Smart Flash Exposure
New Smart Flash Exposure improves natural and ambient lighting in every shot, intelligently adjusting flash exposure to suit the subject and the shooting conditions. In daylight, for example, Smart Flash Exposure will detect and eliminate harsh facial shadows created when light reaches people at an angle, automatically engaging the flash to brighten up any poorly lit features. Flash power is also controlled during close ups, preventing over exposure and retaining image detail of subjects shot from a short distance.

Video clips with easy YouTube uploader
As well as taking fantastic still pictures the IXUS 105 allows you to capture smooth 30fps VGA video clips of up to an hour in length. For fast and easy uploading of your clips to sharing websites like YouTube, Easy Web Upload software is included free in the box. This displays your SD clips and can store your YouTube log in details, so you can just select your clip and upload with one click.

Face Detection locates faces in shot and automatically adjusts for natural skin tones. Click here for a larger image

Flawless detection technology
Evolved Face Detection and Motion Detection Technology finds and tracks moving subjects until you're ready to shoot, adjusting the camera settings for optimal results. Faces will have natural-looking skin tones and can even be detected in profile, at an angle to the camera or from long distances. A Face Detection Self-Timer also makes group photos and self-portraits easy. Once the shot has been set up, the camera records the number of faces detected in the frame when the shutter is depressed and the self timer started - it then waits for an extra face to get in the frame and adjusts focus and exposure before it takes the picture. Auto Red-Eye detection completes the detection technology collection to ensure flawless photos every time.
