Setting the Aperture, Aperture Value Display | Canon S50 specs

Setting the Aperture (continued)

•If the shutter speed shows in red on the LCD monitor, the image is under exposed (insufficient light) or overexposed (too much light). Adjust the aperture value using B or A on the multicontroller until the shutter speed display turns white.

•Some aperture values may not be available with certain zoom positions.

• Functions Available in Each Shooting Mode (p. 180)

• Please note that camera shake becomes a factor at low shutter speeds. If the camera shake warning appears in the LCD monitor, secure the camera to a tripod before shooting.

•In this mode, the shutter speed with synchronized flash is 1/60 second to 1/250 second. The aperture value setting may therefore be changed automatically to match the synchronized flash speed even if its value was set previously.

Aperture Value Display

The larger the aperture value, the smaller the lens aperture.

F2.8	F3.2	F3.5	F4.0	F4.5	F5.0	F5.6	F6.3	F7.1	F8.0

•For the correlation between aperture value and shutter speed, see page 70.
