Exposure Setting; Setting The Shutter Speed - Canon 7 How To Use Manual

Exposure Setting

Exposure adjustment is done by adjusting the shutter speed and
the lens aperture. Correct exposure is easily determined by the
coupled, built-in light meter.

Setting the Shutter Speed

Turn the shutter speed dial and set it to the index mark.
The shutter can be adjusted to speeds of 1 second, 1/2, 1/4th, 1/8th, 1/16th, 1/30th, 1/60th, 1/r25th, 1/250th,
1/500th, and 1/1000th of a second as well as " B " bulb and "T'', time) exposures and "X".
The "B" exposure is used for exposures of over 1 second. The shutter stays open as long as the shutter button is
kept depressed. The "T" exposure is used for long exposures. When the shutter button is pressed, it will remain
depressed, even after your finger is removed, leaving the shutter open. By turning the shutter speed dial slightly in
either "B" or "X" direction, the shutter button snaps back into its former position and the shutter closes.
The "X" scale reading is used for speedlight (electroflash) synchronization. The shutter speed is approximately
1/60th of a second; however, the effective time of the exposure in this case depends on the peak performance of
the speed light used.
The figures on the shutter speed dial represent fractions of a second.
Do not set the shutter speed dial between two figures. It must be set exactly on a "click" stop.
