While remaining true to the basic design concept of ultra compactness, light weight, and high quality of the IXY/ELPH/IXUS series, this model has high cost performance at a very reasonable price.
By using an aspherical lens element, the 2X zoom lens gives high contrast and excellent image quality throughout the zoom range.
This camera has a full compliment of IX 240 features, including three custom functions that can be varied depending on the photographic objective or use of the finished photos, recording of six photography parameters for picture quality improvement (PQI) during photofinishing, three different print type (format) settings, date and title printing, and print quantity setting function.
The weight of the “card-sized” body is held to only 150 grams. The new finder is large, bright and sharp and the new flash is more powerful.
