How Shutr Scout tailors settings to your PowerShot G9 X Mark II

• Because the PowerShot G9 X Mark II has a 1-inch sensor, larger than a phone's and built for pocketable quality, Shutr Scout factors that into depth-of-field guidance and how it balances aperture against shutter and ISO.
• Without in-body stabilization, Shutr Scout leans toward faster shutter speeds hand-held to keep your shots sharp.
• Its autofocus is phase or contrast autofocus without subject detection, so Shutr Scout uses the right focus mode and area for what you are shooting.
• It knows the body's native ISO ceiling (12,800) and fastest shutter (1/2000s), so it never recommends a setting your PowerShot G9 X Mark II cannot actually use.

Accessories worth having for the PowerShot G9 X Mark II

The lens is fixed, but a few accessories get the most out of it:

• An ND filter (if your model accepts filters directly or via an adapter ring) – lets you shoot wide open in bright light and hold a cinematic shutter for video
• A circular polarizer (CPL) – cuts reflections and glare and richens skies
• A spare battery – these compacts have small batteries that drain quickly
• A fast SD card – keeps up with 4K video and burst shooting

The settings themselves come from your light, not a chart

A cheat sheet gives everyone the same numbers. Shutr Scout measures the actual light in front of you and combines it with your PowerShot G9 X Mark II, and your priorities to hand you a complete recipe, camera mode, shutter, aperture, ISO, autofocus, drive, white balance and more, that you can dial in and shoot. Too bright or too dark? One tap adjusts it while keeping your look.
