Face Detection to keep portraits in focus
Face Detection is very handy for shooting larger groups and scenes where faces might get lost against a detailed background. The sensor recognises faces as faces and automatically adjusts the exposure, white balance and flash settings to show skin tones at their best. Up to 8 faces can be recognised in any scene.
The high sensitivity sensor enables great pictures in low light
The S950’s sensor is measured at ISO 3200 so is highly sensitive to light and can automatically provides clear images in low light conditions, such as indoors or at twilight. On top of that, there are six pre–set options for you to quickly choose the best settings for a particular type of scene.
Retouch shots on the move
If you can want to improve your shot right there and then, you can even perform simple retouching operations in camera without needing to download the image to your PC — such as cropping, altering exposure or removing red–eye.

SteadyShot to reduce picture blur
If you are shooting with the camera in your hand, there is always a danger of handshake spoiling your picture, even if your subject is stationary. To avoid this problem, the S950 takes two shots at the same time at high shutter speed and combines them for one bright, blur free image — all you have to do is press the shutter once.
