P Program
Access advanced exposure compensation features while shooting mostly automatically.

Tv Shutter-priority
You select the shutter speed to stop or blur action, and the camera finds the appropriate aperture. With slow exposure times, Canon's noise reduction system activates to ensure low image noise.

Low Light
For high quality image capture in an amazing range of dimly-lit situations.

Portrait
The camera sets a large aperture, focusing the subject and artistically blurring the background to make your subject "pop."

Landscape
For front to back sharpness, the camera sets a small aperture.

Kids & Pets
Reduced focusing time freezes fast-moving subjects, so you won?t miss those special shots.

Sports
Ensure highly accurate auto focusing when shooting fast-moving subjects.

Smart Shutter
The camera automatically takes the photo when people smile, wink, or get into frame.

Color Swap

High Dynamic Range*

Creates the look and feel of old photographs using sepia tones and saturation.

Fisheye Effect
