, on the face of the portrait , and accurately doses the pulse power blitz so as to illuminate, but not overlight the face. And when shooting up close, even the distance and reflectivity of the subject are taken into account!

It turns out that photos are not sorted by priority, but by the degree of similarity of the subjects, conditions and shooting parameters. Not to mention the usual self-timer on a smile, the appearance of a new face in the frame and the function Wink Self-Timer – self-timer shutter when winking.
The set of digital effects has been expanded: now it is possible to imitate a fisheye lens or apply the miniature filter directly in the camera in the first case, the geometry of the frame changes, the image becomes “convex”, in the second, the illusion of tiny size of objects is created, as when shooting macro models by keeping the central part of the frame sharp and blurring the top and bottom .
But we almost forgot about the main feature of this new product. The IXUS 210 IS is equipped with a huge 3.5-inch touchscreen and 460K resolution. points . Unlike the previous model, the IXUS 210 on the back panel is no longer room for “analog” controls, so the entire interface is based solely on taps and finger movements. These movements are customizable: you can set each one to correspond to one of the frequently used functions. Even more interesting, the interface is customizable: the user can change the location of icons and their colors to his taste.
Other characteristics of the camera – the most modern. 14 megapixel sensor with sensitivity from 80 to 1600 ISO, 5x zoom lens and wide angle lens 24-140 mm, f/2.8-5.9 .
