I'm only a DC beginner but I found one setting quite useful:
Mode: TV 1/100s to 1/125s
Other Auto
I found this setting quite good for indoor shooting

For outdoor, I normall use
AV (depends on objects)
ISO 50
Flash off

Just a little sharing, of course, it's better to familar with all the functions.

By the way, Canon offer a beginner course for S series. If you have read through the user manual, I will suggest you not to waste the time:P I left after 30 mins.

Flash係咪開盡？
會唔會唔夠光？

For my experience, the flash will make the photo over expose when shooting near object.

It's better to keep at least 2M distance from the object, then use the zoom to adjust the photo layout.

For distance object (over 4-5M), flash is useless.
