Using The Nd Filter; Setting The Shutter Speed - Canon PowerShot G12 User Manual

Using the ND Filter

The ND filter reduces light intensity to 1/8 (3 stops) of the actual level,
allowing for slower shutter speeds and smaller aperture values.
Attach the camera to a tripod to prevent camera shake.

Setting the Shutter Speed

You can set the shutter to the speed at which you want to shoot. The camera
will set the appropriate aperture value for the shutter speed you set.
M stands for "Time value".
