Yes you can use all manual or automatic setting. It is not a digital camera, you must use film.

Nope. Once you've set it (turn it on), as I recall, everything is automatic. As with any new touch-screen device it may take awhile for you to get the hang of the menu operation but once you've played with it for a day or two you'll have it down and some of the features are not the kinda stuff that a "regular" point-and-shoot photographer should be playing with anyway....they won't help produce a better shot in the context of how I use the camera, at least. There are about ten settings I even care about and once I've set them, I pretty much forget about them. Hope this is useful to you.

Yes, it is manual. The price wouldnt let it be auto focus. So it is not easy to get a clear image easily. It takes some time and a little practice to focus correctly. Besides you need a good tripode so the camera don't move because the lense is quite heavy. Anyway, the results are ok. I use it with a Nikon D 90

The Pentax has a manual exposure, most film cameras if not all, are manual.

In auto mode it is the equivalent of a point and shoot. Beyond that everything is adjustable and you need to understand the relationship of Fnumbers, shutter speed and ISO settings and their individual effects on your photo. If you wish to go beyond the beginner stage this camera is great because everything can be individually controlled. Otherwise save your money.

This is for manual only. I am using an old Minolta manual lens from the 70s and it works great. You will have to manually set everything, but the quality of pictures is outstanding (because the lens is better glass than the one that comes with my camera kit)

From SD990 Users Manual (p 100): 'You can use the digital zoom, but the optical zoom cannot be used. If you want to shoot at the maximum magnification, you should adjust the zoom to the maximal factor before shooting. The sound from the zoom will be recorded' So really, it is just like many other cheaper P&S cameras, you can only use digitial zoom in movie mode. Digital zoom will degrade image quality considerably. Here is the link to the manual: http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/0300001398/PSSD990IS_IXUS980IS_CUG_EN.pdf

All the early reviews so far have mentioned that they give you full Program, Aperture priority, Shutter priority, and Manual options when shooting video. They even let you use scene effect modes like monochrome while shooting video.So yes, manual controls for video are available. The only limitation I have heard with video (besides no audio-in jack) is that the in-camera Image Stabilization feature is disabled while shooting video. Using a lens that has it's own image stabilization works as expected though.

Yes. In the auto mode there is a setting. It is a fantastic digital. I use mine al the time.

Sure. I have done that but I set the camera to manual and set the exposure time there. This remote has a way to change the exposure time so you may be able to do it all from the remote.

For high quality shots without the color grading learning curve, you can set the camera's dynamic range to "video". It comes with DaVinci for free though and it's well worth learning how to utilize the auto grading feature to take advantage of full range of stops. But if you're looking for something easier...set it to "video" or get the pocket camera version and set that to "video", cheaper all the way around for what you're doing.

No...you have to use ASA to set it, and put the camera in Manual mode...its hard to figure out and to me the pics look very grainy...like on 35mm using asa400 in the daylight...hope this helps
