B Setting The Aperture Value - Canon PowerShot SX200 IS User Manual

B Setting the Aperture Value

You can set the aperture to a value at which you want to shoot. The camera
will set the appropriate shutter speed for the aperture value you set.
B stands for "Aperture value".
Available Aperture Values
F3.4, F4.0, F4.5, F5.0, F5.3, F5.6, F6.3, F7.1, F8.0
•
The fastest shutter speed when using the flash is 1/500 second. As a result, the
camera will not set a shutter speed faster than 1/500 second regardless of the
the aperture value you set.
•
Depending on the zoom position, some shutter speeds may not be available.
What if shutter speed is displayed in red?
If the shutter speed displays in red when the shutter button is pressed halfway,
the scene has exceeded the correct exposure limits. Adjust the aperture value
until the shutter speed displays in white. Safety shift can also be used.
Safety Shift
With M and B modes, if [Safety Shift] is set to [On] in the 4 tab, the shutter
speed or aperture value is automatically adjusted for the correct exposure when it
cannot be otherwise obtained.
Safety Shift is disabled when the flash is enabled.
Set the mode dial to B.
