Canon E 500 - Manual (Page 66)

High-Speed Shutter
The high-speed shutter allows you to capture sports and other fast
action scenes clearly. The camera has 7 high-speed shutter
settings: 1/60th, 1/250th, 1/500th, 1/1000th, 1/2000th, 1/4000th and
1/10000th of a second. Select the correct shutter speed according to
subject speed and brightness. Normal shutter speed is 1/50th of a
second.
1. Point the camera at the subject and compose the
scene in the viewfinder.
2. Press the SHUTTER button.

Notes:
• Use this function outdoors in bright light.
• You cannot change the shutter speed when using Program AE.
• Scenes shot with the high-speed shutter will appear somewhat jerky during normal playback.
• Scenes shot with the high-speed shutter work best with special playback. Use a VCR capable of noise-
free special playback for best results.
• If you turn off the power or switch to playback mode, the shutter setting automatically returns to normal
(1/50).
