- This video is going over the layout of the Canon SX70. This is to help those who have purchased the camera, either to introduce them to the buttons and doors, or for someone who has already had the camera but needed a reminder. The more you know, the less you will feel intimidated with the available settings and features!
If you have any questions I did not answer, please let me know in the comments below!

Best 28:50 mins of my life 😂 great in depth review and super easy to follow. Thanks 😊
OMG, you are a saint! This vid has saved my arse many times. I love you detailed explanations. This camera is perfect for this old decaying bird. It takes lovely photos "for my eyes". So once again many grateful thanks.
SORRY 4 CAPS, I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MUCH YOU HAVE HELPED ME WITH THIS CAMERA. THANK YOU, HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
Happy t help! and to you as well! :)
Best video description of the Canon SX 70 I've watched.
Very informative and well done teaching. Your calm approach and obvious knowledge make a good combo. Thanks.
Fantastic presentation. So informative and easy to follow. Learned so much! Thank you!
My SX70 is AMAZING! No issues. I also use a dslr. The SX 70 is quick and easier to use for those quick captures. No complaints. 👍
Sx70 or Nikon b700??
That was great! Thank you.
Great video, very nicely done 👍
i have the same cam here. its my third powershot sx model and i love the big zoom. but the image quality in the video mode is terrible, especially in the full hd video mode. the 4k mode is better.
Agreed and who needs the laptop full of 4k .A failure of a cam in my eyes and not just .Shop will take it back ..It is a mess design. wise .
thank you for making this walkthrough
Thank u for ur vedio, iam recently purchase, very usuful with ur vedio
You mentioned changing the Av to take a starburst shot. I've been told you can't achieve this effect on point-and-shoot cameras because they typically stop at f8 when f22 is recommended (at least for DSLR).
Great comment! With a f8 aperture it is still possible to get a sunburst, the light source just has to be peaking or rather small. It is tricky but it is possible!
Hmmm havent heard of this camera before lol. I have several bridge cameras though. From a really cheap fujifilm to a Panasonic fz300 ( great for the money) and a sony rx10 iv probably the king of bridge cameras currently. But this seems solid for what it is. Good features for the money.
In that line up, the Sony RX10 is definitely the best, and you get what you pay for! This camera, I say would fall just under the Panasonic FZ300 in quality.
Very nice video and thanks for helping me with some of the features. I know you said something about leaving something off so your photos aren't blurry but I don't recall what that was. I am having some blurry photos and would like to correct. Please advise and thanks!
That would be stabilization! If it is on a tripod, turn it off. Hand held, turn it on! Hope this helps.
The actual size of the sensor is only
4.55mm x 6.17mm. .44 inch. Yet they pack 20mp of pixels in it, but they are smaller pixels than a DSLR, so not as much information is collected. But it can still take some amazing pictures.
Very nice video
I want to do closeups of flowers and their parts for identification, how do I do that?
Excellent Video. Thanks.
Just bought a SX70 - I set the date yet took first picture and do not see the date on the picture. Also, I bought a new Canon SD 32 Card online - and after taking 3 pictures I see on the SX70 a note that card is full with only 3 shots. I formatted the card, and took 3 more pictures and same thing - after 3 pictures note on camera reads card full. Defective new card maybe not actual Canon OEM?
You referred to Zoom not set digital zoom for a reason - not clear to me then you recommended setting or not settirn but no insruction "how" to make the adjustment, turn off or whatever. Help please. Where is this function.. Thank you
The digital zoom option is in the menu, the first tab (shooting menu) and page 5. If it is grayed out, you may need to change your ratio size to 4:3 or you may only be able to shoot in JPEG. Canon has had an issue with this in other models as well.I hope this solves the issue!
Muito obg pelo vídeo com tradução em português Brasil mim ajudou muito, Deus lhe abençoe.
excellent explanation of details is what I need to be my videos thank you very much for that detailed recommendation on the Canon power shot sx70 I hope you answer me what difference .....
The sx 60 optical zoom to the sx 70 I do not know which is better in the zoom I hope you answer me, take care of yourself God bless you always 🙏
The zoom is actually the same on those models. The biggest differences are that the sx70 has a higher megapixel count for sharper images, the sx60 can take an external flash while the sx70 cannot, the sx70 is faster and has a higher continuous drive, the sx60 has HD video while the sx70 has 4K video and the sx70 has a mic port while the sx60 does not. Hope this helps!
i'm looking for this camera a bit but i'm a little afraid of some questions, does this camera can take stars photos ? i just listen somewhere that when you put shutter upper than 1 sec the ISO is stucked at 100. is it true in this camera ? other question is the size of the sensor, the quality of photos is good enough for a camera ? or it's noise AF? hope you could help me :3
