Canon-G11-Wind-Filter-Video-Mode-TipHere’s a quick tip for reducing wind noises when you shoot videos in Video Mode using your Canon G11 camera.

While in Video Mode do the following:

1. Click MENU button

2. Browse to Wind Filter (under camera tab) and select ON.

This will suppress noises when the wind is strong. Remember to follow the above steps to turn the Wind Filter back OFF after you’re done filming.

Using the Wind Filter when there’s no wind around, may result with unnatural sounds. The Wind Filter is only available in Video Mode.

Ever wondered what happens when you mount a Canon G11 on a garden mini-train and start shooting in video mode? Probably not.

Someone obviously did. What’s interesting here is how the G11 handles video in motion so well.

This is the Canon PowerShot G11 on a  LGB V52 mini-train.

The Canon G11 comes with special preset modes. The top dial controls the way the G11 takes photographs. Some of the modes are well known from other Canon cameras, such as the P (Program AE), TV (Shutter Priority), AV (Aperture Priority), M (Manual Mode), as well as two custom modes C1, C2.

The G11 comes with two unique special modes – Low Light Mode and Quick Shot Mode.

Canon-G11-Special-Modes

Low Light

Low Light Mode allows you to take photographs in low light conditions. It is indicated by a small candle (located just below the AUTO mode). This mode was introduced to the Canon S90 as well.

Using this mode, the ISO speed will be set automatically between ISO320 and ISO12800. Depending on the scene, the ISO speed will be set higher and the shutter speed faster than in AUTO Mode so that you can shoot in dark places with reduced camera shake and subject blur. Recommended for candlelight or similarly lit scenes.

Quick Shot

Quick Shot Mode is unique to the G11 model. Using this mode you can reduce the shutter lag when taking photographs. This shutter lag, typical in P&S cameras, may interfere when you take shots of sports events or fast moving objects. According to Chip Online , this mode can decrease shutter lag from the usual 0.46 seconds to 0.15 seconds. The shutter lag is referred to the time elapsed since you click the button till the camera takes the photo.
