Setting The Shutter Speed - Canon PowerShot SX150 IS User Manual

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".

• 2" indicates 2 seconds, 0"3 indicates 0.3 second and 1/160 indicates 1/160
second.
• The fastest shutter speed when using the flash is 1/2000 second. The camera
automatically resets the shutter speed to 1/2000 second if a faster shutter speed
is chosen.
• Depending on the zoom position, some shutter speeds may not be available.
• When shutter speeds of 1.3 seconds or slower are used, images are
processed to reduce noise after being taken. A certain amount of
processing time may be needed before you can take the next shot.
• You should set [IS Mode] to [Off] when lowering the shutter speed and
shooting with a tripod (p. 159).
What if the aperture value appears in orange?
If the aperture value appears in orange when the shutter button is pressed
halfway, the scene has exceeded the correct exposure limits. Adjust the shutter
speed until the aperture value appears in white (Safety shift can also be used
(p. 97)).
