Slim metal body; 24mm 5x optical zoom
With an elegantly slim metal body you can take the IXUS 240 HS everywhere. Fit more in the frame with ultra-wide 24mm or get close to distant subjects with 5x optical zoom or up to 10x with ZoomPlus - an advanced zoom technology with more visible detail and sharpness than conventional digital zoom.
HS System: 16.1 MP CMOS and DIGIC 5
HS System excels in low light so you can capture the real atmosphere of the moment without flash or tripod. Advanced DIGIC 5 processing and a high-sensitivity 16.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor give exceptional image quality in all situations.
Intelligent IS
Intelligent IS combats camera shake to ensure all your photos and videos are sharp and detailed even at full zoom or in low light. It automatically adjusts the optical Image Stabilizer to the scene from 7 modes to prevent blur.
Wi-Fi for easy image sharing
Wi-Fi lets you connect your camera wirelessly with other devices* such as your smartphone for quick and easy sharing of photos and movies with friends and family.
Fingertip control
A widescreen high-resolution 8.0 cm (3.2) PureColor II Touch LCD with customisable smart touch interface provides intuitive control for fast easy operation and pleasurable playback. Touch Shutter allows you to touch on the point of focus and then to trigger the shot.
Full HD movies HDMI
Record superb Full HD (1080p) movies at 24fps with stereo sound and optical zoom. Intelligent IS keeps footage steady while filming even at full zoom. An HDMI connection ensures high quality playback on an HDTV.
Smart Auto (58 scenes)
Effortlessly shoot great photos or movies with Smart Auto which detects the scene and selects optimal settings from 58 variables (21 in movies). It also works with faces stored in Face ID and adapts shooting according to registered age – for example turning off flash and sounds when a sleeping baby is detected.
Face ID
Face ID registers up to 12 faces of family and friends so they are automatically the focusing priority in every shot and tags images with their names so they are easy to find in playback.
High-speed shooting
Use High-speed Burst to capture non-stop fast-paced action or slow things down with Super Slow Motion Movie.
Movie Digest (720p)
Movie Digest records 4 seconds of video before each photo is shot and then joins all the recorded short clips into a bonus HD (720p) movie.
