The IXY DIGITAL WIRELESS is Canon’s first digital camera equipped for wireless LAN transmission of image data. Canon’s new Wi-Fi Certified*1 IXY-series digital camera offers high-speed wireless image-data transmission, requiring only about six seconds to transmit a high-resolution 5.0-megapixel image. The IXY DIGITAL WIRELESS ships with a Wireless Print Adapter which, when attached to a PictBridge-compatible printer*2, allows users to enjoy easy and effortless printing without the need for connection cables. Users unfamiliar with wireless LAN systems can still operate the wireless features of the camera with ease since the bundled adapter is preset for use with the camera and does not require complicated initial setup.
In addition to offering high-speed wireless transmission of image data to a PC*3, Canon’s IXY DIGITAL WIRELESS enables users to print photographs from a printer connected to a PC using only the print controls on the camera*4. Moreover, with the Auto Transfer function, images captured with the digital camera can be simultaneously transferred to a PC, allowing users to immediately check and share the images on a large display. Another convenient image transfer option is provided by the Wireless Remote Capture feature, which enables users to remotely operate the camera from a PC.
The Canon IXY DIGITAL WIRELESS inherits the same outstanding functionality as the IXY DIGITAL 60 introduced in September this year to make possible outstanding image quality and ease of use. The IXY DIGITAL WIRELESS features a high-resolution 5.0-megapixel CCD sensor, an ultra-compact 3x zoom lens, and the DIGIC II image engine for exceptional image quality and fast responsiveness.
Also, the IXY DIGITAL WIRELESS incorporates a bright yet energy-efficient 2.0″ LCD monitor and an advanced user interface for easy shooting and playback operation.
*1 Based on the IEEE 802.11b standard format for wireless transmission used in home and office equipment. Wi-Fi certification is applied to products passing a standardized connection compatibility test administered by the Wi-Fi Ethernet Compatibility Alliance (WECA)
*2 While operability has been confirmed when connected to Canon-brand PictBridge-compatible printers, transmission problems may occur when connected to PictBridge-compatible printers from other manufacturers
*3 Operable only on PCs equipped with Windows XP SP2
*4 Printing conditions, such as paper size, must be set on PC in advance
