The Canon IXY 170 is equipped with a 25–300 mm (35 mm film equivalent) 12x optical zoom lens that, through ZoomPlus, achieves a digitally extended zoom range to approximately 24x while maintaining high imaging performance. It also incorporates a high-resolution CCD image sensor with approximately 20 million effective pixels.

The camera's Smart AUTO feature automatically detects scenes by assessing various factors in both the background and the subject and analyzes them using 32 predefined shooting situations. The camera then makes optimal settings to help ensure the best possible image capture. The IXY 170 combines Smart AUTO with Intelligent IS to enable the recognition of a total of 78 different combinations of shooting situations.
