You cannot manually change the shutter speed and/or aperture because the FE-310 is a point %26amp; shoot camera, meaning the camera takes full control.
However, you CAN use one of the scene modes if you want the camera to apply a different shutter speed/aperture. For instance, if you want the camera to use a faster shutter speed (to stop or freeze action), you should use the 'Sport' setting. This works best in good lighting.
Or, if you want to shoot at night (using a slow shutter speed), you will need to mount the camera on a tripod, set the delay timer and use the 'Fireworks' setting.
There is no setting to make your camera focus better (especially in very low light), because it's a limitation of your camera's auto-focus system. Making sure there is adequate light available, is the only way around it.
p.s. also check page 39 of your instruction manual, 'Shooting Tips'...Subjects That Are Difficult to Focus On.