Hello Fellipe! In my experience with this camera, you should be able to adjust the ISO doing a long exposure of more than 1 second, it should not limit you at 100. Although if you are doing long exposure, its always better to use a smaller number for sharpness. It is possible to do star photographs, like the milky way, with this camera. Naturally, the bigger the sensor, the smoother the graduation for light and less noise you will see in your photos, so naturally I wouldn't choose this camera specifically for star photography but it is possible to get an okay shot with it. If you are looking for a good camera at a similar cost to do star photography, I would suggest at least crop sensor, like the Canon SL3 or the Nikon D3500. These cameras will give you more options and will get you a higher quality image. Hope this helps!
@@Shutterbug101 Thanks for answer, it help me a lot. i'll wait a little do some research and hopefully get a good camera. :3
Some good information, but there is nothing on the camera that says Quick Menu and I cannot see which buttons you are pushing because your thumb covers all of the available buttons. Is the Quick Menu the Function Set button by any chance?
The quick menu is the Q/set button in the middle of your directional pad, my apologies for covering them up. Once you hit the Q button, you can then use the directional pad to move to different settings and change as needed. Hope this helps!
Hi, love this video, taught me so much. But quick question. I have mine set to auto download my photos to my laptop. Will it ‘duplicate’ the ones it’s already downloaded each time, or does it just download the new ones taken since the last download?
What I am hearing from my Canon rep, is if you have it go to the same location on the computer every time, without moving the photos to other locations, it should detect that there would be duplicates with the same name.
@@Shutterbug101 thank you so much
Can you please take pictures and videos with your reviews...I love them but unless I see how they perform...It's hard to decide whether to purchase them?
The photos shown while describing the camera at the beginning are samples from the camera. As for video samples, in my newer videos I have changed to showing videos AND photos. This channel has been a work in progress :)
I have a problem. I can activate the optical zoom+ digital zoom in the Auto Mode. However, I can't access the digital zoom when I turn the dial to "P." Also, I can zoom in on the moon while taking a pic, and it will focus with no problem. However, it won't focus on the moon while I'm taking a video clip. It just stays blurry.
This camera has difficulty focusing during video at times. When you are in video mode, be sure to put the focusing mode in AF-C to assist. When it comes to the digital zoom in P mode, you may have to turn it on in the menu. I don’t usually recommend using digital zoom as the quality begins to degrade, but if you want the distance it is all preference.
@@Shutterbug101 Ok. Thank you
I’m looking for a camera that won’t break the bank to photograph my hummingbirds. Would you recommend the Canon SX70?
The sx70 isn’t made for the speed of a hummingbirds wings, the Panasonic FZ300 is inexpensive and has the speed behind it if you are capturing hummingbirds :)
Thank you, you've been very helpful. what is the best price you've seen for the SX70 and should i get an extended warrantee?
Canon runs the prices so everyone should have the same price (currently at 599.99) but it can go on sale up to 100 off, just have to look at the right time. I would definitely get a accidental warranty to protect it if anything were to happen with the retractable lens.
Hi
So what did you recommend
Canon sx70 or Nikon p950 ?
Out of those two, I would say for everyday photography go with the SX70
@@Shutterbug101would you recommend the sx70 or the Nikon b700? Thanks
New Canon SX70 HS - ERR 60 Lens error, camera will now shut down.
Recently bought this Ultra-Zoom for bird photography and love it. Only problem is that every other day or so it would close down with an ERR 60 lens error. So I returned it to Canon under warrantee. They sent me a brand new replacement and now (after a couple of days) the replacement is also doing the exact same thing. I understand there are a variety of things that can cause this error, but this camera has never been dropped or been on a beach where a grain of sand might cause problems.
Anything I can do about this or do I have to live with it?
That is a real shame and I apologize for your bad luck! I have only seen this happen in person when the customer was turning the camera on with the lens cap (and leash) still on it and the camera detected it being held back. If you haven’t dropped it, there isn’t grit or liquid damage inside, and it’s not the lens cap issue, you may have another lemon 😞 You could send this one back to Canon, as per their warranty, or I have had customers prefer the Panasonic FZ80. Either way I hope you have less issues in the future!
I am wanting to take close up flower photos, what setting would you recommend, as my old Nikon Coolpix B700 had a dedicated macro button, without needing any other settings needing choosing.
You would utilize the flower setting and turning which macro mode you like on
Hey was the Nikon b700 good as i don’t know whether to get a Nikon b700 or a canon sx70

