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.


What is the shutter speed of the polaroid i1036?

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.


When could bracketing by shutter speed cause a problem?

When the higher or lower shutter speed either renders motion in an unacceptable way (depending on the subject matter) or the lower shutter speed is too slow for hand-holding the camera.


How do you get your shutter speed to slow down because when I do that the aperture won't work and it makes a dark picture and it won't let me go past a certain shutter speed limit on Nikon 42X P510?

When using a Nikon 42x P510 camera it is very easy to slow down the shutter speed. On the side of the camera there is a dial that you can access to slow or speed up the shutter speed.


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 the relationship between shutter speed and exposure in photography?

Shutter speed and exposure in photography are closely related. Shutter speed refers to the amount of time the camera's shutter is open to allow light to hit the camera sensor. A faster shutter speed lets in less light, resulting in a darker image, while a slower shutter speed lets in more light, resulting in a brighter image. Therefore, adjusting the shutter speed directly affects the exposure of a photograph.


Why is shutter speed used?

The shutter speed setting controls the picture exposure, or how dark or bright the picture will be. Wikipedia has some very good information on shutter speed and aperture.


How does shutter speed improve photographs?

It doesn't necessarily inprove your picture. The higher the shutter speed, the less light, also the blur in a photo. A higher shutter speed will freeze a photo. A lower shutter speed will blur most motion and will increase chances of blur.


What do you have to consider when selecting your shutter speed?

Shutter speed has a lot to do with your overall exposure. A higher shutter speed will decrease the light a lot. I was in best buy playing around with a camera and turned the camera shutter speed to 1/4000. After taking the photo, the preview was black. I realized it was because of how much higher I increase my shutter speed. Shutter speed also affects motion in a photo. A higher shutter speed will freeze all action in a photo a will less likely have a blur to it if you have a shaky hand. A lower shutter speed lets in more light while the shutter is will opened so the entire time that the shutter is open, the camera takes in all that light. Increasing chances of blur, you can also use this for crazy, funky effects! If your taking a picture of a waterfall with a low shutter speed, your gonna get a blur, which can typically look pretty epic sometimes too.


What is the relationship between exposure and shutter speed in photography?

In photography, the relationship between exposure and shutter speed is that the shutter speed controls the amount of time the camera's sensor is exposed to light. A faster shutter speed lets in less light, resulting in a darker image, while a slower shutter speed lets in more light, resulting in a brighter image.


How do you change the shutter speed on a camera?

To change the shutter speed on a camera, you typically adjust the settings using the dial or menu options on the camera. Shutter speed controls how long the camera's shutter remains open when taking a photo, affecting how motion is captured in the image. By selecting a faster shutter speed, you can freeze fast-moving subjects, while a slower shutter speed can create a sense of motion blur.


How to adjust shutter speed for optimal photography results?

To adjust shutter speed for optimal photography results, use a faster shutter speed to freeze motion or a slower shutter speed to create motion blur. Experiment with different settings to achieve the desired effect in your photos.


What shutter speed will allow the least amount of light into the camera?

The highest shutter speed available to you will give you the darkest exposure, while the lowest shutter speed available will give you the brightest exposure


What is the fastest shutter speed available on your camera?

The fastest shutter speed available on the camera is 1/8000 of a second.
