The powerful PowerShot G2 was designed for creative digital photographers who demand high precision images. Three Auto-focus modes (including continuous and single) and 3 selectable AF points with 12 shooting modes (including Program AE, Shutter priority AE, Aperture priority AE and fully manual exposure control) means the PowerShot G2 always meets the photographers demands and requirements. Advanced image capture controls include a histogram exposure graph for image evaluation (as seen on the Canon EOS D30) that allows the photographer to see if an image is correctly exposed. Early indication of excess light or darkness allows exposure settings to be changed to obtain an optimal result. The histogram is displayed on the PowerShot G2's vari-angle LCD monitor that twists and swivels to provide the most convenient viewing angle adding flexibility when shooting in difficult or awkward situations. Flash exposure compensation prevents users underexposing or over exposing the photograph. Users can set flash exposure compensation up to +/-2 stops in 1/3 stop increments. The PowerShot G2 provides Auto Exposure Bracketing which takes three shots bracketed automatically within the set range. This method enables the camera to take 3 pictures with 3 different exposure settings giving the user a full choice of photographs. The shots are bracketed up to +/-2 stops at 1/3 stop increments.
