Bought this CANON PowerShot A75 camera in Dubai in 2005. GREAT camera and takes absolutely wonderful photos and videos.
Something went wrong with it while on holiday in Europe in 2006 and was forced to by another camera(also a CANON) on holiday and taht in EUROS!!
Haven't had the time or energy to take it in to fix. Just now selling all loose stuff in house.
The A75 provides a full range of exposure control, from full Manual to full Auto exposure modes, and more than a handful of preset scene modes as well. The first five exposure modes are accessed by turning the Mode dial on top of the camera. Canon divided the dial into three exposure types: Auto, Creative Zone, and Image Zone. Shooting in Auto mode puts the camera in charge of everything except the Flash and Macro modes. Exposure modes in the Creative Zone include Program AE (P), Shutter Speed-Priority AE (Tv), Aperture-Priority AE (Av), and Manual Exposure (M). Program AE lets the camera choose the aperture and shutter speed settings, but gives you control over all other exposure options. Aperture and Shutter Speed Priority modes allow you to set one exposure variable (aperture or shutter speed) while the camera chooses the best corresponding variable. Manual mode gives you full control over all exposure options.
Exposure modes in the Image Zone include Portrait, Landscape, Night Scene, Fast Shutter, Slow Shutter, Scene (SCN), Stitch Assist, and Movie. Portrait, Night Scene, and Landscape all make automatic camera adjustments to optimize settings for specific shooting conditions. The Portrait mode uses a large aperture setting to focus on the subject, while maintaining an out-of-focus background. Landscape mode slows the shutter speed and maximizes depth of field with a small aperture setting. Night Scene mode illuminates your subject with flash and uses a slow shutter speed to evenly expose the background. Fast Shutter mode uses a fast shutter speed to freeze action, while Slow Shutter mode uses a slower shutter speed to blur moving objects (such as waterfalls or fountains). The new Scene (SCN) mode allows access to Foliage, which enhances green and red; Snow, which helps bias exposure for bright snow; Beach, which does the same thing for sandy backgrounds; Fireworks, whose use needs no explanation; Underwater, which adjusts settings for use with the optional WP-DC30 Waterproof Case; and Indoor, which seeks to prevent camera shake and maintain colors when used under fluorescent and tungsten lighting. The Stitch-Assist mode is Canon's answer to panorama shooting, in which multiple, overlapping images can be captured horizontally, vertically, or in a clockwise grouping. Images are then "stitched" together on a computer using Canon's bundled PhotoStitch software or other image editing software. Movie mode allows you to capture up to three minutes of moving images and sound at approximately 15 frames per second, with available resolutions of 640 x 480, 320 x 240, or 160 x 120 pixels.
