How do you change shutter speed on a canon powershot sd 600?

I need to know if I can change it and how to.|||The SD600 does not have a true manual exposure control where you can set the aperture and shutter speed. It does have scene exposure modes, which are hidden in the menus, which can force the camera to do certain things like choose the fastest shutter speed.





The ELPH series aren%26#039;t the best cameras for changing quickly between scene modes, because they are hidden within a couple of menus. The SD600 does have most of the basic modes including Digital Macro, Portrait, Night Snapshot, Kids %26amp; Pets, Indoor, Foliage, Snow, Beach, Fireworks, and Underwater. To get to the special scene modes, though, you have to first hit the Function key, then scroll down to the shooting modes selection, slide over to the right till you get to %26quot;Kids %26amp; Pets,%26quot; and then hit Menu to find the rest.|||The SD series %26quot;Digital Elph%26quot; do not have manual controls. So you do not have direct control over shutter speed. However here are a few tricks you may use and may help your shooting situation.





Bump up the ISO setting to 400-800 (that will force a higher shutter speed)





Keep your zoom at a wider point (rather then zooming in) which will allow more light to comeinto the camera, and thus allow a faster shutter speed)





one final trick use exposure compensation (-1) which may make your image a little lighter, but may force a faster shutter speed)
