Some cameras keep a running total in the picture numbering system. See your manual.

What does 12.5 mean on the shutter speed?

It depends on where you are seeing this number. Most shutter speed conventions do not use o1/12.5 of a second as a shutter speed; the closest would probably be 15 meaning 1/15th of a second, which is a very long/slow shutter speed usually producing blurs if you're not using a tripod. I can't think of a camera with that as a preset shutter speed but your camera might. You may possibly be looking at an intermediate f-stop (between 11 and 16) being reported on your screen or wherever these are shown (your LCD?) when you are in shutter priority mode where you are setting a fixed shutter speed and then the camera automatically adjusts for f stop (aperture) based on WB and ISO and is sophisticated enough to report an f-stop between 11 and 16).


What is shutter speed in photography?

Shutter speed is how fast your shutter opens and closes to take a picture on your camera. Shutter speed also has a lot to do with exposure. The higher the shutter speed (1/2000 example) the less light.


How many types of cameras are there?

It's hard to give a simple answer. There are many types of cameras including:Single Use CamerasCompact Lens-Shutter CamerasBridge CamerasRangefindersTwin Lens ReflexSLR (Single Lens Reflex)Digital compacts and SLRs are one category, but film cameras come in many shapes and sizes for a number of different roles, from 8x10 inch view cameras (the size of the sheet film they take) to 110 pocket cameras.

Explain and compare the leaf shutter with the focal plain shutter?

requiring the expense of a separate shutter for each lens. Leaf shutter A leaf shutter is a type of camera shutter consisting of a mechanism with one or more pivoting metal leaves which normally does not allow light through the lens onto the film, but which when triggered opens the shutter by moving the leaves to uncover the lens for the required time to make an exposure, then shuts. Simple leaf shutters have a single leaf, or two leaves, which pivot so as to allow light through to the lens when triggered. If two leaves are used they have curved edges to create a roughly circular aperture. Some have more than one speed. Some of the most expensive and accurate cameras in the world also employ leaf-shutter mechanisms of one design or another. In modern point and shoot cameras the leaf-shutter is now allowing shutter speeds as fast as 1/40,000 second exposures along with perfect flash-sync at those shutter speeds, with flash speed durations as short as 1/224,000th of a second. Shutters for newer digital cameras are a combination of electronic and mechanical timings. Some cameras employ a 100% electronic shutter, created by turning on and off the imaging sensor's signals. Comparison of focal plane shutter with leaf shutter The leaf shutter positioned between or just behind the lens components, consists of a number of overlapping metal blades opened and closed either by spring action or electronically. The focal-plane shutter, located directly in front of the image plane, consists of a pair of overlapping blinds that form an adjustable slit or window; driven mechanically by spring or electronically. Comparison of leaf shutter with focal-plane shutter Modern shutters are of two principal types. The leaf shutter positioned between or just behind the lens components, consists of a number of overlapping metal blades opened and closed either by spring action or electronically.

How can I increase the shutter speed on my camera?

To increase the shutter speed on your camera, adjust the settings to a higher number, such as 1/500 or 1/1000. This will allow the shutter to open and close more quickly, capturing fast-moving subjects with less motion blur.

How many seconds is a normal shutter speed i have a Nikon n80 with adjustable shutter speed and i was wondering what the noraml shutter speed is?

Shutter speed depends upon available light, aperture, the subject, and camera settings. If a picture is being taken in low light with a slow lens (larger aperture number), then the shutter may need to stay open longer (represented in the camera as x" where x is one second or more, or 1/x where x is a smaller number). A picture with ample light could be a fraction of a second (represented in the camera as 1/x, with x being a larger number). Try visiting photography related websites to learn more about the art (and science) of photography, and you can pick up a few tricks at the same time.
