New shooting modes include Star mode for capturing the night sky: Star Nightscape will capture stars in a landscape image, while Star Trails will capture trails of stars in a still image; Star Time Lapse Movie will shoot continuous still images of stars and combine them into a video that replicates the motion of the stars in the sky. With the handheld HDR Scene mode multiple shots of a particular scene are combined to create a high dynamic range image without the need for a tripod. This mode includes Natural, Art Bold, Art Embossed, Art Standard and Art Vivid options. The dials and controls on this digital compact camera are styled similarlyt to those on Canon's range of EOS digital SLR cameras.
