Hello IvoLeite

The HX9V is capable of a shutter speed of upto 30 seconds, and full instructions about how to set this up can be found here:

Bear in mind that if the camera isn't allowing you to adjust this setting, you may have to make sure that the 'burst' mode isn't set to take multiple photos and that automatic smile detection is off.

Hope this helps,

Simon

Thank you blaireau_photo. It was helpful.:smileylaugh:

I also found a review of this camera with a tutorial:

"You can do night shots with long time exposure in manual mode (M on the main dial wheel). Press the button in the middle of the circle dial (next to LCD display) to set ISO, exposure time and aperture value. As the figure for each of those settings is shown in larger view, turn the dial to increase or decrease the value. Maximum exposure time is 30 seconds."
