My Nikon D80 manual gives an example of a fast shutter speed at 1/1600 S and a slow shutter speed at 1s for taking a waterfall pics.

When I view the control panel it doesn't give me an option to set my exposure to 1s.

The only options I have are various numbers with a small "o" following it. For example: 1o, 13, 15, 2o, 25, 3o, 4o, 5o, 6o, 7o, 8o, 1oo, 125, 16o, 2oo, and so on.

I've been taking decent portraits and landscape pics, however I'm wanting to get better waterfall pics but I'm having trouble trying to get a slow shutter speed. Any advice on what I could be doing wrong? This is my 1st DSLR. I moved up from many point and shoots and have had my camera for a few weeks. Thanks for any advice you may have.
