 ===== Safety Shift ===== ===== Safety Shift =====
  
 +**Safety Shift** is an option that interferes with manual settings in **Tv** and **Av** modes.
  
 +Pressing the **shutter button halfway** will show the aperture value or the shutter speed **selected automatically to obtain a standard exposure**, if such exposure cannot be obtained, the value is displayed in **orange color**. But if **Safety Shift** is enabled, the manually selected value (aperture or speed) will be corrected and displayed on the screen. To enable this option, press the **%%[MENU]%%** button and search the **%%[Safety Shift]%%** into the //camera tab//.
 +
 +===== Neutral Density Filter =====
 +
 +In photography, a **neutral-density filter** is a filter that **reduces the intensity of all colors of light** equally. The purpose of a neutral-density filter is to **reduce the amount of light** entering the lens, **allowing combinations** of aperture and exposure time that would otherwise produce overexposed pictures.
 +
 +For example you can use it to allow an **high aperture value** and get a **lower depth of field**.
 +
 +====== Python Script Download ======
 +
 +Here it is a Python script to decode Exif metadata from photos taken by the Canon PowerShow S120: **{{.:canon_s120:canon-metadata.txt|canon-metadata}}**.
