It depends on what camera your using, some have it so that the shutter will stay open for seconds long. Some have a,"bulb" mode where the shutter stays open for the whole time you have the shutter-release button pressed.
It depends on what camera you are using.
Aperture Priority has the camera set the shutter speed for you allowing you to set the aperture and it will set what shutter speed it thinks is best for your current light situation.
Aperture priority lets you set the aperture you want and the camera sets the shutter speed for you. You use it when you want to control depth of field. Shutter priority lets you set the shutter speed you want and the camera sets the aperture for you. You use it when you want to control how motion is rendered in the photograph. Program mode sets both shutter speed and aperture for you. Use it when you are not concerned with aperture or shutter speed control.
I am not sure if you are asking about a digital camera or a old style camera. If you want a good older camera that would be a Cannon as you can set the shutter speed on it. If you are talking about a digital camera then you should hold the shutter button down longer.
Any Camera can be used in the dark with a flash, however if your wish to take a picture without a flash many things come into play. First you need a camera that you can set the ISO speed, Aperture, and Shutter Speed. This is best with a digital SRL Camera. Depending on the lighting set the Aperture at the larges opening wich will be the lowest f number. Set the ISO at the highest setting (1600 or higher if available). and I like to start with a shutter speed of 1/100. Then play with the setting depending on conditions. When shooting at the high ISO speed your picture may get "noise" undeveloped points. It takes alot of practice to get the right settings. I prefer on my camera to set it on shutter priorty TV and let the camera set the aparature size. But i still start with at least a ISO setting of 800.
The simple answer is you don't. The camera is a simple to use, good quality point and shoot camera that does everything for you. It will automatically select the most suitable shutter speed from a range beween 4s - 1/1400s.
Use shutter priority mode (S mode on dial) or manual mode (M on dial) and then select the speed you want by using the dials.
Exposure, in digital or film photography, is determined by aperture and shutter speed. On a manual camera, the user selects both values.On an automatic camera, there are four possibilities:Manual mode. User selects both aperture and shutter speed.Shutter priority. User picks the shutter speed and the camera adjusts the aperture to ensure proper exposure.Aperture priority. User picks the aperture and the camera adjusts the shutter speed to ensure proper exposure.Program mode. The camera selects both values.
Shutter speed can also be refered to as exposure on some cameras.. the lower the # the longer the shutter stays open... Usually slowing shutter speeds is done for effects photos or low light conditions.. It's crucial that the camera remain still when using a slow shutter speed.
A manual camera is a camera that does not have any automated functions, like film transport that winds the film, or exposure modes like shutter or aperture priority. Most manual cameras also do not have auto-focus capability.
You can adjust the shutter speed of Canon EOS cameras so there isn't a set shutter speed.
The Shutter Speed. If the shutter speed is positioned at 2000 you'll have a very quick exposure, this is best used if its very bright outside. If the shutter speed is at 75, you'll have a very long exposure, best used if its cloudy or dark.
