- Unwanted scenes can be deleted in movie playback mode
The Ixy digital 320 allows unwanted sections to be deleted in the movie playback mode. However, the sections
that can be deleted are either from the start of the recording to an arbitrary point or from an arbitrary point to
the end of the recording.

- New fast image storage CF card (256 MB)
A new high-capacity FC-256MH CF card with reduced write times has been configured to handle long continuous
storage* of moving images. The capacity of the card is 256 MB.

- Driver-less computer connections with Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) support
Because the Ixy digital 320 supports PTP, a standard protocol, driver-less image communications with computers
is possible when combined with recent operating systems (Windows XP or Mac OS X (version 10.1)). Specifically,
selecting PTP from the "communications setting" on the camera menu, the following functions can be controlled
from the computer by simply connecting the camera.
- Digital zoom continuously changes the field of view (approx. 3.2x ; approx. 6.4x magnification
when combined with optical zoom)
The digital zoom magnification of IXY DIGITAL 320 enlarges from 2.5x that is employed on the prior IXY
series to approx. 3.2x owing to employment of 3M-pixel CCD. It can adjust the field of view by up to a
maximum of 6.4x (35 mm film equivalent:35 to 224
mm) by combining a 3.2x digital zoom magnification
with the optical 2x zoom lens.
Furthermore, several dozen image input positions are
calibrated for the monitor display to ensure a smooth
digital zoom of the image on the monitor display. The
actual zoom position can be stopped in six positions
including both end positions in consideration of
practicability.
Due to fast signal processing, the optical zoom and
digital zoom are driven at nearly the same speed so
that no peculiarity is sensed in operation (during
switchover).
