Sony 350 digital camera Shutter speed?
A 2 second shutter speed is a long shutter speed and will require the use of a tripod. To use such a long shutter speed in the daytime will require a low ISO and a very small aperture and you'll still need a Neutral Density (ND) filter. Its actually impossible to achieve a 2 sec. shutter speed on a sunny day without an ND filter. The %26quot;Sunny 16 Rule%26quot; can be used to prove this. It states: %26quot;On a sunny day, set your aperture to f16 and your shutter speed to 1/ISO.%26quot; Using your camera's minimum ISO of 100 means you'd be using a shutter speed of 1/100 @ f16 on a sunny day. If you're using the 18-70mm lens you can stop down to f22 at 18mm and drop your shutter speed to 1/50 sec. At 70mm you can stop down to f36 and get a shutter speed of approx. 1/20 sec.

Its time to READ %26amp; STUDY the Owner's Manual for your camera. That is how you learn to actually use your camera and all its features.
Taking a couple of photography classes will be of great benefit to you.
Reading %26quot;Understanding Exposure%26quot; and %26quot;Understanding Shutter Speed%26quot;, both by Bryan Peterson, is also going to help you.
Photographer/author David Busch (http://www.dbusch.com/) wrote a Guide for your A350. Buy it. It fills in the blanks in the Owner's Manual.
Photography - like math and history and biology and chemistry - requires study. If you don't study, you fail.
Sony 350 digital camera Shutter speed?
The Sony A350 is a dLSR...and you don't know how to set the shutter speed?
Really, you should READ your User Manual.
But, you need to turn the mode dial to S (shutter priority) to set your shutter speed. Or to set your Aperture AND Shutter speed, just turn the mode dial to M (Manual) and make your adjustments. A tripod is obviously need when using longer exposures.
Please READ your User Manual, because it has all the basic information you need.
