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 does a shutter speed of 125 mean?

A shutter speed of 125 refers to the time the camera's shutter remains open to expose the sensor to light, specifically 1/125th of a second. This speed is a common setting for capturing images in bright conditions or when you want to freeze motion without blurring. Faster shutter speeds can help reduce motion blur, while slower speeds can create artistic effects, but at 1/125, most subjects will be captured clearly.


What is significance of shutter?

This will depend on what you are shooting. If you are shooying water a slow shutter speed will do - if it's sports photography you will need a fast shutter speed. The shutter is a mechanical device that controls the length of time that light is allowed to act on the film. With a shutter speed of 1/125 you shoud avoid blur if the subject is not moving. Any speed under this your camera should be placed on a tripod. www.goldprints.com

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?
