No, you can set the shutter speed manually.  Most NTSC camcorders default
at 1/60th second shutter speed (1/100th for camcorder with electronic
image stabilization).  But you can certainly use a high shutter speed - up
to 1/100,000th second for some; just that the video won't look smooth
anymore.

The blur you see is mostly due to the effect of interlaced video (please
see my other post on this thread).  Otherwise the frames would be the same
as 1/60th second exposure photos.
