All motion is blurred and more chance of blur if you have a shaky hand
When using a Nikon 42x P510 camera it is very easy to slow down the shutter speed. On the side of the camera there is a dial that you can access to slow or speed up the shutter speed.
Slow shutter speed - keeps the shutter curtain open for longer periods of time, e.g. when you shoot at night or in fading low light. Fast shutter speeds are used to capture action or when scene you are trying to shoot is well lit. In this case the shutter opens and closes in a fraction of a second!
Your shutter speed may be slow because there is not enough light for the camera to capture a clear image without blurring. To improve your photography, you can adjust the shutter speed to a faster setting to reduce motion blur and capture sharper images.
When the higher or lower shutter speed either renders motion in an unacceptable way (depending on the subject matter) or the lower shutter speed is too slow for hand-holding the camera.

This will depend on what you are shooting. If you are shooying water a slow shutter speed will do - if it's sports photography you will need a fast shutter speed. The shutter is a mechanical device that controls the length of time that light is allowed to act on the film. With a shutter speed of 1/125 you shoud avoid blur if the subject is not moving. Any speed under this your camera should be placed on a tripod. www.goldprints.com
A slow shutter speed in photography can create motion blur, making moving subjects appear blurry. It also allows more light to enter the camera, resulting in brighter and potentially overexposed images.
To take slow shutter speed photos effectively, use a tripod to keep the camera steady, set a low ISO to reduce noise, and use a remote shutter release or timer to minimize camera shake. Experiment with different shutter speeds to achieve the desired effect, such as capturing motion blur or light trails.
To take a photo with a slow shutter speed, adjust your camera settings to a lower shutter speed, such as 1/30 or 1/15 of a second. This will allow more light to enter the camera, resulting in a longer exposure time and capturing motion blur in the photo. Use a tripod to prevent camera shake and ensure a clear image.
You have it set wrong. You can change the shutter speed in the menu
Having a slow shutter speed will show motion. The shutter speed needed will vary from subject to subject so use trial and error to find the shot right for you. A shutter speed of 1/2 (a shot lasting a half a second) is a good starting point.
Slow shutter speed photographers capture stunning long exposure images by keeping the camera's shutter open for an extended period of time, allowing more light to enter the lens. This creates a sense of motion and blurs moving subjects, resulting in a visually striking and unique image.
