A control ring for intuitive manual control, built for the way the serious photographer has always accessed exposure control. Focus, Exposure, ISO, Step Zoom, or White Balance can now be adjusted more rapidly and with greater convenience. Located at the base of the lens barrel, the ring enables you to select your preferences for which functions get assigned to it in different shooting modes.

Autofocus is TTL

A 5x optical zoom with Optical Image Stabilizer, plus a 24 mm wide-angle lens gets you close to your subjects as well as capture more in your frame.

Utilizes Canon's Intelligent IS with six different modes to compensate for angular and shift camera shake during shooting: Normal, Macro, Panning, Dynamic, Powered and Tripod mode help give you crisp, blur-free images in various shooting situations. For still images, the camera automatically selects the best option from the Normal, Panning, Macro (Hybrid) and Tripod IS modes, while in video capture, it chooses from Dynamic, Powered, Macro and Tripod IS. Normal mode corrects for a wide range of camera movement, while Panning ensures that IS does not interfere with desired camera movement. Macro or Hybrid mode corrects for shift-type camera shake, which typically happens during macro (close-up) shooting. Dynamic mode works best for wide-angle focal lengths, getting rid of unwanted shaking that typically occurs while walking. In Powered mode, the S100 corrects for hand movement when shooting video at the telephoto end of the zoom range, where the camera shake effect is magnified. Tripod mode temporarily disables the Image Stabilizer, because it is no longer needed.

Full range of shooting and recording modes including RAW + JPEG for the ultimate creative control. Also, with 33 shooting / special scene modes, you're ready for whatever shot comes your way.

Best Image Selection--easy way to get great results almost every time you take a picture. When you press the shutter release, the camera will quickly shoot a series of five images, then assess them for any unwanted facial movements and camera shake. Out of the five images, the camera will select and save the best one. Image resolution is 1984 x 1488 pixels when shooting with Best Image Selection.

Face Detection and Smart Shutter--Face Detection technology makes it easy for you to take great photos of people. The camera will automatically detect the face(s) in a frame to give it optimal focus, exposure, flash (if needed) and white balance. Smart Shutter adds fun and convenience to Face Detection, since you can set the camera to release the shutter when someone winks, smiles or even enters the frame.

Shooting Modes

Smart AUTO--the camera automatically selects the best shooting settings for optimal quality based on subjects and environmental factors to provide point-and-shoot simplicity.

P (Program)--access advanced exposure compensation features while shooting mostly automatically. Get 2.3 shots/sec. continuous shooting.

Tv (Shutter-priority)--you select the shutter speed to stop or blur action, and the camera finds the appropriate aperture. With slow exposure times, Canon's noise reduction system activates to ensure low image noise.

Av (Aperture-priority)--you define the aperture to either isolate your subject or have clarity throughout the entire picture, and the camera will choose the corresponding shutter speed.

M (Manual)--the ultimate in creative control, you set both aperture and shutter speed manually.

C (Custom)--define and store your own settings to achieve the effects you prefer.

Movie Digest--record a video clip up to approx. 4 sec before capturing a still image and then combine a day's worth of clips into a video. How? The camera continuously records a "loop" of video up to 4 sec long into a space on the memory card reserved for this feature. Every time you capture a still photo, the video clip residing in memory at that time is added to a file that will eventually become the day's highlights video. The following day, the camera will start a new video file. Movie Digest does not affect regular video shooting, so you can use it and still switch between still and video capture as desired. Version 6.8 or later of the included ZoomBrowser EX (for Windows) and ImageBrowser (for Mac OS) software lets you freely select and delete unwanted scenes from your Movie Digest videos. Movie Digest videos are recorded at VGA resolution at 30 fps.
