I forgot how to manually set the shutter speed on my camera. I'm embarassed to even admit that, but it's been awhile I've wanted to.

Shutter Priority Auto Exposure

In this mode you select the shutter speed and the camera will calculate the correct aperture for the exposure (depending on metered value; metering mode, ISO). Shutter speed is displayed on the viewfinder status bar and on the top LCD, turn the main dial to select different shutter speeds. A half-press of the shutter release causes the camera's exposure system to calculate the aperture, if it's outside of the camera's exposure range the aperture will blink. Available shutter speeds below represent 1/3 stop increments, 1/2 stop increments can be selected via custom function 6.

1/8000, 1/6400, 1/5000, 1/4000, 1/3200, 1/2500, 1/2000, 1/1600, 1/1250, 1/1000, 1/800, 1/640, 1/500, 1/400, 1/320, 1/250, 1/200, 1/160, 1/125, 1/100, 1/80, 1/60, 1/50, 1/40, 1/30, 1/25, 1/20, 1/15, 1/13, 1/10, 1/8, 1/6, 1/5, 1/4, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.8, 1, 1.3, 1.6, 2, 2.5, 3.2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 13, 15, 20, 25, 30 sec

I was doing a shoot today. I wanted to only use available light, but couldn't remember how to set my shutter speed. So, I used my flash and a bounce. I'm still pleased with the end product.

I am sure you are also pleased with how faidoi took the time to explain the issue in detail, perhaps you can use the info next time you are in the same predicament.

Thanks Faidoi! And I played around around with it tonight and then accidently deleted the images. *face/palm*
