Hi Thanh, thank you for your comment. I had no problems with brightness and saturation of images on the S90 compared to my standard laptop display. A quick fix to your issue would be to either 1) increase color saturation and brightness yourself on your computer or 2) boost saturation/contrast in the Custom My Color setting and increase exposure compensation by 1/3 or 2/3 stop. However, since I can’t actually see and compare your S90′s screen to your computer screen in-person (unless you happen to have another camera handy to take a comparison photo), if you feel that the problem is beyond that and want it fixed, I would suggest exchanging the camera for a new one or sending it back to Canon

Hi Brad ! I’m Vietnamese,so I’m sorry for my bad english. I’ve bought the S90 for one week. And I have a big problem with the LCD. Images display on the S90′s LCD is warm and bright so I feel satisfied with these images ( the bright level is adjusted as lowest). But when I saw them on my laptop screen ( brigh level is adjusted as highest),the images look not warm and bright as they appear on the LCD. The color is not vivid and I feel bored . But my Sony DSC-T7 LCD displays exactly the color as I see on my laptop.How’s about your S90 ?

Hi Tina, thanks for your comment. I would suggest moving the mode dial to P, AV, TV or M and see if they re-appear. Though I’ve never heard of such a thing happening before, it may be possible that the camera’s firmware is corrupted or doesn’t like your memory card… so you might try using another memory card or contacting Canon if the first suggestion doesn’t work.

Great article! I bought a Canon S90 a month ago and am SLOWLY learning how to use it. Your explanantions helped me a lot.
I don’t know if you answer questions, but here’s one: just after I scrolled through the first Menu options column along with your article, two of those options disappeared from my Menu! They were Date Stamp and Jpeg/Raw, which USED to be between Optical IS and Shortcut. I must have done something to make this happen, but WHAT? I’ve tried turning the Camera off and on; I haven’t tried going back to Default settings, because I just adjusted so many things as I read this article! But I wanted to change a choice I’d made in the JPEG/RAW section, and I can’t access it……please help if you can.
