press Release
London, UK, 8th February 2010 – Canon today unveils the latest models in its SD (IXUS in Europe) range – the new SD1400 (IXUS 130) and SD1300 (IXUS 105). Sleek, smooth and sophisticated, both new models merge stand-out looks with advanced technology, delivering the iconic blend of style and imaging excellence the IXUS brand is famous for. The SD1400 (IXUS 130) is also the slimmest IXUS model to date, measuring just 17.8mm at its thickest point.
Both new models include the latest DIGIC 4 processing, which complements the exceptional design with high quality images that feature excellent color, resolution and low noise. Like all IXUS models, both cameras are also incredibly easy to operate, making it simple for users to capture excellent pictures.
Wide-angle genuine Canon lens technology
Designed and manufactured to premium standards, both new models feature genuine Canon 28mm wide-angle 4x zoom lenses – perfect for group photos and landscapes at the widest setting, and great for portraits or shooting distant subjects using the zoom. Canon’s renowned optical Image Stabilizer system also counters camera shake, helping to prevent image blur, particularly when shooting at full zoom or in low light conditions.
Smart Auto with Scene Detection Technology and i-Contrast – simply point and shoot
Smart Auto with Scene Detection Technology helps users take great photos by automatically detecting the shooting scene, giving users the freedom to simply concentrate on taking the picture. Detecting 22 different scenes for the SD1400 (IXUS 130) and 18 for the SD1300 (IXUS 105), Smart Auto is able to determine a wide range of shooting conditions – such as Portrait, Landscape or Macro – before applying the optimum settings required to capture the perfect shot.
i-Contrast analyses images to deliver perfect exposure, adding light and detail to dark sections of images while reducing blow out in brighter areas. Smart Flash Exposure intelligently adjusts the flash to suit both the subject and shooting conditions – in daylight, for example, Smart Flash Exposure will detect and eliminate face shadows caused by bright sunlight by engaging the flash.
Motion Detection Technology, featured in both models, combats blur by monitoring camera shake, brightness and subject movement, and automatically sets the shutter speed and ISO level to deliver blur-free results. Servo AF/AE technology, available with the SD1400 (IXUS 130), also tracks moving subjects, maintaining both focus and exposure right up until the moment the user takes the shot.
Face Detection Technology – capture everyone, all of the time
Face Detection Technology provides perfect people shots with the minimum of effort. Up to 35 faces can be identified at once, with the camera ensuring subjects are well exposed and in focus. Auto Red-Eye correction also detects and removes any red-eye immediately after a picture is taken.
FaceSelf-Timer makes large group shots and self portraits simple by using Face Detection Technology to activate the shutter. Instead of the user setting a timer and rushing into position, FaceSelf-Timer cleverly monitors the scene and waits for an additional face to appear before taking the photo two seconds later. Multiple shots can also be taken to ensure the desired shot is captured, allowing users to get the picture they want every time.
Both models offer the easy operation synonymous with the IXUS range. Users of the SD1400 (IXUS 130) will be able to tag their best images as favourites in playback, making pictures easy to locate in their collection. A bright, clear user interface featured on both models also makes menu navigation effortless, helping to deliver the best images in the simplest way possible.

A Low Light mode also removes the difficulty of shooting in dark conditions, making it perfect for capturing the natural ambience when shooting in low light.
Smart Shutter mode provides inventive ways to control the shutter using Face Detection Technology, enabling the user to trigger the shutter using a smile or a simple wink of an eye.
