Program AE Mode
Your life happens everywhere, so the HG10 gives you settings that automatically result in the best
exposure settings for different conditions and different subjects.
Portrait mode ensures shallow depth of eld for a pleasing background to your shots of friends and
family. Sports mode stops the action with faster shutter speeds. Night mode is designed to give you
great shots after the sun goes down. Snow and Beach modes compensate for bright surroundings
and give you the proper exposure on your subject. Sunset mode results in vibrant, well-exposed
colors for one of the toughest subjects to capture. Use Spotlight mode when your child is on stage
and in the spotlight — literally — and you want to make sure the exposure is right for them. And
Fireworks mode records brilliant images of another tough subject: the holiday reworks display.
Simultaneous Photo Recording
With the HG10, you can record HD video and capture a 2 Megapixel
photo to a memory card — simultaneously. Simply press the photo
button and you’ve got an email-ready digital photo to share with friends
and family.
Histogram Display
For the advanced digital photographer, the HG10 comes with a
Histogram Display — a feature found in Canon’s line of digital SLR
cameras. The display allows you to see the brightness information of
your still images, so you can adjust your exposures as you shoot.
