Canon Ixus 285 HS A Camera - Black
The Canon IXUS 285 A is a compact camera that lets you easily capture all your memories. Its compact size is combined with powerful performance. Thanks to the flexible 25 mm wide-angle lens with 12x optical zoom (up to 24x ZoomPlus), you can take both close-ups and wide-angle shots in high quality. The slim metal design ensures that the camera is always easy to carry, so you never have to miss a moment.
The 20.2-megapixel CMOS sensor, combined with the DIGIC 4+ image processor, delivers clear, detailed images, even in low light. Intelligent optical image stabilization ensures sharp photos and stable videos in a variety of conditions. The LCD screen makes it easy to frame your shot and review your images.
With a single press of a button, you can switch to filming in Full HD (1080p). Thanks to the Dynamic Image Stabilizer, your videos always look smooth and professional, even when you zoom in or film handheld. For extra creativity, the Creative Shot function analyses your photo and automatically generates five unique variations. What's more, you can easily take macro shots from as close as 1 cm away.
Share your images easily. Connect the camera directly to your smartphone or tablet via WiFi or Dynamic NFC. This allows you to share photos, make backups, or control the camera remotely. The functions are easy to operate via the dedicated WiFi button.
