How to change the shutter speed on my camera?

I have a Nikon N55, and the shutter speed is really slow, so the picture blurs, even if the person only moves a little bit. Do you know how to make it faster? I would experiment, except film is really expensive, and I don't want to waste it.

See that dial on the top-left of your camera? Turn it to set the shutter speeds.

You need to adjust the shutter/speed and/or aperture. I would suggest you read the manual… Http://butkus.org/chinon/nikon/nikon_n55/nikon_n55.htm and then take a film photography course.

Use Manual - just make sure you adjust the aperture to compensate - or Shutter Priority if you have it.

Otherwise, invest in a flashgun. You should be using film of around ISO 400 indoors, although 100 or 200 is adequate for daylight.

Use shutter priority [S] on the control button, top left. Or manual [M] where you can select both speed and aperture.

What setting are you using at the moment?
