Mrselfdestruct Senior Member  646 posts Joined Mar 2007 Location: Fort Walton Beach, Florida More info | Mar 21, 2007 16:48 | #1 I got a A550 and have no idea how to manual focus. I'm new to this camera and any other kind of camera, so I also am not that good with shutter speeds etc. When I got to change shutter speed it says 1" 1"3 1"6 etc. If someone could help me out I would be very much appreciated and it would make my photos 1000x better. Thanks EOF Canon 400D w/ Batt grip :: Novice

I always have it in manual mode for picture taking, how do I set it for manual focusing? And whats the rocker wheel? Is that the menu buttons or the zoom thing. EOF Canon 400D w/ Batt grip :: Novice

I know how to do slow shutter speed like 1 sec, 1.3 sec etc, but I dont know how to do 1/1000 1/2000 or anything like those fast ones. EOF Canon 400D w/ Batt grip :: Novice

JustShootin' Senior Member  820 posts Joined Jan 2007 Location: South Florida More info | I've never even held this model camera before, but from all the specs I have read on it, it doesn't appear to have complete manual control over shutter speed and aperture. Not sure, but I would bet what's being called manual mode only gives you control over ISO, and maybe exposure and flash compensation. Gary

I know you can set slow shutter, but not sure about fast shutter. EOF Canon 400D w/ Batt grip :: Novice
