What is a safe shutter speed when you are using your camera in high zoom?

A general rule of thumb is to divide 1 by the focal length being used. At 200mm (1/200), the safer choice would be 1/250. You need to consider your ability to steadily hand-hold the weight of camera and lens, which may be influenced by your opportunity to employ bracing your arms against some sturdy object such as a wall or tree. Of course, the technique you employ to hold the camera and lens will be a factor. A lens should always be cradled in the upturned palm of your hand whenever possible.

How do you control over shutter angle in camera?
"Shutter Angle" refers to rotary shutters used in motion picture cameras, a lower shutter angle (in degrees) means less light is allowed to expose the film and less motion blur is captured, higher angle and more light is let and more motion blur appear on flim. 180 degrees or 1/48th of a second (at 24 fps) is considered normal. The shutter angle is controlled by the shape of the rotary shutter, some cameras allow you to change the shape of the shutter or swap out for different shape shutters. Some newer or high-end cameras allow you to change the shape of the shutter while still in-camera. Your question was filed under photography, so possibly you mean "shutter speed" if your camera allows for manual control of the shutter speed it will be in 1/Nth of a second increments. A shutter speed of 1/125th of a second was taught to me as a good shutter speed to start at for medium focal lengths for a beginning shooter - to avoid blurry pictures. Also, if you're trying to freeze water in motion, birds in flight or people in motion, a high shutter speed will work well. Above 1/500th or 1/1000th of second if your camera is capable will create the desired effect. To answer effectively we probably need to know the model of camera you are using, and the purpose, happy shooting!
How does the film relate to the shutter speed?
The slower the film -- that is, the lower the ISO rating -- the longer the shutter must stay open at a particular aperture (F-stop). In low light with slow film, the shutter may have to stay open too long for the camera to be hand-held without noticeable camera shake, even with cameras with optical image stabilization.
Given that the image is already visible on the screen on the back of my digital camera what is the sequence of events in the camera when you push the shutter?
When you push the shutter, all pixels of the camera become active and begin absorbing light while the shutter is open. This allows for high quality and non-grainy pictures. The live preview shown on cameras is only a very low quality preview for a small screen so you know what you are pointing the camera at.
What three conditions will a fast shutter speed be useful?
1. High light. 2. Action. 3. High ISO.
What setting is recommended if you are shooting in low light?
A lens with lower aperture would be great, something less than F2.8 would give you more light to the subject, ISO should be around 400-1600 ( mid range- high range camera) , keep the shutter speed around 1/200-1/20, if you have tripod you can go for lower shutter speed.
Why won't my shutter speed change from 1000?
Question needs to be more specific. Brand and model of camera and operational mode that you are using.If the shutter speed is very high, chances are you are shooting in very bright light and the camera has some kind of inbuilt sensor which adjusts accordingly.

What kind of camera is best to take pictures of sprinters?
You would want a camera, such as a Nikon or Canon, with a high shutter speed, because without that, a runner would simply be a blur. A high-end Nikon would do the trick perfectly.
What are the characteristics of a Nikon 17-55mm camera?
The Nikon 17-55 mm camera has an advanced shutter speed of 1/200 seconds and a focal length of 17 mm. It features high speed auto focusing and is extremely accurate with fine optics.
What element is used in high speed photography?
High shutter speed and fast lens/Big open aperture.
How do you know what initial aperture to set?
It depends on what your shooting, you can also use AUTO mode on your camera to have your camera choose what aperture it thinks its best. If you have a high shutter speed than you might want to choose a bigger aperture (f/2 around there). But if you want a larger depth of field you need to choose a lower aperture (around f/32) and a lower shutter speed.
Camera that can be used in the dark?
Any Camera can be used in the dark with a flash, however if your wish to take a picture without a flash many things come into play. First you need a camera that you can set the ISO speed, Aperture, and Shutter Speed. This is best with a digital SRL Camera. Depending on the lighting set the Aperture at the larges opening wich will be the lowest f number. Set the ISO at the highest setting (1600 or higher if available). and I like to start with a shutter speed of 1/100. Then play with the setting depending on conditions. When shooting at the high ISO speed your picture may get "noise" undeveloped points. It takes alot of practice to get the right settings. I prefer on my camera to set it on shutter priorty TV and let the camera set the aparature size. But i still start with at least a ISO setting of 800.

What is a disadvantage of a programmable camera?
You mean a "program" camera? There are three forms of automatic exposure: aperture-priority (usually marked "Av" - aperture value - on the camera's control knob), shutter priority (usually marked "Tv" - time value) and program. When you use aperture priority you set the f/stop and the camera picks the shutter speed to give the proper exposure. In shutter priority you pick the shutter speed and the camera picks the f/stop. In program mode the camera picks both.The disadvantage of program exposure is it takes control of the image out of the hands of the photographer.The advantage - and there is a huge one - is it lets the photographer worry about composing the picture without worrying about setting the camera. I know newspaper photographers. When they go to a fire or a crime scene, they hang the fastest lens they have on their cameras, set them to "high speed program" and go shoot. This gets them the most usable images and leaves them free to worry about more important things, like not getting run over by a fire engine.

How do you use underwater photography?
There is no difference except that your camera is in a water proof case, and you need to do research on how to get good photos underwater since there's a limited light source, and moving fish require a high shutter speed.
