Exposure/shutter speed?

Okay, I have a Sony dsc-s980. It retails for about $200-250. I have been trying to find out how to change the shutter speed? Is it possible that you can't manually change the speed? If not, how do you do it? If not, is there A way to trick or manipulate the camera to do it yourself? Thanks much!
Exposure/shutter speed?
Okay, google tells me that that camera has ISO's of:



Auto ISO, ISO 100, ISO 200, ISO 400, ISO 800, ISO 1600, ISO 3200





The higher the ISO number, the higher the exposure of your images, and apparently you can adjust that manually.



However, as a point and shoot camera it has extremely limited manual modes, so you won't be able to change shutter speed.



The best you'll be able to do is post process your images with photoshop or the like.
Exposure/shutter speed?
You have a P%26amp;S camera that decides everything for the user. Some of them have a mode that allows an advanced user to choose aperture or shutter speed modes, but the S980 is not one of them



You will have to use some of the preset exposure modes to fool the camera.
Ok the first obvious answer would be %26quot;What does the manual say?%26quot;



But then I went to the trouble to check out your manual, and I sadly have to say that it does not seem that Sony intend for you to change the shutter speed, or even the aperture. Looks like the only way to get by is to increase / decrease the ISO sensitivity. Not the way to do photography...



Ok, that means that you have a snappy picture camera. What you would want is a photography camera. Never thought phototgraphy would come to this. :(
