A large, 3-inch LCD gives you a sprawling view of what the camera's lens sees. It isn’t the sharpest display, with a resolution of only 230k dots, half that of the 3.2-inch touch screen found on the Elph 510 HS. The SX150 skips the touch interface and opts for more traditional physical control buttons and a mode dial, giving you quick access to exposure compensation, macro focusing mode, ISO adjustment, video recording, and various shooting modes. The camera’s controls are its strong point, as they are laid out in a thoughtful manne and let you adjust settings without diving into menus. The pop-up flash is manually operated, activating when you physically flip it up.

The on-screen display changes what information is shown based on the shooting mode and your preferences. You can hit the Display button to toggle how much information is shown, and a translucent overlay appears on the screen when you are adjusting a specific setting. This allows you to make adjustments without losing sight of what is in the camera’s field of view. The system menus, where you can format memory cards, mute beeps and sounds, and delve into the more esoteric camera settings are text-based and quite responsive, though you may have to refer to the manual to understand what some of the settings do.
