How do i switch shutter speeds on dsc-w200 cyber-shot

Only you can answer this question, but if you do not keep your children under control, this is what can happen.

Use Focus Lock.

Not applicable for the E-series digital cameras.
The shutter is delayed because of the additional flashes. In turn, make sure the picture's subjects wait for the additional flashes.

At night, the shutter stays open longer to allow in more light...also allowing you to move the camera causing the blurry pics. Use a tripod if necessary.

Its due to slow shutter speed setting.
If you want to take moving object picture, set high speed shutter, there would an icon of golf stick that is for moving object pictures.

Here the link to manual, copy and paste it into the internet explorer bar:

If camera is DSC-W90 and DSC-W200, go to camera menu and select Initialize -> OK
That will Reset camera to factory default settings.

Sounds like a shutter speed issue. If you are experiencing this indoors use the flash. Review your blurry pics, is the shutter speed a 1/30th of a sec or less? Generally light conditions that force that slow of a shutter require flash or a tripod.

Most probably you have incorrectly set your camera to a Camera Record mode other than Auto.

If there is not enough light and you are trying to photograph the scene without flash, (eg. by setting your camera mode to a mode that is programmed not to use flash) then the camera has to compensate for the missing light by keeping its shutter open for a longer period of time so as enough light comes into its sensor.

If your hand shakes during that time, you get blurry images.

Check your camera settings. The Twilight scene mode gives you slower shutter speeds to capture dark, night scenes, but you need to stabilize the camera on a tripod or something, depending on the level of light of the scene you want to photograph. The Twilight Portrait, on the other hand, is the same as Twilight with the addition of flash is used to illuminate a person or foreground subject as well as capturing a night background. This mode also keeps a long shutter time for capturing the night background.

For taking pictures of people, I would suggest you use Auto or Portrait mode where the camera will automatically use fast shutter speeds and flash (if dark).

Hope this helps.

ok try it during the day time in auto mode as if you are using the camera in Low light it will be blury due to Lower Shutter speeds.

I don't have a solution but I have this problem as well - when shooting on Auto, it seems the camera selects a shutter speed that is way too slow.
