Pure IXUS design
Reflecting the design heritage of the original IXUS, the curved square design of the Digital IXUS 85 IS is set off perfectly with a bold lens ring detail and edging in piano black or silver.
10.0 Megapixels
A 10.0 Megapixel sensor captures images in fine detail, enabling creative trimming and poster size printing.
3x optical Image Stabilizer lens
Advanced UA (Ultra-High Refractive Index Aspherical) lens technology fits a powerful 3x optical zoom lens into the compact form of the Digital IXUS 85 IS. An optical Image Stabilizer (IS), helps you capture blur-free images in low-light and when shooting with the zoom.
Motion Detection Technology
There’s no need to worry about blur with Motion Detection Technology. This clever feature compensates for camera shake and subject movement while maximising image quality.
Face Detection Technology
Face Detection Technology ensures superb people shots by automatically setting optimum focus, exposure, flash and white balance. Face Select and Track lets you choose and track your primary subject, so you never lose a special face in the crowd.
Red-Eye Correction
Red-Eye Correction quickly and easily removes red-eye in camera. It can be set to automatically remove red-eye as you shoot or during playback mode, making natural eyes easy to achieve even when using the flash.
DIGIC III and iSAPS
Canon's DIGIC III processor provides lightning quick responses, superb image quality and advanced noise reduction for sharper, clearer images. iSAPS technology uses shooting scene data to optimise camera settings even before a shot is taken.
2.5" PureColor LCD II
A high resolution 2.5" PureColor LCD II screen gives an exceptionally wide viewing angle, perfect for sharing your photos with a group, plus impressive colour contrast, keeping the screen visible under bright light. An optical viewfinder (OVF) gives you additional flexibility.
Shooting Modes and My Colors
19 shooting modes include Sunset, Kids & Pets and Snow Special Scene modes which optimise camera settings for the easy capture of popular subjects. My Colors in-camera photo effects can be applied during or after shooting.
Movie Options
Movie modes include Long Play (LP) for VGA (30fps) clips that use half the normal memory card space. Capture a gradual scene like a sunrise or blooming flowers for accelerated playback with Time Lapse movie.
