Changing the Shutter Speed on my Canon Powershot SD870IS Digital Elph?

I know that the shutter speed for the Powershot goes up to 15 seconds, but I have no idea where to locate it, or how to change it. Any ideas?

Yes, your User Guide has all the answers...you only have a 'Long Shutter Mode' option that allows you to set the shutter speed between 1 and 15 seconds...but, it's not in the Index of your User Guide. So, you need to have a look at the Functions Chart that's at the back of the Guide. It's the second item on the list and will direct you to page 109.



To access Long Shutter Mode, you first need to turn your mode dial to M, then press the FUNC. SET button, then use the up/down arrows to select +/-0, then press the DISP...then use the sideways arrows to adjust the shutter speed, then press FUNC.SET again.



You would of course need to mount your camera on a tripod for long exposures.
