Your Sd card maybe too slow
I assume you know how to set your speed
your sd card is buffering to slow for beginners.
Spend more money on a new card.

SOURCE: Shutter speed

What you are referring to is not the shutter speed, but it is how fast the system takes to lock in the focus and determine the exposure/quality/white balance of the scene, and in some cases if a flash is required, getting enough power into the buffer to fire the flash with enough light for the scene. It needs to do all of these steps before it takes the photo.

More expensive cameras have bigger internal processors and memory and can do these steps faster.

My suggestion is to anticipate a scene a bit more before shooting. Especially if its a moving subject. You can pre focus and get the camera to evaulate the scene before taking the photo by pressing the button half way. Then when the action starts, just click it down the rest of the way.

SOURCE: Shutter speed very slow and has trouble focusing

There is a diaphragm between the shutter button and the shutter switch that causes the camera to focus before the shutter is pressed all the way down. It is likely that the diaphragm is punctured and needs to be replaced. There is also a small possibility that the hidden secondary battery inside the camera is going bad.

SOURCE: Nikon D60 Digital SLR--Slow Shutter Speed

Your're probably using a flash with TTL disabled. So 1/200 is the highest sync possible with that kind of flash. Did you try removing the flash off the body and setting faster shutter speeds?

Solution for blur camera nikon d5000 when take pickture at night time

It may be your exposure combination. The blur is because your shutter speed is too slow. You did not say what you are photographing at night and without that information, I can only speak in generalities. It all depends on the light source. If you are taking pictures of illuminated signs, auto exposure modes might work great, but if you are shooting incident light rather than pointing your camera at the light source, I would use a tripod and use manual exposure. Adjust your ISO to a high number. That will allow a faster shutter speed to stop motion.

Camera exilim ex-s600 will not take pictures outside,pictures turning out white,yet will take pictures inside ok.is this a worthwhile repair

This seems to be a software problem with your camera. Your camera should, if on AUTO mode, automatically expose your photo accurately. Try half pressing the shutter button (used to take pictures) while outside to adjust focus and exposure, then press the button fully to take picture. If your camera cannot adjust to take a properly exposed picture (not bright white), then it is possible that the shutter speed is stuck on a too high speed, outside daytime shutter speed should be fast (1/1000 sec). Or if your shutter speed adjust accurately, it could be the aperture if the aperture is not small enough for daylight shooting. This is likely a software problem. Try adjusting your settings manually and see if the picture turns out!

What settings would I use taking low light action pictures

In general, taking action pictures is all about getting as much light in the camera as possible. In lieu of light, you can increase the camera's sensitivity to the light. This is called your ISO sensitivity and the higher the ISO, the more sensitive to light your camera is, and therefore they allow you to shoot with a faster shutter speed. The faster your shutter speed, the clearer your action pictures will be. In general, try a shutter speed of at least 1/250. Be warned: The higher your ISO, the more grainy your pictures may be, and if you have a consumer-end camera (point-and-shoot, or 4/3rds SLR) any higher than ISO 800 will most likely destroy the quality of your photos. If possible at all, try adding more light.

Hope this helped.

Adjust shutter speed

On most indoor shots the shutter speed will normally be 1/30 if you need or want it to be faster than that the only way to do that with this camera is to set the ISO to a higher value. Page 29 of your user manual explains how to set the ISO value for the camera to allow for faster shutter speeds.

Poor quality pictures.

You need to adjust the shutter speed-if there is a tv setting on it-use it to adjust the shutter speed to something like not 1/4 of a second but 1/1000 of a second what this is how much light is allowed to come in and the longer the shutter speed the worst the picture will be

I need to change settings for samsung L201

You can reset all settings to the original defaults by following the instructions on page 74 of the manual:
http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/200810/20081006113527265_L200_English.pdf

Page 41 explains the ISO settings, which seem to be straight forward to me.. The larger the ISO number, the greater sensitivity to light, so the faster shutter speeds you can use (the larger the shutter speed number the faster it is - ie 125 is faster than 60). The drawback of the ISO is that more noise will appear in the images (dark areas look grainy)

To avoid blur, either take your shots on a tripod or ensure that the shutter speed is at least 1/60 of a second

Shutter speed

Sounds like you are having some photo taking issues. There is a rule of thumb for shooting, It is the focal length must be equal to or less than the shutter speed. Example. 100 mm lens must have 1/100 of a second or faster when hand holding a camera. If your shots are too blurry or out of focus, try using faster film speed, ie. 400 asa or 800 or 1600, try using a flash if you are going to be at 1/60 a second. The faster the film you use, allows you to have a faster shutter speed. Another option is to use a tripod, and then your shutter speed is irrelevant.

Shutter speed

shutter speed has nothing to do with battery power. If you have a SLR camera you use the shutter speed option when you want to have control of the shutter speed, slow shutter speed means if your taking a picture of a waterfall and you want to see the actual droplets you set a slow shutter speed, if you want it to look more smooth/flowing you set a faster shutter speed, if you do not have a SLR camera you probably dont have much say so in shutter speed...
