   Your camera is a point and shoot, so doesn’t allow you to manually change your shutter speed, other than the ‘Long Shutter Mode’. This allows you to select a shutter speed of between 1 sec and 15 secs. This mode would generally be used for low light shooting (a tripod is needed). You must be in Manual (M) mode to access it.
   Look up ‘Shutter Speed’ in the Index of your Advanced User Guide and it will direct you to the correct page.
   If you want to use a faster shutter speed to try and freeze action or movement, your best option is to use the Special Scene mode…’Kids & Pets’. The camera will use a faster shutter speed (this is best used in good outdoor light). Have a look in the Basic User Guide (page 12).
   You can also adjust your ISO and use exposure compensation…

   Do you mean exposure time? I don’t think that you can on the sd800.
