WHITE BALANCE AND

ISO CONTROL

To ensure the perfect exposure in any situation, the PowerShot G5 offers the characteristics of virtually every type of film in traditional photography. With a total of 9 white balance settings, including automatic, six preset, and two custom positions, it can adjust for almost any lighting condition. It also offers a choice of ISO ratings, from ISO equivalents of 50 – 400. A neutral density filter setting allows for slower shutter speeds in extremely bright situations. Long-exposure noise reduction is automatically applied to any images 1.3 seconds or longer.
