- Auto The camera chooses all the settings so you can concentrate on your subject.

- Av Aperture-priority You define the aperture to either isolate your subject or have clarity throughout the entire picture, and the camera will choose the corresponding shutter speed.

- Indoor Reduce blur and improve color accuracy when shooting handheld indoors.
- Kids & Pets Reduced focusing time freezes fast-moving subjects, so you won't miss those special shots.

I have used the camera for about a month and taken hundreds of photos, mostly in the "auto" mode, although there is almost no limit to the available settings. Unfortunately, many of these settings need a navigation of the menu system, which must be studied in advance of any serious shooting. I have found that the "auto" mode is uncannily capable of producing images that require a minimum, if any, Photoshop editing. This is no doubt due to the latest Canon image processor which, among other capabilities, usually produces an "auto levels" image with great automatic white balance, and excellent colors. Perhaps the most stringest test I gave the camera was to take several hand held photos using 4X optical plus 4X digital zoom of the home plate action at a major league baseball game from a seat at the top level of the stands. These 16X images were quite usable, even showing the baseball leaving the bat.
While there are a number of competitive cameras in this size range, and even smaller, very few have an optional optical viewfinder that is essential under sunlit conditions. I also own such a camera, but was totally frustrated in my attempts to use it under these conditions, as it has no optional optical viewfinder.
You will not be disappointed if you buy this camera, and I don't have any connection with Canon!