How can I record slow motion on this camera
Unfortunately this model gives you very little options for slow motion, as the highest frame rate avalible is 60p. I would not recommend trying slow motion with this camera if you are wanting to slow down quite a bit.
Excellent menu run through. Photographing birds/butterflies etc how to overcome camera shake without a tripod?
With this camera, it can be very tricky. This camera excels in daylight, and the best way to avoid camera shake without a tripod would be to practice with deep breathes (inhale and hold, release when you hit the shutter button slowly) or finding something to steady you (the top of a vehicle, a fence post, a rock). For this model, that is the best advice I can give for stabilization.
@@Shutterbug101 Hello, thank you for your suggestions. Your video mentioned other TH-cam videos to watch. Which do you recommend for me?
Any of my videos in my “Now You Know!” Camera Basics playlist should be helpful!
I use a Shoulder harness pulled up snuggly once camera in best shooting position. Same theory as a 3 point rifle sling, ie , pushing camera AWAY from the body. With the screen swiveled out to suit sight line. And yes breathing pattern the same as shooting. Glad i learnt that technique in the Army. It ensures that camera shake is controlled. I tend to shoot sitting or kneeling as standing to hard to control unless supported. I also used a mono pole until forced onto a walking stick. Hope this helps
Thanks for the help
Can the camera take pictures while recording video?
I don't believe it will take photos during video, but if it does you may see a pause or skip in the video when you go back and review. I don't have access to it to check for sure, but either way I wouldn't advise doing it if it can.
My canon used to shoot continuous shots but now it shoots only single shots.
I have gone through the menus and cannot find how to get back to the multiple shot setting.
Can you help me?
Thank you.
If you access your Q menu by hitting the middle button of your directional pad, you will navigate yourself to the single square symbol and change it to multiple squares stacked on top of each other to enable continuous shooting again.
Hello how are you! I have a Canon Sx70 and I have a question. The viewfinder has a sensor that just putting your hand in front already makes the camera display go off. Is there any way I can disable the display to use only the LCD Display?
If you go to the Menu > the wrench tab > Page 4 > Display Settings > set to manual and choose LCD. Hope this helps, sorry for the late response!
Hi Heather, can you please tell me if the stabilzation mode kicks in automatically or is it a case of going into the settings.
This is a setting you can turn on and off in the shooting menu, but should be set to on out of the box.
if I wanted to take indoor pictures of my daughter's new born baby, which setting would you recommend? Thank you
I would say the Av mode and using the smallest aperture number/widest opening possible :) congrats grandpa!
@@Shutterbug101 Thank you for the quick response, I'll be giving that a try . would you recommend the flash?
I would not recommend flash as it could startle the baby
I Like this csmera
Hi can you put the camera in bulb mode? Is there a filter thread on the front of the lens to add filters ? Cheers.
This camera does not have a bulb mode option, but does have a filter thread on the front (67mm)
I currently have a canon 540hs powershot. What is frustrating is I cannot start or stop video recording remotely even through the canon app and even in live mode. Does this model allow me remote control of start stop of video?. Also I use a field monitor attached via HDMI. Again my 540 HS does not allow live view whilst recording video but will playback. Will this model allow me to view and record video at the same time when attached to and external monitor. Finally can I livestream with this camera in view of its connectivity and my comments....
Thats very strange that it will not allow you to start or stop video and it doesnt have a live view when recording. When it comes to recording, make sure your card has been formatted which will permanently erase all data off the card as sometimes that can be the issue. The powershots are notorious for working roughly with the app, but you should be able to record remotely by hitting the red record button through the app on your phone. And because this does have an HDMI port and a live view option, it should absolutely give you live feed when recording. The live streaming, however, I don't recommend with this camera as you will always see a focusing box on the screen and there is no way to hide it. If you want a camera that will work well with the app, connect to your monitor, AND have the clarity to live stream with the proper equipment and software, I recommend a Sony rx10. That is the model I have heard the best results from when it comes to a bridge camera. Otherwise you may consider going with a Sony a6400 or a Panasonic gx85. I hope this helps!
How do you set up folders? I want it to have it set up by date taken.
The way folders work is you start a new folder at the beginning of each day, and the photos you take will then sort into that folder you made. You will be unable to sort the photos into folders in camera after the photos are taken. If this is the case, you will have to create folders on your computer, date them, and sort your photos accordingly. Let me know if you have any other questions!
How can I increase the speed between taking a single picture? Is there a simple adjustment to do that? My Canon Powershot SX50 is faster between taking images than the SX70.
It should allow you to take photos back to back fairly quickly. Keep in mind just because you see a preview of the last image on the screen, you can still take another photo you do not have to wait for it to fade to black. Also, make sure you have a new SD card with a reliable speed, an SDXC card with a 10 rating or a U3 symbol.
@@Shutterbug101 I think if you are taking RAW images, then it will take longer to process in between shots
@@henryyoung6565 it shouldn’t if you have the right speed of card
In your opinion, how does this camera rate with the Panasonic Lumix FZ-1000 II?
Great question! The Panasonic FZ1000II does have a larger sensor so it does do better in low light situations. However, it does have more features and buttons that can get confusing to a user who may want simplicity. So while I prefer the Panasonic, someone who may not be concerned about low light that wants an easy to use point and shoot with a good grip, the Canon may be the better option.
What about the digital zoom I didn’t see the setting in the video to turn it off
Canon SX70 VS Nikon 950 What would you recommend?
I would say they are on a very similar playing field, one is just more travel friendly with less zoom ability (although still has great range) if you think you primarily want nice detailed moon shots, go with the P950 otherwise go with Canon
For beginners worth buying this camera?
Absolutely!
What can you tell me about SD Cards for the best quality Pictures etc. SDHC vs SDXC make, GB, Class, etc.
Here you go :) th-cam.com/video/yRFukBqFuVM/w-d-xo.html
Hi, only had my camera a short time and have been fiddling. Would like to do a camera reset, however, on the tools tab in menu, I don't have these options, I only have Manuel/Software URL. I also don't have the green tab. Any suggestions?
Haha, I will answer my own question: "Restore default camera settings in P/TV/AV modes." All good now!
Glad you found it! Let me know if you have any other questions!
Please how do i connect HDMI to my PowerShot camera
How do I change playback to viewing one photo at a time instead of seeing multiple images? Thank you.
Try using your zoom lever by nudging it one time toward the "T".
If that doesn't work, there should be a magnifying glass on the back to push and should bring up one photo so you can use your directional pad to go backward and forward to view.
Thank you. I found that if I enter the “highlighted” photo it takes me back to being able to view one photo at a time instead of a whole group. Really enjoy you channel.
I found your video really useful and leant quite a few things so Thank You. But noticed you said In Panoramic mode you can only go side to side, but you can change the direction, not just side to side but also up and down.
Do you mean by changing the direction of the camera?

