How do you change the shutter speeds on a Canon Powershot SD200 Digital Elph?

I just got a Powershot SD200 Digital Elph from a friend. They do not have the instruction manual, I have tried looking on the internet and cannone find anything!

1. You can easily download the user manual for every camera from Canon.com However, in answer to your question...your camera only gives you the ability to select a Long Shutter of between 1-15 seconds, but nothing faster...because all the SD models are primarily 'point & shoot' so do not give you too many manual controls. For a faster shutter speed...you will probably have to select 'kids & pets' from the Scene mode (the camera should apply a faster shutter speed). You need to press the centre button on the four way controller to access the menu options. And you will not be able to access most functions while in AUTO..so select MANUAL (M) to give you access to more functions. I have sent you review pages of your camera. Have a read through them because they show and explain the various functions of the camera etc. which should really help you. And don't forget to go to Canon.com and look at SUPPORT (you can download your manual). good luck
