Multiple
Manual Settings
Many digital cameras claim to have fully manual features when the reality is the
"manual" settings are minor overrides of automatic features. With the Pro90
IS, however, photographers have true manual control over shutter speeds, apertures,
focusing and even the camera's metering pattern. In addition, the Pro90 IS provides
an Image Zone setting offering a series of pre-programmed exposure modes for specific
shooting situations.
Manual settings available with the PowerShot Pro90 IS include:
| 1. | Manual Exposure for complete control over shutter speeds and apertures. The Pro90 IS is capable of recording exposures up to 8 seconds when the camera is set to shutter-priority AE or manual mode. |
| Manual Focus for extreme close-ups and low-contrast scenes. | |
| 2. | Exposure Compensation, Flash Exposure Compensation and Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB) up to +/-2EV in 1/3-step increments. AEB allows photographers to make three exposures (normal, over and under according to the camera's meter) with a single release of the shutter. |
| 3. | Spot Metering for effective exposure control in backlit situations and other adverse shooting conditions. |
| 4. | AF/AE Lock allows photographers to lock in the focus point and exposure for a specific area of a scene, then recompose and shoot without losing the settings. |
| 5. | 7-mode White Balance, including daylight, flash, overcast, tungsten and fluorescent as well as automatic and custom. |
| 6. | Five Flash Control Modes including On, Off, Auto, Auto with Red-Eye Reduction and Forced Flash with Red-Eye Reduction. |
