Canon SD550 Digital Camera User Manual


 
7
MANUAL
Digital Macro
Allows you to shoot when the distance from the lens (at
maximum wide angle) to the subject is within 5 – 50 cm (2.0
in. – 1.6 ft.).
The subject can be shown larger than in standard macro
mode because the camera trims the image edges and
zooms in with the digital zoom.
Stitch Assist
Allows you to shoot overlapping images that can later be merged (stitched) to
create one panoramic image on a computer.
SPECIAL
SCENE
Portrait
Blurs the
background and
makes a person
stand out.
Night
Snapshot
Allows you to take
snapshots of
people against
twilight or night
backgrounds by
reducing the effects
of camera shake
even without using
a tripod.
Kids&Pets
Allows you to
capture subjects
that move around,
such as children
and pets, without
missing photo
opportunities.
Indoor
Prevents camera
shake and
maintains the
subject's true color
when shooting
under florescent or
tungsten lighting.
Foliage
Shoots trees and
leaves—such as
new growth,
autumn leaves or
blossoms—in vivid
colors.
Snow
Shoots without a
blue tinge and
without making
people appear dark
against a snowy
background.
Beach
Shoots without
making people
appear dark near
water or sand
where reflected
sunlight is strong.
Fireworks
Captures fireworks
in the sky sharply
and at optimal
exposure.
Underwater
Appropriate for shooting images with Waterproof Case
WP-DC80 (sold separately). This mode uses an optimal
white balance setting to reduce bluish tones and record
images with a natural hue. The exposure is regulated to use
the flash as little as possible.
See the Advanced Guide (p. 44).
