Continuous Shooting
◆ In high speed mode the S50 can record
5 successive images at 2.5 fps, and 9
images at 1.5 fps in standard mode
◆ For added convenience it offers 2- and
10-second self-timer modes.
Exposure Modes
◆ Features Program AE, Shutter Priority,
Aperture Priority and Manual mode with
LCD screen metering readout as well a
variety of shooting modes for added
convenience:
—Auto mode sets all parameters for you
—Portrait mode automatically sets a
larger aperture to achieve minimum
depth-of-field for a blurred background.
—Landscape mode sets the optimum
aperture for expanded depth-of-field
from foreground to background while
continuing to focus on the main subject.
—Night Scene mode properly exposes the
foreground subject with flash and sets a
slow shutter speed for correct exposure
of illuminated backgrounds.
—High-speed shutter mode sets the cor-
rect shutter speed to stop the action of
the fastest moving subjects or objects.
—Slow shutter mode (as slow as 15 sec.)
sets the correct shutter speed to cap-
ture the motion of moving objects and
give images a dramatic blur effect. Also
convenient for low light situations.
Conveniences
◆ Add “captions” to images with recorded
voice memos up to a minute long. While
viewing each shot in replay mode, you
can record any comments.
◆ Customize the sound made for startup,
shutter, self-timer and other operations.
◆ Setup function in 12 languages makes
life easy for as many people as possible.
◆ Manual focus is made easier by display-
ing a numerically indexed distance scale
on the LCD monitor. Additionally, the
portion of the image covered by the
active focusing point is digitally
enlarged to ensure maximum focusing
precision.
◆ Great-looking sliding lens cover allows
you to switch instantly between shoot-
ing, playback and power off modes.

DirectPrint
Connect directly to Canon’s CP-200 and CP-300 Card Photo Printers to produce credit card
or post card size prints in three easy steps: connect, select and print. Control the printer
right from your camera’s LCD monitor. Bordered and borderless options are available.
For large-format printing, Canon’s Bubble Jet Direct Photo Printers let you print directly
via the supplied cable, or by inserting the CF memory card with the supplied adapter.
Print high resolution borderless images in post card size or 8.5 x 11˝ size in minutes.
DiG!C and iSAPS Technology
◆ Proprietary DIGIC (Digital Imaging Integrated Circuit) image processor combines the
jobs of image processing and camera function control into one chip. Because it was
specifically designed for use in digital cameras, it is also capable of handling JPEG
compression/expansion; memory card control; LCD/Video control and processing; gain
control (control of CCD signal amplification); Auto Exposure; Auto Focus; Auto White
Balance control and most other functions of the camera. The result is a product that
offers faster and more powerful auto focus than ever before, faster image processing,
longer battery life, and the ability to record three-minute movie clips with sound.
◆ DIGIC’s high-speed processing enables Canon’s exclusive iSAPS (an acronym for
Intelligent Scene Analysis based on Photographic Space) technology that improves
picture quality by “predicting” certain camera settings like focusing distance, exposure
and optimum white balance based on zoom focal length, overall light level and tonal
distribution data. With iSAPS, the PowerShot S50 can analyze a scene just before the
image is made and in doing so, increase the speed and precision of the camera’s
autofocus, auto exposure and auto white balance. The result is high-quality images and
fast response to help capture the “decisive moment.”
Take Full Control
When you want it, the camera hands you
complete creative control. You’ll find white
balance presets with 2 positions for custom
settings, exposure and focus bracketing,
manual focus and AF Lock, aperture and
shutter speed priority, AE Lock, ±exposure
compensation, full manual exposure control
and ISO-equivalent sensitivity.
Also capable of displaying a histogram of the image on the LCD monitor. This allows
you to check the overall exposure of each photo. Plus, if any portion of the photo is
grossly overexposed, warning signals are displayed.
