What does 6" mean where my shutter speed number should be displayed on the LCD panel? It's the fang marks that confuse me the most.

I did a google search to see if someone had explained it clearly. Google sent me back here.

If you cycle through your shutter speeds you will see the "faster" speeds as fractions of a second (shown as whole numbers), and then the display will begin to show "seconds" using the quotation marks.

So, "200" is 1/200 of a second, 2" is two seconds.
