IXUS 950 / SD850 (Digic III)[]

The SCN values for my IXUS 950 IS seem to be a bit different (also the names here are translated):

16395 Night Snapshot    
16397 Portrait    
16400 Kids&Animals    
16401 indoor mode    
16402 Leaves    
16403 Snow     
16404 beach    
16911 "Creative Light Effect" (makes light spots in the image to weird things)

additionally when switching SCN modes pcase 227 jumps between 1 and 0. Maybe its the ND Filter?

  • Propcase #227 seems to be the "long shutter" indicator:
it's 1 always in "Night snapshot" scene mode & when the exp. time is >= 1s (Digic III, tested with SD870)Fe50 21:27, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
