How to Change Shutter Speeds on a Sony Cyber-shot S750

You can change the shutter speed on the Sony Cyber-shot S750 by altering other functions on the camera, but you cannot change it directly. The S750 does not have full manual mode shooting, so unlike some other digital cameras, you cannot completely override the auto mode and shoot using the shutter speed of your choice. Instead, the shutter speed changes automatically depending on the ISO you select, or depending which shooting mode you are using. This might work just fine for you in many normal shooting situations, though you can be limited if you wish to keep the aperture small to increase depth of field or take shots of sporting events. You can still exercise indirect control of the shutter speed by picking particular options.

Instructions

- 1
  Make the shutter speed faster by selecting High Sensitivity ISO. The higher ISO, the more the light sensitivity, the less light that is needed for a good picture. As a result, the shutter will close more quickly.
- 2
  Decrease the ISO sensitivity for the opposite effect; the shutter will be open longer.
- 3
  Select Twilight mode or Twilight Portrait mode to decrease the shutter speed; the shutter will be open for longer, allowing more light in. These modes are for low light use. A tripod is recommended to avoid blurring in the final photograph. Avoid these modes for a faster shutter speed.
- 4
  Check your shutter speed by looking in the bottom left side of the LCD viewfinder. The shutter speed (for instance, 125 or 250) will be just to the left of the F-stop (for example, 2.8 or 5.6).
