Canon Powershot Manual Mode
How do i take a picture of the lunar eclipse with my Canon Powershot S2 Digital Camera?

I have a pretty decent digital camera, nothing spectacular, but when i have taken the pictures on manual mode with tripod, they still turn out blurry. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks in advance. The camera has 12x optical zoom with equivalent of 36-432 mm)

Mount to tripod

Zoom all the way out

Place in “Landscape” mode. (or Infinite Focus)

Use Spot Meter mode.

Center moon.

Trip with Self-Timer

Better hurry, it is about half out of shadow now.

How do I use the movie mode in my Canon A70 powershot digital camera?

I’m away in another country and don’t have my user manual. Can anyone tell me how to use the “movie mode” feature in my Canon A70Powershot digital camera? I know to turn the wheel to the movie camera selection of course, but then I believe there are a couple of steps to initiate and then stop the movie taking mode, -thanks for any help!

Yes, you need to turn the mode dial to the little movie camera icon…and then you simply press the shutter button half way down to get your exposure, white balance and focus settings…then press it all the way down to start recording.
And just press the shutter button again to stop recording.
