Genuine Canon f/2.0, 28mm, 3.8x wide-angle lens

Developed using the same processes and high-quality standards employed to

manufacture Canon’s range of EF lenses, the PowerShot S95 benefits greatly from

Canon’s heritage in lens design, capturing sharp, high resolution images with every

shot. A wide f/2.0 maximum aperture allows twice as much light to reach the sensor as

an f/2.8 lens, which is already considered to be a bright lens. A wider aperture makes it

possible to achieve faster shutter speeds and helps prevent blurred images that can

occur in low light conditions. It also allows for a shallower depth of field to be obtained

at closer focusing distances for a more artistic effect.

Lens Control Ring

The PowerShot S95 features a highly intuitive lens Control Ring situated at the base of

the lens barrel. This provides an easy and convenient way to manually adjust a range of

camera settings as it can be freely turned left or right to adjust settings such as ISO,

aperture, shutter speed, white balance, manual focus and step zoom.

Allowing higher levels of customisation, the PowerShot S95 allows the user to pre-set

the operation of the lens Control Ring and rear Multi-Control Dial in the various

shooting modes. For example, in Av mode the lens Control Ring controls the aperture

by default, but this can be changed to control the ISO, white balance or exposure

compensation, and users can then use the Multi-Control Dial to adjust the aperture.

Settings for each shooting mode can be saved to a custom mode that tailors the usage

of the Control Ring and dial to the photographer’s preference.

The lens Control Ring can also be used to great effect in creative shooting modes. For

example, in Nostalgic mode the lens Control Ring can be used to ‘age’ a photograph,

progressively de-saturating the image in steps and adding film-like noise to create an

older photo look, in real time.

HS System

The PowerShot S95 features the HS System, which represents a powerful combination

of a high-sensitivity sensor and high-performance DIGIC 4 processor, and is designed to
