Canon PowerShot G2 manual Shutter Speed Display

• If the aperture value is flashing in the display panel or shown in red in the LCD monitor, the image is under- or overexposed (insufficient light). Adjust the shutter speed using the or arrow on the omni selector until the flashing stops or the aperture value display turns to white.

•The nature of CCD image sensors 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. Nevertheless, a certain amount of processing time may be required before the next image can be shot.

•The aperture presets to F8.0 when the shutter speed is set to 1/1000 second.

•Please note that camera shake becomes a factor at low shutter speeds. If the camera shake warningappears in the center of the LCD monitor, secure the camera to a tripod to shoot.

Shutter Speed Display

The shutter speeds from 1000 to 4 in the display are actually the denominator of a fraction of a second. For example, 160 indicates a speed of 1/160 second. For slower speeds, quote marks indicate the decimal place, so that 0"3 indicates 0.3 second and 2" indicates 2 seconds.

1000	800		640		500	400	320		250		200	160	125		100
80	60	50	40		30	25	20		15	13	10	8	6	5	4
0"3	0"4	0"5		0"6		0"8	1"	1"3		1"6	2"	2"5		3"2	4"
5"	6"	8"	10"		13"	15"

The display of shutter speeds from 1/4 to 1/1000 second differs between the display panel and LCD monitor.
