Working from a 300D here, but I'm sure the 350 (XT) is similar. If you turn the dial to Tv mode, you should be able to change the shutter speed with the roller wheel (on the 300D, it is just behind the shutter release button).

I'm trying to remember, but I don't think anything happens until you "wake up" the auto systems by half-pressing the shutter button. Once the current settings show up on the LCD (or at the bottom of the viewfinder, if looking through there), you should be able to change the shutter speed with the wheel to your heart's delight.

If you are in Tv mode the main dial near the shutter button will change the shutter speed.

if you are in TV mode, turn the main dial (right behind the shutter release button) to change the shutter speed.

Welcome to the forum........I know you might feel like a dumb newbie when asking questions (I know I did in the beginning), but just remember this.......most people probably asked the same questions in the beginning....and if they didn't ask them, they probably wanted to!!

Thats what the forum is here for!
