Nikon D7000: choosing shutter speed?

Hi. I'm sure this is going to sound stupid, but I was wondering if anyone could point me to the button or menu for choosing the shutter speed on the Nikon D7000 camera. I'm not talking about the general options between self timer, quality, etc (S, CL, CH, Q, etc), but really choosing the shutter speed, like 1/500, for example. Is it possible on this camera? Thanks in advance!

Added (1). Right. Of course I know it's in the manual, the reason I'm asking is because I can't find said manual at the moment,

Added (2). Sometimes people just feel like buying a particular thing ok? I felt like buying this camera, so I did and now I have ONE question (I figured out the rest thanks!) and I did say it would sound stupid (I'm fully aware of how elementary shutter speed is), so I would appreaciate it if people could just answer the question or don't bother commenting.

I'm amazed at the number of people buying the D7000, and then posting questions on how to use it. The D7000 is an advanced amateur DSLR camera. If you want to learn about using DSLRs, buy the D3100 as it has a tutorial system to guide you though how to make different settings.

Of course it is possible. It has been possible on every SLR and DSLR camera since the… Well i don't know since when

have you read your manual at all? It is all explained there, I swear.

for future reference, pretty much all manuals of all cameras are on the internet

Set the Mode dial to either S (shutter priority) or P (programmed mode). While looking though the viewfinder, rotate the dial in the back of the camera body by your right thumb. You'll see the shutterspeed change, both in the viewfinder, as well as on the topdeck lcd screen.

It you find that you can't change the shutterspeed to the range you want (eg: 1/250 or faster to capture action), then you need to increase the ISO or rotate the front dial to change the f/stop.

If the owner's manual is overwhelming (still haven't read all of mine) here's a different, Plain English Guide I'd suggest you download, print off, and keep in a folder. I've done the same for his versions for every one of my Nikon DSLR's.

Do this, spend some time with your manual. Highlight key parts and use sticky notes so you can make it useful for you.
