Shooting Long Exposures - Canon Powershot A480 User Manual

≈ Shooting Long Exposures

You can set the shutter speed to a range between 1 and 15 seconds to
shoot long exposures. However, you should attach the camera to a tripod to
prevent the camera from moving and blurring the image.
•
The brightness of the image may differ from the brightness of the screen
in Step 3 when the shutter button was pressed halfway.
•
When shutter speeds of 1.3 seconds or slower are used, images are
processed to eliminate noise after being taken. A certain amount of
processing time may be needed before you can take the next shot.
If the flash fires, the image may be overexposed. If this happens, set the
flash to ! and shoot.
