Datasheet

SHUTTER PRIORITY AE*
In this mode you can freeze a moving subject
or create a blurred, flowing effect by controlling
the shutter speed. The camera automatically
selects the best aperture based on the
available light.
CUSTOM
The PowerShot S70 and S60 have a
custom mode where you can save your
own combination of settings for future
use. This allows for a quick set-up time,
meaning you’re less likely to miss those
once-in-a-lifetime shots.
STITCH ASSIST
Using the supplied PhotoStitch software, this feature lets you shoot a sequence of up to 26 images and then merge
them together into a larger image to create long panoramas.
MOVIE
This mode lets you shoot up to 3 minutes
of movie footage, with sound, at 15 frames
per second (10 frames per second in VGA).
You can then play it back and edit it
instantaneously using the camera’s LCD.
PROGRAM AE
The camera automatically
sets both the shutter speed
and aperture. You control all
the other parameters such
as white balance and flash.
MANUAL
When you want complete control, this
allows you to set all the parameters for
your shot, including aperture, shutter
speed and focus.
APERTURE PRIORITY AE*
You control the depth-of-field with this mode by setting
the aperture. The camera then automatically selects the
appropriate shutter speed for perfect exposure.
* Switching on the safety shift function when in Aperture Priority AE or
Shutter Priority AE Mode protects against over or underexposure by
automatically shifting the settings to compensate for the shooting
conditions. The settings will only be shifted as far as necessary in
order to stay as close to your intended effect as possible.
