Record Screens & Menus
Easy mode allows anyone to pick up the camera and start shooting without having to worry about camera settings. The only option available in this mode is turning the flash from auto to off.
Auto mode is another worry-free shooting mode that takes care of most of the camera's settings for you. Besides the flash, you also have access to image size, face detection and the camera's shooting menu.
Program mode gives the user the most control. This is still not a manual shooting mode, so the camera will always choose your shutter speed and aperture to make sure you have a properly exposed image. You do however, have control over a variety of other settings.
When you half press the shutter release, the auto-focus system will choose a focus point. Depending on the camera settings, a green rectangle will appear to show you where focus was obtained. If the camera cannot obtain focus, the rectangle will turn red.
On the mode dial, Canon has placed the Program, Auto, Easy, Portrait, Landscape, Night Snapshot, Kids & Pets, Indoor, SCN, and Movie shooting modes. This allows the user to quickly change to one of these modes at any time.
With the SCeNe mode selected on the mode dial, there are several more shooting modes available: Face Self-Timer, Low Light, Super Vivid, Poster Effect, Beach, Foliage, Snow, Fireworks and Long Shutter.
The 4-way controller works for more than just searching through menus when the camera is in record mode. Each direction also acts as a shortcut. Up controls exposure compensation, right for the flash, down for the self-timer and left for macro shooting.
Movie mode allows you to capture video with sound at VGA (640x480) or QVGA (320x240) resolutions. The 4x optical zoom is not available while you are recording video, but it can be set before hand. A small mic in the front of the camera will record any sounds that take place around the camera while you are recording.
