The operation otherwise is very intuitive and can be found in the menus cope quickly that this actually quite logical and descriptive enough, the little pictures to see which setting possibility is behind it. The manual mode the camera can also convince since he is quite extensive for a compact camera. I especially like this is that you can illuminate at night up to 15 seconds and therefore can conjure up very horny pictures.
The battery lasts for about 200 to 250 images, which is why I have not ordered a spare battery from Canon to.
If one is often photographed with flash turn out the maximum number of pictures per charge probably lower.
For lightning I can fairly say little, except that he is sufficient for smaller spaces. I photograph personally reluctant to flash. That is also the reason why me the positioning of the flash on the camera does not interfere with the upper left corner, because I just let there my finger on it, then he does not go on.
All in all a highly recommended camera that I can put all my heart. I would buy again.
