My parents gave me an Olympus D-390 digital camera for my birthday, and I've had great fun doing still shots and such with it....however, the shutter speed is slooooooooowwwww....now, I'm no photographer, nor do I know much about cameras, but it's ridiculously slow. Very slight movements while taking pictures (as in normal hand quiver) causes very visible blurring on pictures unless they are very wide angle...almost useless for even basic climbing pictures where the subject is just barely moving. Just people walking at slow speed about 10 meters away turn out unacceptably blurry. Now, I know the shutter speed is changable, but not directly. Since it's a very low-end, entry-level digital, it has these presets that "chose the best options on shutter speed etc" for given conditions. I've experimented with these presets, and I think even disposable cameras get a faster speed. Does anybody know any "undocumented features" that might be handy? I'm thinking that I'm most likely stuck with very, very still shots...but just tought I'd toss out a post about it.
EDIT: Okay, I just checked the specs out a little more....it says it can get a min shutter speed of 1/500th second....now if the manual would only tell me how to set it.....

If there is a "sports" setting , or a pic of a gun running, use that.

Check out www.dpreview.com, there's a large amount of information about many (all?) digital cameras there, as well as a forum to ask others who own it... :-)
