The power of quality and zoom, in your pocket

Each new camera captures moments in impressive 20 megapixel quality, as well as movies in HD 720p, with powerful optical zooms that give you the freedom to get closer to the detail. The IXUS 185’s 8x and the IXUS 190's 10x optical zoom recline back into their bodies, which are so compact they can easily be slipped into a pocket or bag. The IXUS cameras also feature Zoom Plus digital which doubles the zoom range, perfect for getting those hard to reach shots while still at full resolution. For really long distant scenes, the PowerShot SX430 IS’s impressive 45x optical zoom puts you at the heart of the action, while the 90x ZoomPlus takes you even closer.

To help you capture every friend, family or scene in the best light, the IXUS’s new Easy Auto feature automatically selects the best camera settings for you, and locks buttons to help you avoid pressing anything by mistake. For added ease, Auto Zoom intelligently selects the best framing for stills and movies, based on the number of people in the shot.

With each press of the shutter, Canon’s Intelligent IS helps to ensure images are crisp, with minimal blur. Eight modes constantly adapt to the scene that’s being captured, from on a tripod to panning whilst shooting a child running, while Dynamic IS supports during movie shooting.

Creative features with class leading technology

The new LEGRIA HF R806 offers the ability to change frame rates mid-recording with the new ‘Flexible’ slow and fast motion effects. Such as at the crucial moment candles are blown out, or your child dives into the swimming pool. To ensure your videos look natural and well lit, the Highlight Priority mode is backed-up with an improved Backlight Correction. The combination of the two settings helps the camcorder analyse the scene to ensure all the detail is captured and the contrast between the light and dark is sharper, even in bright scenes. Or if you’d prefer to let the camera do the work, select Automatic scene and the camera will change the settings for you.

The video camera is equipped with powerful Intelligent IS, which helps balance out any camera shake, even at high levels of zoom. Whether you’re capturing your baby's first steps or holiday fun in the sun, your video will stay steady while you rush to keep up with the action. Let far-away details come closer with the 32x optical zoom, an impressive 57x Advanced Zoom and reliable Auto Zoom Framing Assist to make sure you never miss a shot. The 7.5cm high-res touch screen will allow you to easily frame and review your video on the go. For sound that brings your videos to life, Audio Scene Select adds the optimum setting for any scene to get the best audio quality.

Create, share and remember

Gone are the days of lengthy edits and slow uploads; the IXUS 190 and PowerShot SX430 IS feature built in Wi-Fi and NFC allowing you to transfer images from your camera to your smartphone via the Canon Camera Connect app.
