Using Long Shutter Speeds
Under certain conditions, you may want to use long shutter speeds either for special effects or when working in low light conditions. Your camera is equipped with a set of long shutter speeds which can be set from the REC menu.
1.To set a long shutter speed, turn on the camera and press the MENU button.
2.Use the UP or DOWN buttons to select the Long Shutter Speed option
3.Press the RIGHT button to enter the Long Shutter Speed submenu.
4.Use the UP or DOWN buttons to select the speed you require.
5.Press the SET button to save your selection or the MENU button to cancel.
Long shutter speeds of 1, 2, 4 or 8 seconds are available.
If the shutter speed is slower than 1/32 second (due to low light conditions), the camera shake icon 
appears. This means that any movement when taking a picture will result in a blur image. To prevent this, make sure you turn on the flash, use an extra light source
and/or use a tripod. Note that any movement by the subject will also result in a blur image.
