The SD880IS does not have manual control over the f/stops (aperture) and shutter speed. The only shutter speed adjustment you can make are with the "long exposure" option described in the manual on page 86. This camera would not be a good choice for a class that requires learning manual settings on a camera.

I have a problem with Canon claiming that the SD990 has "manual mode," and have posted a question about the subject here. Check the Open Questions area for more info.
