YSTV almost always uses a shutter speed of 50 per second.  Any slower and things appear to move indistinctly, any faster and you reduce the amount of light for no real advantage (in ''exceptionally'' bright light it may be necessary to make it faster).  The shutter speed is not on the main menu, you have to enter the detailed menu to alter it.  Press the 'menu' button, then from there 'P.Menu'

The iris is a physical barrior inside the camera which can be opened or closed (by internal motors) to limit the amount of light entering the camera, in the same way as the iris of an eye does.  Closing or opening the iris doesn't have any (significant) effects on the image recorded by the camera.  (Having it more open will reduce the 'depth of field' of the camera, but this isn't something that needs to be known.)