how to get the effect of photos like those from the amusement park?
Can you explain what you mean a bit more? I would be happy to help!
Will I be able to do Muli exposure pictures in the camera? if so can you do a 101 video on this topic?
This camera unfortunately cannot do multiple exposures, but some of the Canon interchangeable lens cameras do! I’ll add it to my to do list!
thank you one last question what do you think of the Kodak AZ652 or AZ901? is the picture quality as good as the Canon?
The quality and support on the Canon is much better than Kodak
Hi..does this offer 120fps HD recording ?
It shoots only up to 60fps in HD
Hi, I’ve just purchased this camera and I do have one question, it might seem a strange one, but how do you bring up the electronic level in the centre of the screen to help keep your horizons level ?
Keep the videos coming
I do not recall if this camera has the level feature, but if it does, it should come up after continuously pressing the info button on the back until it comes up on the screen. If you keep seeing the same options over and over, there is no level option in the camera. Hope this helps!
Hi, thanks for quick reply, I’m a little confused, when I first charged the battery and switched it on for the first time, I did come across the level , but, I can’t seem to find it now ....... very strange !!! I’ll keep playing with it and maybe I’ll find it again
Thanks
@@Fallowfielder Only other place I can think it may be is in your Menu > go to the third tab (Wrench) > Page 4 > Shooting Info. Display

