Instructions for use of Canon IXUS2 10

1, custom key layout:

Because Canon IXUS2 10 adopts full touch operation, the positions of function buttons on the shooting interface can be adjusted at will. As you can see from the video above, there is an option to set the button layout in the main menu. After being selected, the position distribution of the buttons on the left and right sides can be adjusted at will, or selected according to your own template. Just press the button and drag it to the corresponding position. After the adjustment, select the exit key or press the shutter key to quickly switch to the shooting interface.

2. Operation methods of different focusing functions:

Canon IXUS2 10 has two autofocus frame modes to choose from in the main menu. You can choose smart face priority and framing focus, and the size of the focus frame can also be adjusted. When choosing smart face priority mode, you can not only recognize faces quickly, but also select the objects to be tracked by clicking on the screen.

The focus mode of the fixed frame is central focus by default, and it also supports clicking on the optional focus point. In addition, the size of the focusing frame can be selected at this time, which is helpful for accurate focusing. With the touch screen, it is quite fun to select the focus and click directly on the screen.

3. Introduction of picture playing function:

Canon IXUS2 10, like previous generations, has some interesting settings in the picture playback function. As can be seen from the above operation video, the number of pictures displayed on the screen can be easily adjusted by using the zoom lever, and at most 130 pictures can be displayed on one screen. In addition, you can use the touch screen to slide and switch pictures. According to the different sliding speed, there are different display interfaces, so that you can find what you want in the display interface faster when you slide quickly.

In addition, you can also enjoy the photos taken slowly through the slides, and press the FUNC key to select the slides while the pictures are playing. * * * There are six switching modes, some of which are novel and interesting.

4, special effects filter effect shooting skills

Compared with the previous generation, Canon IXUS2 10 has many more functions, and it is also the most worthwhile place for Canon IXUS2 10 to try. The effects of various photo filters can create different styles of images. For card cameras, high playability may be more important than excellent imaging.

1) Creative lighting effects:

Canon's creative lighting effect has long existed, and IXUS2 10 also has this function. This function is suitable for shooting point light sources at night and can be converted into preset patterns. Select creative lighting effect in the mode menu to start shooting, and the pattern and size in the lower left corner can be set by yourself. Canon IXUS2 10 provides six creative patterns. Before pressing the shutter, the image will not have the preview effect after processing, and the final effect can only be seen after shooting.

2) Fisheye effect:

Fisheye effect is a new shooting mode of Canon IXUS2 10. As can be seen in the operation video, the fisheye lens effect has three levels of simulation effects that can be adjusted. The higher the level, the greater the distortion and the worse the picture quality in the center of the picture. It is not recommended to use it at the highest level. With this function, you can use wide-angle shooting from a height down, and photos with a strong sense of spatial perspective can make the deformation of the subject more exaggerated.

3) miniature landscape effect:

Miniature landscape effect is also a new scene mode in Canon IXUS2 10. By simulating the effect of shifting lens, things in real life can be more modeled. As can be seen from the above operation video, in the miniature landscape effect mode, the clear range and its position in the picture can be set at will by clicking the position in the picture, and the size of the clear range can be operated simply by clicking the resize button. Turning on this function is suitable for shooting environmental themes such as architecture, and as high as possible, obvious model effects can be obtained.

Step 5 shoot at night

Night shooting is not what consumer cameras are good at, but the new product launched by Canon this year has a slow shutter mode, which can be exposed for a long time and is very useful for city night shooting.

In the shooting mode menu of Canon IXUS2 10, there are two modes suitable for shooting night scenes, namely night scene shooting and slow shutter. As can be seen from the notes, IXUS2 10 night scene mode is used to shoot night portraits, and the flash is turned on by default, and the shutter speed is limited to the slowest 1/8 seconds, which is far from meeting the exposure time required for night scene shooting. So Canon also provides a slow shutter mode, providing 660.

In the slow shutter mode, the shooting interface cancels the exposure compensation button and selects the exposure duration instead. However, after pressing the FUNC button, you can still manually set common parameters such as white balance and ISO. When shooting city night scenes, the general lighting is incandescent lamps. At this time, it will feel more appropriate to choose automatic white balance color temperature, which is not suitable for directly using incandescent lamp or manual white balance mode, and the overall picture is easy to turn blue.

It is a good choice to choose a long exposure time for shooting night scenes. When shooting, set ISO to the minimum ISO80 to ensure the purity of the picture. The exposure time needs to be judged according to the actual light. If the sky is not completely dark, you can use an exposure time of 1-2 seconds. When taking a completely dark night photo, you can use an exposure time of 4-8 seconds, depending on the brightness of the shot picture.

Use a tripod to shoot the night scene to avoid vibration. At this point, you can turn off the anti-shake function of the camera and select the image stabilizer mode as Off in the main menu. Can be used in conjunction with a 2-second selfie to prevent vibration caused by operation. Canon IXUS2 10 provides the longest exposure time 15 seconds, which is suitable for shooting the track of light driving on the road. When shooting, you can also block the lens with obstacles when there is not much traffic, and remove the pictures you don't want to shoot. Ensure the integrity of the final lamp track, and cover the lens when the strong light is direct to avoid overexposure of the photo.

6, indoor shooting

The requirement of indoor shooting is not much lower than that of night shooting, which is also the reason of poor light. If you want to ensure the purity of the picture, you need to use a tripod as an aid to use a low ISO, or choose a high ISO hand-held shooting at the expense of image quality. Similarly, due to the dark indoor light, it is necessary to turn on the focusing auxiliary light to assist focusing, and set the corresponding options in the main menu.

Another problem of indoor shooting is the color temperature. Generally speaking, indoor lighting is mostly yellow or red, so it is necessary to calibrate the white balance of the camera to restore the color. Canon IXUS2 10 has the function of manual white balance. Compared with other consumer cameras, the setting of manual white balance is not complicated. After the manual white balance is turned on, just aim the center frame at the white object on site and press the evaluation white balance key to calibrate the white balance, and then use the manual white balance.

The above is a detailed description of the usage of Canon ixus2 10. Those who can't use or plan to start with this card camera should study hard! Canon ixus2 10 is Canon's first full touch card digital camera. Although there are some shortcomings in the design, the overall performance is still good. Bian Xiao just explained how to use some main functions of Canon ixus2 10 today, and there are many interesting functions that need friends to explore slowly!
