For maximum versatility a mode dial is included to allow quick setting of 10 shooting modes including special scene modes such as Night, Portrait, Children, Landscape, Close-up, Sunset, Backlight, Fireworks, Dawn and Beach & Snow which help to produce stunning results in difficult lighting conditions by optimising the camera’s white balance, exposure and other settings for specific shooting situations.
As well as offering a full auto mode the camera offers a manual option allowing the more experienced or adventurous user to take control of the settings for complete creativity. The S1030 also features six flash modes and auto-exposure bracketing to ensure that the final photograph is exactly what the photographer wants.

Complete with sound and the option to cut and edit in-camera movies and hundreds of still images can be taken and stored up to 2GB.
Photographers requiring an instant print capability will appreciate the S1030’s compatibility when a successful connection is made between the camera’s USB port and any PictBridge enabled printer.
