The Canon IXY DIGITAL L is the result of meticulous attention to design, materials and function. It takes the IXY DIGITAL concept – camera that is a pleasure to hold -one step further to achieve a new sense of style with a refined elegance that distinguishes it from its predecessors. The body of Canon’s IXY DIGITAL L employs front and rear panels made from a newly developed aluminum-magnesium alloy, which realizes exceeding durability while enabling a lustrous surface finish. Binding the front and rear panels is a single U-shaped piece of stainless steel which, forming three sides of the camera, contributes to striking aesthetics while also providing outstanding structural support. To appeal to fashion-conscious users, the IXY DIGITAL L comes in four color variations* – platinum silver, piano black, pearl white, and silky bronze -each taking on a unique character with surface finishes ideally suited to the color and properties of the coating material.
Matching sophisticated design and quality with outstanding imaging performance, the IXY DIGITAL L incorporates a high-resolution 1/2.5″ 4.0-megapixel CCD sensor and a newly developed high-resolution 6.4 mm (equivalent to 39 mm in 35 mm format) f/2.8 single-focal-length auto-focus lens. Photographic performance is enhanced by such features as: a Super Macro Shooting Mode, which enables auto-focus macro shooting from a distance of 3 cm and a photo-image area of up to 24 mm x 18 mm; a Quick Shooting Function, achieving an almost lag-free shutter response to ensure that photo opportunities are not lost; and a 5-point AiAF focus system with selectable single-point center focus.
Other handy features offered by the IXY DIGITAL L include: Watch Mode, which displays the time in the camera’s LCD monitor; Silent Mode, eliminating all sounds other than alert tones; and Display Off Mode, which automatically switches off the LCD monitor after a certain period of time for reduced power consumption.
