What Does 15" Mean In My Camera Manual Mode ?

[vindictive666 (John)]

hi all

my canon A580 has a manual mode

ive had a look on the web ect ect


in which i can set a long shutter mode from 1" to 15" and some in between

numbers are 1" 1"3 1"6 2" 2"5 3"2 4" 5" 6" 8" 10" 13" 15" (F stops, Ratio?)

what i am trying to find out how long that represents ("= seconds?)

would be no problem if i had a stop watch :0


ive tried the BOOK no luck

any comments well received

regards john

it's 15 seconds, 15 seconds is the longest time you can keep the shutter opne for on a Powershot
