PowerShot G6 Camera User Guide

Shooting – Selecting Particular Effects

z 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.

z See page 206 for settings that can be changed in this mode.

z Please note that camera shake becomes a factor at slow shutter

speeds. If the camera shake warning appears on the LCD

monitor, secure the camera to a tripod before shooting.

z The fastest shutter speed that can be used effectively with the

flash is 1/250 second. If you try to select a speed faster than

1/250 second, the camera automatically resets the shutter speed

to 1/250 second.

z The aperture value and shutter speed change according to the

zoom state as follows.

Aperture Value Shutter Speed (seconds)

F2.0 – 3.5 to 1/1250

F4.0 – 8.0 to 1/2000
