Name: PowerShot A1100 IS
Megapixels: 12.1
1) There's an "easy mode" that disables adjustment features and really only lets you use the shutter button (great for letting a little kid take picture)
2) when reveiwing photos on camera, there are multiple display settings, one of which shows you the f-stop, ISO and other stats about each picture
3) There's a "lock" switch on memory cards (I've been using the same memory card for years, and was unaware of this new addition)
4) Green frame appears around focus of photo when shutter button is pushed down half way
5) Camera has face-finding abilities
6) subject may not be in focus if shutter is not pressed down half way before being pressed down all the way
7) Under automatic settings, the camera will sense shooting conditions and subjects on its own
8) You can take a second picture even while an image is displayed by pressing the shutter button
9) Even if detected faces move, they are followed by camera
10) Camera can focus on more than one point
1) I don't understand Program Mode very well...
2) How do I manually adjust the exposure?
3) How do I know which setting to use in which situations?
1) Link on my blog
ReplyDelete2) Does your camera allow you to change ISO, shutter speed, or aperture...All of those will change the amount of "exposure to light" that the camera gets...
3) Experience and experimenting...The different icons are fairly self-explanatory--they adjust lighting conditions for you.
As far as the white balance, keep experimenting with that, but your camera might do it for your just as well with the icons. One never knows until you try all of them.
