The 2.8-inch wide display can accommodate more. The amount of information allows the IXUS 110 IS to highlight the wide-angle characteristics during shooting and playback. However, due to the number of display pixels, the display fineness of the IXUS 110 IS is average, but the display brightness and viewing angles are good, which can satisfy outdoor needs. For viewing in strong light environments and for sharing with multiple people.
Canon IXUS 110 IS displays direction key shortcut functions on the screen
In addition, the extreme simplification of control components is an obvious feature of IXUS 110 IS. On the back of the fuselage, in addition to the dial wheel and direction keys There are only two buttons outside the group, and even the shortcut functions of the arrow keys have been changed to appear on the screen. This design has two benefits. First, it increases the button area and feels better in the hand. It also makes it easier to see the functions of the shortcut keys through the screen in a dark environment.

Canon IXUS 110 IS supports? Dynamic display? Dynamic display? This is a particularly interesting feature of the Canon IXUS 110 IS. Just hold the camera and shake it in different directions to play back the photos in sequence. The control method is more intuitive and interesting.
In the response speed test, we used an 8GB capacity SanDisk Extreme III SDHC card as the storage medium. The startup time in the project refers to the time from pressing the power switch to the preview screen appearing on the screen and the memory card working indicator light showing the end of card reading; the shutdown time refers to the time from pressing the power switch to the display turning off and the lens being fully retracted; The post-shooting processing time refers to the time required to release the shutter until the next preview screen appears on the screen and prepare for the next shot; the playback transition time refers to the time required to press the direction keys until the next photo is clearly visible in playback (browse) mode. The time displayed on the screen. When testing the focusing speed, we used the black and white picture displayed on the LCD monitor at a distance of 1 meter as the focusing object. Leave other camera settings as default.

Power performance testing. We followed the test method provided by the CIPA DC-002-2003 standard and used a fully charged lithium battery (model NB-4L, 760mAh, 3.7V) and a SanDisk Extreme III SDHC card with a capacity of 8GB to conduct the test. The key points of the test are: Use P mode to shoot during the test, and the photo storage format is the largest and most detailed. Use the built-in flash once for every two shots. The interval between every two shots is 30 seconds. During this period, perform at least one full-focus zoom operation. Turn off the power for more than 5 minutes after every 10 shots. In addition, during the test, the anti-shake function was turned on throughout the test, the automatic power-saving function was turned off throughout the test, the LCD was used for framing and the display brightness was kept at the highest level. The test process ends when the camera automatically shuts down due to insufficient power.
The following are the response speed and power performance test items and results. In actual use, due to different environments and photographers’ habits, there will be slight differences from the following results:

Our imaging tests for cameras mainly include resolution, dispersion, and color reproduction Ability and other items, during the test, we first followed the method provided in the Imatest software usage reference, used the test prototype to shoot the test target multiple times under the lighting of a 5000K standard color temperature lamp (color rendering index greater than 95), and then used the Imatest software to analyze and obtain Values, select values ??that represent the average level or the average of multiple tests and list them in this article.
Imaging resolution
When conducting the imaging resolution test, we used the automatic mode of the test prototype to shoot enhanced ISO 12233 resolution at a focal length of approximately 50mm equivalent to a 35mm film camera. Test the target, and then use Imatest to perform numerical analysis on the local objects in the center and edge areas of the image. We use the MTF50 value obtained by Imatest analysis as a reference to examine the imaging resolution of the camera. The MTF50 value of the test result (unit: LW/PH, line width/image height) indicates the maximum resolution (contrast ratio) that the camera can achieve per imaging height. The number of black and white lines is 50). The higher the value, the higher the imaging resolution of the camera (lens). The following is the resolution test target taken by IXUS 110 IS. The red marked area is the test sample area.

Imaging dispersion
When analyzing imaging dispersion, we use the same analysis objects as in the resolution test. This The value has a lot to do with the quality of the lens. The lower the value, the better.
Imaging shape distortion
When testing imaging shape distortion, we use a test prototype to shoot a square grid on a plane, and then use Imatest to test the distortion of the image. The value in the list is SMIA TV Distortion. The closer this value is to zero, the better. A positive value indicates positive distortion in the imaging, and a negative value indicates otherwise.
Photosensitivity uniformity at the wide-angle end
We use the wide-angle end of the test prototype and the average metering mode to shoot white objects that cannot be focused and have uniform illumination, and then use the software to perform the loss of light test. , obtain the ratio of the brightness at the edges and corners to the maximum brightness at the center of the image. This value can show the light loss at the corners of the lens and reflects the photosensitivity uniformity of the sensor. It is below 100, and the bigger the better.
Imaging color
When analyzing the imaging color of the test prototype, we used it to shoot the X-rite ColorChecker SG color test target at a sensitivity of ISO 100, and then conducted color analysis. Data such as imaging color error and white balance error can be obtained. The white balance error value in the list is the color temperature error of the mid-gray block. The closer this value is to zero, the better. If this value is a positive number, it means that the imaging tone is cooler, and vice versa if it is a negative number. In the color error diagram, the squares in the Lab color gamut coordinates represent the ideal color (standard color) of the subject, and the circles represent the imaging color of the tested camera.

Judging from the test results, the lens quality of the Canon IXUS 110 IS is good, and it suppresses dispersion and shape distortion very well. It only loses light at the wide-angle end. It is slightly obvious, which means that the overall feeling of the IXUS 110 IS photos does not have any major flaws. However, judging from the results of the resolution test, IXUS 110 IS also undergoes substantial sharpening during image processing, making the details of the picture appear blunt. In addition, imaging noise is also more obvious in the pure color areas of the picture.
As a consumer camera, the imaging style of the Canon IXUS 110 IS is relatively easy to accept by the public. It can take photos with bright colors and rich layers in various situations, rather than an overly elegant picture. . With the wide-angle lens, the visual expression of IXUS 110 IS is even better, especially when shooting architecture and scenery. However, the detail quality of the photos of the IXUS 110 IS is not ideal, especially when the environment is slightly dark. This is also an unavoidable problem for high-pixel consumer models. The following are some test samples of the IXUS 110 IS:
