Shutter speeds determine the length of time that the shutter is open, and that the film or sensor receives light. If I wanted to freeze the motion of a speeding car for example, I would need to have the shutter open for a very short period of time. If I wanted to show that the car is moving, I would leave the shutter open for a bit longer. Many different effects can be achieved by changing the shutter speed.
1/4000 - 30sec
Focal plane shutter with speeds from 30 seconds to 1/4,000 of a second.
Slow shutter speed - keeps the shutter curtain open for longer periods of time, e.g. when you shoot at night or in fading low light. Fast shutter speeds are used to capture action or when scene you are trying to shoot is well lit. In this case the shutter opens and closes in a fraction of a second!
All cameras have multiple shutter speeds and depending the mode your camera is (Manual, Auto, etc...) the camera will choose what shutter speed it thinks will be appropriate for the picture. And most cameras will also not tell you the shutter speed you used, while some will.
in manual mode press trash button. then press left or right on the kew pad for shutter speeds. note: functions will high light in RED
A shutter bug is a person who likes bugs all different species!
As I believe I understand your question the adjective phrase Speed Cameras refers tohigh shutter speed to stop motion or take pictures of moving events such as horse races. as such there are several different types. by a sort of concveiton the termspeed is lited to shutter speeds of l/l000 of a second and up. Thus Speed Graphicwhich was introudced way back in l9l2 (Titanic!) tehre ws also a German camera called a Speed Nettel and varios remote-release speed protocols for the Swedish Hasselblads someof which are inrtended for police surveillance use. i am not sure i entirely understand your q
1/4 1/8 1/50 1/200 1/4000 etc...
Depending on the swith you use you can see speeds betwenn 10 and 1000 Mbps.
You neeed to use a fast shutter speed to freeze any sort of action when you are photographing sports, action or even fast moving wildlife or birds. Usually well over 1/500th of a second. You may need to change your ISO setting to 400 to 800 if you want to use high shutter speeds, on not-so-bright days, that are overcast, cloudy or without sunlight.
Shutter speed can also be refered to as exposure on some cameras.. the lower the # the longer the shutter stays open... Usually slowing shutter speeds is done for effects photos or low light conditions.. It's crucial that the camera remain still when using a slow shutter speed.
When a photographer pushes film, they use the film at a faster speed than it's rated for which allows for faster shutter speeds. Fast shutter speeds allow for capturing fast moving objects. If you push film, you need to let the lab that develops it know what speed you pushed it to so that they can process it correctly. Example: ISO 100 rated film can be pushed to ISO 200 or even ISO 400.
