How to use a Canon PowerShot A590 IS ?

Dec 10, 2008 by Whispered-remorse Blair | Posted in Photography

I've recently bought a Canon PowerShot A590 IS camera and i don't know how to take awesome pictures with it. I will use it on this friday and need to know how to take black and white pics and beautiful pics at night.
Can you please give me some tips, advices and all??

(i've got the manual about how to use it but i'm soo busy :S)

Hi -- I have a Canon S1 IS. It has similar settings as your Powershot. You know, with B/W pics, I would just take everything in color with the camera. Then later in Photoshop Elements or whatever your photo editor is, you can easily change the photo to 'greyscale', which is black and white. You can even make it sepia-color, like the old tin types.

For night shots, there should be a night mode on the camera -- the icon looks like a moon and/or stars. Try that.

Actually, I wrote a quick "how to" on using the different 'modes' on a camera. You could take a look there and see if any of it helps.

Better camera - Canon Powershot A590 IS or Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ7?

Jul 28, 2008 by Trixi | Posted in Cameras

I am planning to buy one of these two cameras and having a hard time deciding between them. They are very similar. I simply want nice photos to e-mail or print 4x6. I take a lot of shots in lower light conditions because my husband plays in a band. I also need good quality video and sound.

Thanks!

The Panasonic is much sturdier than the Canon. My Panasonic was accidentally dropped (not by me) and fortunately it is still working. Like any camera, one should get used to reading the manual - in the end it will save you some headaches. Panasonic has a better lens (Leica).
In my research, there are more Canon fatality than Panasonic.

Panasonic shoots at 30 fps vs Canon's 20 fps (30 is better).
Unfortunately, they do poorly in low light. You can increase the ISO for a better photo. Sounds, well they are both in the inexpensive side so, you get what you pay for. Panasonic though has better video.

how do i get the different color modes to work on my Canon PowerShot a590 IS?

Dec 27, 2008 by Amber B | Posted in Cameras

when im on the func menu it skips over the color changer and two other options. How do I fix this?

I'm guessing you have the dial set to one of the scene/auto/easy modes, which won't let you change the colour setting. You can only do that in the manual modes. Just turn the dial to "P", and experiment away! ;-)

Does anyone know how long the battery life is in the Canon Powershot A590 digital camera?

Actually, I have not decided on the A590 yet. Although, I am most likely going to buy a Canon. I am trying to decide between the Powershot SD 1000 Elph (if it is still available) and the A590.

Depends mainly on how heavily you're using the LCD and flash.

Using alkalines and the industry-defined "average" usage averages about 200 shots.

Taking available-light pictures with the LCD turned off and using the viewfinder you can get nearly 1000. (Using the viewfinder instead of composing pictures in the LCD also reduces blurry pictures due to camera shake.)

why is the picture quality so bad with my canon powershot a590 IS?

May 10, 2008 by Autumn | Posted in Cameras

i just bought this camera today, and on the screen it looks good, but when i upload them to my computer it looks like they are in a VERY low quality jpeg format. Is there anyway i can change it? or should i just take back the camera and get something better?

the manual tells you step by step
I have 4 canons
read and re-read the manual

Can i use a Canon Powershot A590 as a webcam?

Feb 08, 2009 by Julie | Posted in Cameras

I was wondering if i could just use my camera for right now. If i can use my camera would you mind telling me how i would do it? Thanks!

No, most digital cameras are not designed to be used as webcams.
So, you will need to buy a webcam.

How good are the microphones on a Canon Powershot A590 camera?

Feb 03, 2009 by ragebassmasta | Posted in Cameras

The A590IS with 8mp.

They are pretty good but not great. If you are taking a movie of someone speaking, just make sure the camera (and it's mic) are close to the person speaking. This is especially important if there is a lot of background noise when you are recording. If you are close and you are recording in a quiet place, the mic will work pretty well.

Thanks !

Information and Review on the Canon PowerShot A590 IS?

Apr 23, 2008 by Tristian | Posted in Cameras

What type of SD card does it use? Do you like this camera? If not, what would you suggest for around the same price?

The A590 is an excellent little camera. Here's the conclusion from an in-depth review: http://www.steves-digicams.com/2008_reviews/canon_a590is_pg5.html
Early on in that review you can read the specs, including storage type. The A590 can use SD/SDHC Memory Card, MultiMediaCard, MMC Plus Card, and HC MMC Plus Card (pick any 1).

What memory card is compatible with the Canon Powershot A590 IS?

Dec 26, 2008 by David D | Posted in Cameras

Any SD memory card ... that is up to 2 GB. They have been selling for about $11 these past few weeks.

Your camera will also use SDHC cards (4 GB and higher), but putting all those eggs in one basket, is not advised.
