Not completely sure what you are asking. Shutter speed is the amount of time the shutter is open. You adjust it for different lighting conditions (shutter open longer during darker conditions and vice versa).
Hope that answers your question. Wikipedia has a decent article about
Shutter speed - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia .
