[edit] A570 (Digic III)

PowerShot A570IS mode dial position can be read from the value of either propcase 49 or 50 using the get_prop ubasic command. The two propcases seem to be duplicates.

In REC mode, turning the mode dial counter-clockwise:

Mode Submode Value
AUTO - -32768
P - -32764
Tv - -32765
Av - -32766
M - -32767
Video 640/30fps 2597
Video 320/60fps 2598
Video 160/15fps 2599
Stitch Assist - -32246
SCN Fireworks 16405
SCN Aquarium 16407
SCN Underwater 16406
SCN Night Scene 16398
SCN Foliage 16402
SCN Snow 16403
SCN Beach 16404
Indoor - -32751
Kids&Pets - -32752
Night_Snapshot - -32757
Landscape - -32756
Portrait - -32755

In PLAY mode: A570IS has a separate rec/play switch. Mode dial position can be read in play mode, but the propcases are only updated while in REC mode.

[edit] IXUS 950 / SD850 (Digic III)

The SCN values for my IXUS 950 IS seem to be a bit differnt (also those 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)

[edit] SX10 (Digic IV)
