Question

It's a nikon coolpixL4. Thanks for you help! :)

Answer 1

The Nikon Coolpix L4 does not have any manual controls, so you cannot select your own shutter speed or aperture.
You have to select either AUTO...or one of the various SCENE MODES available.
If you want to upgrade in the future, make sure the camera has FULL manual control as an option.
