To the best of my knowledge, it is the Olympus E3 at 1/8000 second as of 2008. However, an important measure of digital camera speed is also fps (frames per second) as the camera must meter and check focus and other settings before taking the shot. At present DSLRs can't be beat in this regard. Compact digitals usually suffer from shutter lag. Casio claims the fastest fps at 60 fps, 6.0MP, jpeg as of Aug. 2007. You should denote from this that the fps numbers alone mean nothing unless everyone is using the same yardstick. When have the manufacturers ever done that?

How does shutter speed control the amount of light entering a camera?

The Shutter Speed. If the shutter speed is positioned at 2000 you'll have a very quick exposure, this is best used if its very bright outside. If the shutter speed is at 75, you'll have a very long exposure, best used if its cloudy or dark.


How do you properly use exposures with photography?

To use exposures, it is best to know what they are. Exposures are combinations of film speed, shutter speed, and aperture. To use them best, a photographer should use the results (via the camera's light meter) to see if the combinations will create the desired light in camera's sensor (digital) or film.

Do most digital cameras offer the capability to control image quality and why would you ever want to take lower-quality images?

The "iso" control on a digital camera adjusts the image quality. As to why you'd want to...maybe there's enough light to take a best-quality picture at 1/30 second...but the thing you want to photograph has to be shot at 1/250 second. By adjusting the "iso" control to give you a grainier picture, you can use the shutter speed the picture requires.


How do you get a clean picture on a digital camera?

My guess is you're asking about motion blur. Try these effects, depending on the speed of subject motion and the effect you desire. 1) use a slow enough shutter speed to induce motion blur. You may need a tripod to steady the camera if it gets to be too slow to hand hold. Subject in motion will blur to some degree. 2) Using an example of a fast moving car: Pre-focus on the spot where you want the subject to be when you take the shot. You will have to consult your camera manual on how to do this if it is an autofocus model. Begin following the moving subject, keeping it in the viewfinder. Just as it approaches the predetermined spot, take the picture, and follow through a bit (don't stop following the subject when you press the shutter release). The car will be relatively sharp while the background will become a blur.

What is the best quality camera with the slowest shutter?

I am not sure if you are asking about a digital camera or a old style camera. If you want a good older camera that would be a Cannon as you can set the shutter speed on it. If you are talking about a digital camera then you should hold the shutter button down longer.

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 best way to compare different digital cameras?

The best way to compare digital camera is to look at the specifications of different models in relation to the needs of the person who wants to buy it. For example, if a person would like to take basic pictures occasionally, he or she would probably want to look for a digital camera that is cheap and effective with a decent amount of megapixels. A professional might want to check the shutter speed, flash options, accessories, or memory.


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.


Can you overcome shutter delay?

Most digital cameras, unfortunately, have some shutter delay. Shutter delay is the time between when the shutter release is pressed and when the image is actually captured. Shutter delay becomes more of a nuisance when you are taking action shots or even portraits. The split second difference could mean missing the winning catch at a football game or your baby�s first smile. The best way to find out about a camera�s shutter delay is to try out the camera at the store or review product review web sites. Many people will report on the shutter delay or offer tips for reducing it. One tip for overcoming shutter delay is to set your camera to continuous mode (if your camera has this mode). You hold down the shutter-release button as the camera takes a rapid succession of shots. Additional Tip. On most cameras press down the shutter half way so the camera focuses and sets up the picture (exposure etc), keep the shuuter release at this position until the subject is how you want it then press the shutter all the way. Most camera shutter delay is because it takes time to focus the camera and set up the electronics. The shutter will not operate until all this has finished. That why you can miss your shot.


What is the best carrying case for a small digital camera?

A leather carrying case would be best for a small digital camera.


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.
