Ok, i am into shooting downhill and freeride mountain biking, just me and my friends playin' in the woods. I looked at a video on Youtube and it had amazing quality for the camera, so i asked how he got it like that. He said he set his camera to the max shutter speed. What i am looking for is how to change the shutter speed on my camera, there must be a way because the minimum is 1/60 second and the maximum is 1/4000 second. Thanks for any help.
How to change the Shutter Speed on a Sony Handycam DCR-HC28?
Did you read the camcorder's Operating Guide?

See page 42. When it is on in video capture mode, select the MENU. Select the %26quot;MANUAL SET%26quot; item. Select %26quot;AUTO SHUTTER%26quot;. Turn it off - and you can select the shutter speed.
The faster the shutter speed, the less light gets in to the imaging chip. Chances are good that if you set it at 1/4000, there will not be enough light. 1/1000 or so should be fine when it is good daylight.
