First introduced on the IXUS cameras of Canon's Advanced Photo System (APS), the hybrid autofocus system employed on the Prima Super 120 switches between active and passive systems to achieve the sharpest image for objects. The hybrid autofocus system combines the advantages of infrared autofocus, which works well at close range and in low light while the passive version can operate through glass and is highly accurate at longer distances.

In addition, the 3-point AiAF autofocus system enables the camera to focus on the desired object, even when it is not in the centre of the frame. Alternatively, single point central AF can also be selected. The "Best Shot" dial has seven settings. Each setting combines different camera modes to give the ideal selection of functions for the subject such as Auto, Action, Night, Portrait, Close-up, Spot and Personal modes.

Full Auto - the ideal setting for snapshots and general photography. It sets AiAF (Artificial Intelligent Autofocus), low brightness flash, automatic backlight adjustment and red-eye reduction. The red-eye mode can be switched off when not required.

Action - the setting for sports photography and fast moving subjects. It uses Servo AF to keep track of the subject and provides continuous shooting at one frame per second to capture the action.
