You don't have to actually select Movie mode on the Mode dial to use it, however. You can just press the Movie button whenever you see some action you want to capture; the Canon SX20 will then use the last mode selected in the Function menu.
Menu System. The Canon controls and menu system are comfortable to use once you learn how to play the game which seems to change a little on each model. After you pick a Record mode, just hit the Function button to see your shooting options. Hit the Menu button for general camera setup options any time. I did like the Help system, which simply displays a useful line of text at the bottom of the Menu system screens.
It's unobtrusive but there if you need it. And it can be disabled. It never got in my way so I left it on. You'll get about minutes of playback time with a full charge on the same Ni-MH batteries. I used the four Panasonic alkalines included with the Canon SX They're rated for shots or minutes of playback.
That's not bad, but we recommend purchasing some Eneloop-style NiMH rechargeable batteries, often called pre-charged batteries, for longer life. Make sure you buy newer cells. The same card will hold x movies at 30 frames per second or x movies at 30 fps. And a HD movie at 1, x and 30 fps can go An 8GB card will hold Image quality from my shoots was, in general, very satisfying.
But "in general" skips over some unhappy experiences. I did make sure to enable auto i-Contrast in the Camera menu to preserve shadow detail. With only one Auto setting, though, I had trouble indoors.
I toured a printing plant and took both stills and video. The plant was well lit, like any office, but exposures in Programmed Auto left the shutter open too long to capture people just standing around scratching their heads. It seems to me that if you've already got ISO maxed out at and you have shot past any reasonable handholdable shutter speed, you should open up the aperture. The solution was to manually set ISO to Same focal length as before: 5.
While I could detect noise even at thumbnail sizes, the color was good if somewhat suppressed. Not the usual crystal clear shots. Later, when I took some landscapes before sunset, I noticed a warm color cast that seemed to go too far, making the image look like it was taken in another era.
I wondered if i-Contrast was tweaking these shots a bit too much. Macro shooting was another problem. Super Macro sets the focal length to wide-angle only, letting you put the lens right up to your subject. But it's a wide wide-angle at 28mm so you don't feel close. More than once I knocked a small item over trying to capture it with Super Macro. Macro wasn't the solution either. Shooting macro was a very frustrating experience with the SX Finding focus in general was an issue.
Quite a few shots simply failed to focus. They aren't in the gallery as a result, but I was disappointed that clear scenes with high contrast caused problems. As the iron fence shots show, I was able to get some nice shots with a beautifully blurred background.
Several different approaches are illustrated, with the Exif pages revealing all. The first shot, at wide-angle with the aperture wide-open kept everything in focus, as wide-angle focal lengths do. The second one, zoomed in a bit but still wide open if not quite as wide does blur the background enough to set off the foreground. But the third one, shot at telephoto was really what I was looking for.
My doll sequence was shot at ISO , , and 1, Detail is strong in all of them. And color is accurate. I was pleasantly surprised. If my morning and evening daylight shots were too warm for my taste the hydrant, with significant blooming at the top of the white knob into the green bush, for example , the ordinary daylight shots were very pleasing.
On a walk along the Embarcadero, I caught a yellow Ferrari taking a break. The full shot and the detail were just what I wanted but a straight on shot of the emblem on the hood was surprisingly out of focus. The mooring ropes in the shade likewise were captured just as I hoped and the white table set with colored place settings was also well done.
