Av =aperture setting &amp; M is for full manual operation where you select both the Tv &amp; Av based on the light meter reading. I also highly recommend finding the section on Exposure Compensation &amp; learning how to use it by instinct.&nbsp;</P> Tue, 15 Oct 2013 13:55:04 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Point-Shoot-Digital-Cameras/How-do-I-set-the-SX-500-shutter-speed/m-p/44269#M3583 cicopo 2013-10-15T13:55:04Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Point-Shoot-Digital-Cameras/How-do-I-set-the-SX-500-shutter-speed/m-p/45515#M3584 <P>Thanks a bunch.&nbsp; Understanding the lingo is a first step.&nbsp; I'm getting there.</P> Wed, 23 Oct 2013 11:58:34 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Point-Shoot-Digital-Cameras/How-do-I-set-the-SX-500-shutter-speed/m-p/45515#M3584 Namvetdem 2013-10-23T11:58:34Z
