Adjusting The Flash Output - Canon PowerShot G16 User Manual

• After you set the shutter speed or aperture value, the exposure level
may change if you adjust the zoom or recompose the shot.
• Screen brightness may change depending on your specified shutter
speed or aperture value. However, screen brightness remains the
same when the flash is up and the mode is set to [h].
•
Use a sufficiently charged battery when shooting with the shutter
speed set from 40 to 250 seconds, because the longer shooting
time shortens battery life more than other shooting methods.
• To have both the shutter speed and aperture value automatically
adjusted to obtain standard exposure, hold the shutter button
halfway and press the < > button. Note that standard exposure
may not be possible with some settings.
• Images shot at high ISO speeds may look grainy.
• [D]: Manual
• Calculation of standard exposure is based on the specified metering method
(= 69).
• The battery level indicated is based on estimated battery consumption under
the current shutter speed setting. Changing the shutter speed may cause this
level to be updated.
• You can customize camera operation so that turning the <7> dial adjusts the
shutter speed and turning the <z> dial adjusts the aperture value
