ISO 200

ISO 400

ISO 800

ISO 1600

ISO 3200

We have high expectations on the HS system which means the High Sensitivity and Ixus 310HS does not disappoint. At ISO100 to 400 the results are very, very sharp with high detail and clear lines. The sharpness of the image is slightly decreased at ISO800 and ISO1600, but still took out the “good”. ISO3200-Ixus 310 HS was not disappointing. Images at high ISO is a bright, relatively sharp, with little noise is annoying.

Therefore IXUS 310HS has a recording capability Full HD (1920 × 1080 pixels), then we also tested the video recording capabilities. We record video in the lab with various levels of lighting.

Again, low-light capabilities Ixus 310HS amaze us. Until the Exposure Value 4, the lighting in the dimly lit room, this camera produces very sharp HD video with bright colors.

Extinction point reached on the value of EV0.

Tests showed that the Ixus 310HS JagatReview extraordinary reliably in that category, both for photos and video. We also found that the shutter lag and AF lag this camera is very short.
