The A580 is a simple point %26amp; shoot camera that does not have full manual control, which means you cannot select your preferred aperture and/or shutter speed.



However, you do have a few options...if you want a long exposure of between 1 and 15 seconds for low-light or night time shooting, you can use the 'Long Shutter Mode' (look it up in your User Guide). It can only be accessed while in M (Manual) shooting mode. A tripod obviously must be used at these slow shutter speeds.



Or, if you need a faster shutter speed (for subjects that won't keep still) you can use the 'Kids %26amp; Pets' setting, which is found on your Mode Dial. The camera will apply a faster shutter speed. This will work best in outdoor situations with good light.



You can also try one of the 'Special Scene' options (pages 66-69 of your User Guide).



good luck...

Read the manual, it is there for a reason.

If you lost it, download an electronic version of it, all major manufacturers let you do that.



Everybody needs to read their manual several times.

Read it once, then take some photos. Read it again, and practice what you learned.

Read it again, you'll understand much more this time, then go experiment.
