Delivering high-quality imaging performance, the Canon IXY 610F’s 10x optical zoom lens includes a double-sided aspherical lens element to effectively correct for aberrations across the entire zoom range. In addition, ZoomPlus technology, which applies the optimal image-processing settings based on the level of magnification, extends the camera’s zoom range up to approximately 20x through digital magnification while maintaining a high level of resolution.
The new IXY 610F saves a history of the last three connections used for uploading and sharing images through Wi-Fi, enabling users to more easily and quickly send images to frequently used smartphones, tablet PCs*1 or SNS (Social Networking Service) sites. The device not only allows photos to be uploaded to Facebook, but also text to be posted*2 on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and other sites.
Featuring Movie Digest, the 610F automatically records short video clips of up to approximately four seconds just before still images are captured, which can then be combined to create a short movie highlighting the day’s events. Short movies of up to two minutes in length can be shared by uploading video files to a smartphone or SNS site using a Wi-Fi connection.
The Canon IXY 610F employs the HS System, which combines an approximately 12.1-megapixel low-noise, high-sensitivity CMOS sensor and DIGIC 5, Canon’s latest high-performance image processor, to realize exceptional imaging results even when shooting in low-light conditions.
