Default Canon SD1000 - 15 sec exposure -- time delay exposure

To: All:

I just purchased a Canon PowerShot SD1000. I would like to take a 15
second exposure. I followed the User's Guide as I understood it and
set the time delay to 10 seconds and then a long shutter speed of 15
seconds. I pressed the shutter button and the lens retracted and it
appeared that the camera shut off. I've had success with other
functions available with the camera that I have tried but not this
one. Any suggestions?

As you might guess I'm trying to see what kind of night sky exposure I
will get.

Thanks

Larry

check the power saving features. I don't have this camera, but other
Canons have auto power down features, that you can adjust or turn off

Bob:

I think you answered my question. I turned the power-down feature off
and the camera appeared to function as I wanted it to. Now if the
night sky is clear tonight, I'll give try to see what I can do.
