This book, a complete guide to the operation and features of the
Canon PowerShot S100 digital camera, is a follow-up to the author's
earlier guides to advanced compact digital cameras. The new book
explains all operations, features, menus, and controls of the
PowerShot S100 camera in clear language, providing guidance not
only about how to accomplish things with the camera, but when and
why to use certain features. The book does not assume any
specialized knowledge by the reader, but clearly explains topics
such as autofocus, manual focus, depth of field, aperture priority,
shutter priority, HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography, white
balance, ISO, and macro photography. The book gives details about
how to take advantage of the camera's varied array of "Scene" and
"Creative Filters" shooting settings. The guide's more than 200
photographs, almost all in full color, provide illustrations of the
camera's controls and menus, and also include examples of the
various types of photographs that can be taken using the many
creative settings of the camera, including the Creative Filters
settings, which let the photographer alter the color processing and
other aspects of images; various menu options such as i-Contrast
and digital zoom; and the camera's strong set of features for
continuous shooting. In addition, the book goes beyond the realm of
everyday photography, providing introductions to more advanced
topics such as infrared photography, street photography, and
creating 3D (three-dimensional) images that can be viewed with
conventional red and blue 3D glasses. The book also includes a full
discussion of the video recording abilities of the PowerShot S100,
which can record high-definition (HD) video with stereo sound and
can take "Super Slow Motion" movies that slow down action by a
factor of eight. In three appendices, the book provides information
about accessories available for the camera, including cases, filter
adapters, and external flash units; sets forth a list of useful web
sites and other resources for further information; and includes a
section with helpful "quick tips" that give particular insights
into how to take advantage of the camera's features in the most
efficient ways possible. The book includes a detailed Table of
Contents and a full Index, so the reader can quickly find needed
information about any particular feature or aspect of the camera.
