Can't adjust shutter speed in Canon A590

[kylefoley76]

I can't adjust the shutter speed in my camera. I've attached the relevant section in the owner's manual, then I made this youtube video of myself trying to find the shutter speed. As you can see my camera is slightly different from that portrayed in the owner's manual.

Yes, I know it was on auto mode. That's why it didn't work. Take it off auto mode.

I can see why you were confused by my last post. poor wording on my part. i meant you were right that it was on auto mode, so i tried landscape and portrait and a few others and those did not work.

You need to be in full manual mode or tv mode I believe to change shutter speed.

Landscape and portrait mode are also pre-set modes that don't allow you to adjust the parameters of your camera. Manual mode does, if your camera has a manual mode.

I'm pretty sure that fixed things. Thanks a lot to all those who helped me out.
