VERSATILE PICTURE TAKING MODES
With its 14 advanced picture taking modes, the PowerShot A80
ensures you get the effect you want, every time.
■
Auto
– sets all the parameters, so you can just point and shoot.
■
Portrait
– uses a larger aperture for reduced
depth-of-field, bringing the subject into focus
while blurring background.
■
Landscape
– uses a smaller aperture
to capture landscape scenes.
■
Night Scene Mode
– captures background
detail and the subject
with ideal exposure
for both.
■
Fast Shutter Mode
– selects
rapid shutter speeds to let you
freeze fast-moving subjects.
■
Slow Shutter Mode
– selects slow shutter
speeds to let you add motion blur to images.

panoramic photos.
