Setting The Shutter Speed - Canon PowerShot A650 IS User Manual

Setting the Shutter Speed

Shooting Mode
When you set the shutter speed, the camera automatically selects an
aperture value to match the brightness of the subject. Faster shutter
speeds allow you to catch an instantaneous image of a moving subject,
while slower speeds create a flowing effect and allow you to shoot
without a flash in dark areas.

• If the aperture value is shown in red, the image is

The nature of CCDs is such that noise in the recorded image
increases at slow shutter speeds. This camera, however,
applies special processing to images shot at shutter speeds
slower than 1.3 seconds to eliminate the noise, thereby
producing high-quality images. (However, a certain amount of
processing time may be required before the next image can be
shot.)