Hi, thanks for that, yes I went to that tab and yes, it was there, and there is 4 shooting info tabs you can tick, it is the third one down, but no, it will not display
I have tried, you have to have at least 2 ticked
Never mind, it’s not the end of the world, it just would have been nice to have it.
Thanks again

Is the RING on the lens for manual focusing or to extend the zoom manually?
On this camera model, there is no turnable ring on the lens. So if you want to manually focus it can be a bit of a challenge.
@@Shutterbug101 Thank You.
If I set the auto focus to manual focus, I can I use the rotating dial on top of the camera to focus clearly, or assign on of the two buttons on the left side of the lens to allow me to focus?
Yes, absolutely! There are assignable buttons that will allow you to manually focus, just trickier than having the manual focus ring available
@@Shutterbug101 I deeply appreciate your advice.
While recording video can i take photos on the same time like the smartphones?

hi..does the camera take a clicking noise when the photo is taken?..or is it silent like the sx50?..
Hi there! There should be a sound telling you it's taken the photo, but you can turn it off if you would like in the menu.
@@Shutterbug101 thanks...`mute`
Very SILENT. Even at full burst Mode

@@TheRollthedice Check my ACCOUNT. Photos as Video uploaded.
Does this camera offer in-camera Muli exposures?
Upon looking through the options, it does not have a multiple exposure option
cool .. question how to ut back botton focus please
Because this model does not have a AF ON or AF/AE button, I do not believe back button focus is achievable on this camera.
Does it have movable ring in the lens?
It does not
Does this camera have focus peaking?
Yes it absolutely does!
DO YU TEST VIDEO 4K,,,,,??
How does it perform in low light / night?
I would say its not its strong suit, although I wanted to see its capabilities at night which is why my example footage from the camera is at night doing long exposures. It has some ability in low light, but definitely not much.
How do you change from JPEG to RAW?
If you put your mode dial into a manual mode like P mode, go to your menu>1st red camera tab, page 1>the first option should be Image Quality where you can choose JPEG, RAW or both.

DO IT HAVE A MICRO EXTERNE??
It does have a micro USB port if that was your question, and in this video I used it’s 1080p video, because unfortunately my graphics card has a hard time and it comes out patchy in editing. Once I can afford a computer upgrade, I plan on showing the 4K quality in future cameras.

Just bought one and wow am I horrified at the mess it is .Only good thing is the zoom .The menu system is all over the place and repeats itself .OK I have been a Panasonic user most of my life and am returning there .Have two professional camera and photographic pals and each had little positive to say about Canon menu system ..Your video is good .👍.Canon gets a thumbs down from me
I have to agree with you. If you are looking for quality with a similar zoom, check out the Panasonic FZ80
Hii, I'm looking for a cámara for vlogs etc, would this one be great? :c
I would say vlogging is not this cameras strong suit. I would go with the Sony ZV1 or the Panasonic G100. Or if you are looking for something more inexpensive, the Panasonic FZ300 would be a good one to start with.

Uhhh, "the trash can" Viruses"
uh, NO
when in the trash can, it only tells the camera it can OVERWRITE that image
You are correct, but after so much time overwriting, it causes corruptions and I have literally seen corruption eat away images one by one just because there was an error overwriting a single file. I only used "virus" for the beginners in a sense that it does effect more than one image and to stay on the safe side, its always good to every now and then format your cards in camera.
Who are the 18 👎🏻 !!!!
Not a true sx70
Could you explain what you mean?
