Tough, water resistant, all-sport cameraEverything about the IXUS X-1 is purposefully thought through to make it an essential part of your adventure, whether on or off shore. The camera's stylish, metallic edged exterior is constructed out of sturdy, protective material. Canon's Standard Test Method has demonstrated that the combined durability of the tougher casing and the camera's rounded shape makes the IXUS X-1 more robust than most ordinary compacts. So, you can be in the midst of action and still get that shot. Plus, the IXUS X-1 remains compact enough to slip into a shirt pocket and light enough to float in salt water.
The IXUS X-1 is designed for use in out of the ordinary situations. Operating the switches and buttons in your sports gear is no problem, even when gloves are essential. All the controls are positioned together, are noticeably bigger and have a special grip, so taking photographs is easy in all circumstances.
Takes like a fish to the water
Of course underwater photography requires special features to make picture taking as effortless as it is on land. A clever Underwater Macro function helps combat the illusion of being closer to the sea life than you really are. You can get as close up as 45 cm and still achieve the vibrant, clear results you expect. This feature works side by side with the viewfinder. This is enlarged, enabling you to easily frame your shot, even when you're wearing a snorkel mask or ski goggles.
The IXUS X-1 also has a Built-in Flash function, with a Red-Eye reduction option, for low-light and night time photography. A Slow-Syncro feature ensures long exposure to pick up finer background detail. No matter where, or when, the IXUS X-1 looks good and performs brilliantly.
