How to Change the Shutter Speed of the Sony Camera in Yahoo

Adjusting the shutter speed in Yahoo Messenger is easy with a few simple steps.

Yahoo Messenger is an interactive instant messaging client that allows users to stay in touch with family and friends over the internet. When you team the messenger up with a Sony webcam, you can have virtualized conversations with people. One of the biggest downfalls of the webcam is the shutter speed. When the speed is set at too high a level, the images can freeze or become blurry. Changing this speed will give the images better quality.
