The camera also supports RAW image capture, providing photographers with greater flexibility during post-processing.

In terms of performance, the A650 IS offers an ISO range from 80 to 1600, accommodating shooting in diverse lighting conditions. This range allows for higher sensitivity in dim environments while minimizing noise in images.
