cannot, those are "dummy modes", the camera will decide on everything. That's why Canon divides the dial into the "creative" modes and the rest. Only in the "creative" modes like Tv, Av, M that you can make decisions in exposure. Try not to use the dummy modes if you are interested in learning more about photography. 
no wonder i couldn't find any related 'topics' in the manual.Originally posted by Tweek

btw, did you just say you prefer snapping in M mode? Isn't that manual mode? So steady ah!
another reason is i've learnt shuttle speed, ISO, BW and aperature thingy so far and been playing around with these 4 only.Originally posted by Tweek

anymore thing that is essential?
another reason is those "dummy modes" can't change it's shuttle speed so i used M mode to replace night scene mode.
Yes, using M mode, especially for night scenes, will be challenging. Try various settings to see the results. Anyway, if not happy with the image just delete them; it is free anyway.Originally posted by IamJeFfy

yep it's good to use M mode for night scenes, but for most shots in the day, Av or Tv would be more convenient. But if you want to venture in M, that's better! You'll learn much much more...Originally posted by IamJeFfy

keke, my friend was using his' dad's Nikon SLR and was having a hard time peeping thru the viewfinder for angle and i was happily twising and turning my LCD screen. + instand replay too. :bsmilie:Originally posted by Goondu

keke, but while you were trying to get a good focus, his Nikon snaps into focus almost instantly...
Oh, another reason to get the D60, or even the 1D.Originally posted by Tweek

:gbounce:using both lor...but still very amateurish with both. Use the DC more often, only use the SLR when I feel rich and I feel like faster focus.
hmmm... come to think of it... D60's AF still seems a little slower than some SLR... or is it just me?
Should be WB and not BW
Should be aperture and not aperature
Should be shutter and not shuttle
Anyway, enjoy your new found joy.

errrr.. corrections! teacher used to call us write corrections for 3 times. haaha. :bsmilie:
shuttle speed... I can't remember hwta's the velocity required to escape earth's gravity pull.... mach...er.... very high... some ultra sonic speed.......
er... actually I think the pictures are shot as per normal in a dimly lit room. Then they are stiched together using an image editing software. I believe a tripod is used...
