|
|
|
Fish-eye and Miniature Effect |
|
IXUS 300 HS is incorporated with Miniature and Fish-eye Effects for creation of special photos, users can now capture more creative and interesting photos. After selecting the subject, the Miniature Effect blurs the background areas and emphasizes the subject, creating a similar effect of miniature models captured by Tilt-Shift Lens. The Fish-eye Effect intentionally expands the central area of an image to create an interesting convex effect. Users can choose from three levels, Low, Medium and High, for different level of enlargement and convexity to make great fun of different effects.

Smart Shutter, with Face, Smile and Wink Self-Timer |
IXUS 300 HS is equipped with the Smart Shutter Mode. Face Self-Timer can automatically detect every single face in the frame, the self-timer will be switched on after the new face enters the frame. Focus and exposure will be adjusted and the shutter will be released after two seconds. It becomes handy easy now to take beautiful photos in front of a desired background, and people's face will always be in sharp focus. The Wink and Smile Self-Timer are capable of detecting small changes of facial expression like blinked eyes and smiles, and automatically operating the shutter for shooting. After the first detected face blinking to the camera, the camera will automatically optimize the focus as well as exposure and release the shutter after two seconds; while smiling to the camera, focus and exposure will be adjust, and the shutter will be released immediately. It helps to avoid embarrassing problems such as shaking hand or missing out any precious shooting moments, ensuring every happy smiling face is captured clearly.
