I looked up your camera here

and unfortunately the camera you bought does not have these manual functions. You have an older model of the Ixus line. It also doesn't have a lot of programs for different shooting modes, so the best you can do with that is decrease the ISO to the lowest setting when taking a flash picture.

No, macro setting is only if you do a REALLY close up like when I did one on my eye, where the camera lens is only a few centimeters away from your face. The full face pics I did all of them on normal settings.

You can probably find an english manual for your camera online at the Canon website.
