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.   Night - fires the flash at the start of the exposure to illuminate nearby subjects, then leaves the shutter open for up to four seconds to capture the detail of illuminated subjects.   Portrait - always fires the flash giving well-balanced exposures for subjects. The lens focal length adjusts to give a constant magnification for half-length portraits.   Close-up - allows focusing at distances less than 0.45 metres (using ISO 100) shots can be taken at distances up to infinity.   Personal - allows users to create their own Best Shot mode with settings such as flash mode and single point AF or continuous shootings to suit the situation. These settings are retained even if the batteries are removed. The "Best Shot" functions automatically select 3-point AiAF, one point central or Servo AF settings to provide the best focusing method for different situations. The Light Guide flash system, introduced for the first time on the IXUS Z70, is more efficient than normal flash systems and, being smaller, is incorporated into the sleek design of the camera to slide out automatically when the camera is turned on. The flash extends horizontally when the camera is switched on and slides back when it is switched off. It will cover subjects up to 4.1 metres away at wide-angle settings and 2.4 metres with telephoto settings (using ISO 100 film). The recycling time is approximately 3 seconds. The Prima Super 120 also features red-eye reduction, self-timer, automatic exposure compensation of +/- 1.5 and dioptric adjustment of the viewfinder from -3 to 0 dioptric. A Real Time release function allows for a shutter release time of just 0.06 seconds - ideal for unexpected photo opportunities.   Caption Model Printing of the date or time in the bottom right hand corner of photographs using the built-in automatic calendar/clock (up to the year 2029) is possible with a Prima Super 120 caption model. Three variations of date/month/year setting are available, together with date/hour/minute. In addition, the Prima Super 120 caption model allows users to print one of five pre-set captions (in four languages) onto their photographs. Both caption and date can be printed together or the printing facility can be turned off. The print option is indicated on the LCD panel on the back of the camera. | 1 | 2 |
