When does the problem of camera shake begin in terms of shutter speed?
Wiki User

the traditional rule of thumb is to shoot no slower than the reciprocal of the lens focal length so 1/30th sec for a 28 mm lens, 1/60 for 50mm and 1/500 for a 300mm.

What is steady shot?
Steady shot is a form of Image stabilisation built into the camera, so that you can take pictures and not have to worry too much about camera shake. This is an especially good feature if you are shooting in low light conditions, and the camera is using a slow shutter speed...
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.
At what f stop you need a tripod?
The use of a tripod does not relate or depend upon the choice of aperture. It depends on a relationship between the shutter speed, the lens focal length and your ability to hold a camera properly and steadily. The general rule of thumb is, use a tripod if the shutter speed is slower than one divided by the lens focal length so as not to induce camera shake. For example, if the focal length is 250 mm, the slowest safe shutter speed would be 1/250.
How would you set the ISO for shutter speed and aperture for correct exposure on a rainy day and why?
The ISO speed, shutter, and aperture are all interconnected. There is never necessarily one "correct" setting for all 3. However, if you're not shooting on a tripod, you probably want to set your shutter speed to 1/60 to reduce camera shake. To eliminate grain, you may want to keep your ISO below 400. It may be cloudy on a rainy day, so you may be able to shoot at f/8 or f/11. Of course, on most digital cameras you could select a shutter priority (meaning the camera will adjust the aperture for correct exposure at a shutter speed of 1/60) and then set your ISO to 400. The camera will automatically meter the scene and set the aperture correctly.
What does 'IS' mean for digital camera?
For Canon cameras 'IS' refers to "Image Stabilisation". Nikon have the same technology but they call it "VR" - "Vibration Reduction" and other manufacturers have different names for it but they all amount to the same thing. With some SLR camera manufactures the image stabilisation is built into the body of the camera but generally the IS is built into the lens. It reduces the effect of "camera shake" which can make your images blurry at lower shutter speeds.
What is a safe shutter speed when you are using your camera in wide angle mode?
By safe shutter, speed I assume you are wanting to know the slowest shutter speed that will not capture noticeable camera shake? There is no absolute answer to this. How much do your hands shake? The 'rule of thumb' I have used is 1/{focal length}. For a 400mm lens you would need a 1/400 sec or to use a tripod to avoid noticeable camera shake. For the 18mm you might get away with 1/20 or so. Although I despise using tripods, they will always give a sharper picture. You might need a microscope to tell, but you can tell.
Why is it that when you photograph stars at night using a camera with a very slow shutter speed on a tripod you get a streaking or blurring of the star patterns on the picture?
The streaking is probably caused by the movement of the stars if you have a very slow shutter speed. ie. Because the earth is rotating enough during your long exposure that the starlight makes the "trail".Another factor could be that the you may need to use a remote release for the Camera to ensure you do not have any inadvertent camera shake when you press the shutter._______________________________________________________________________The dude above is right. The motion of the stars would cause the blurred effect. However it is more logical to assume his latter explanation. When you take the photo, actually pressing the shutter button causes enough vibration to slightly distort the picture.A simple way to avoid this is to use a timer, set the time to about 2 seconds press the shutter and get out of the way so the camera won't shake. I had the same problem but I used that idea to save me.

Why in Olympus digital camera shakes while clicking without flash?
This is something that can happen with any camera and is not specific just to Olympus. To understand the relationship between camera shake when using a camera with or without flash, you first need to understand the basics of shutter speed, camera metering and flash. The shutter speed in how fast your camera closes the shutter when snapping a picture. Fast shutter speeds of 1/160th of a second and higher are usually required for freezing action. Even at 1/160th, you may get some blurry images depending on what is being photographed. Also, a faster shutter speed allows less light in through the lens and slower more light. This speed needs to be adjusted to capture the proper balance of light for the photograph called Exposure. Most people that use a point and shoot camera are using the automatic modes, such as P(Program). In these modes, the camera is using it's internal meter to control how fast the shutter needs to be for a proper exposure. In a low light situation, the shutter will be slow. Since the shutter is open longer, this will cause camera shake due to the small variations and shakes you are making with your hands. It may not be noticeable to you, but it is to your camera's sensor. So why does it go away when using flash? The answer is simple. Flash happens a fractions of a second... much faster than your camera's shutter. This instant light pulse reaches your subject before the ambient light has time to register on your camera's sensor. Since this light information is seen immediately a so briefly, it freezes your subject in place. Even with a longer exposure, the illuminated subject should stay frozen while ambient light fills the rest of the frame. A trick you can try is setting your camera to a manual exposure and set the shutter speed to 2 or 3 seconds. Take a flash photo of someone, but move the camera around after the flash. Your subject should be relatively frozen while the rest of the frame is blurry or shaky.

What is an agricultural overdraft?
Either one will work. What will be more important is your skill as a phtoographer (if you overexpose your photos, you will wash out the color). If you don't keep your hand steady, you will shake the camera when you snap the shutter, resulting in poor picture quality.

What is the difference between subject movement and camera shake?
With subject movement, the subject moves. Camera shake is where the camera moves. Camera shake will cause the entire photo to be out of focus or blurred, while subject movement will show only the subject as being blurred.
What camera lens for photographing art work in gallery?
you would need either a good BRIDGE camera or a SLR. you need to check the camera is straight on to the subject, and the best lens is a non-zoom with no barrel- or pincushion distortion. as these cameras view through the lens, you also have the best chance of avoiding reflections, or uneven lighting spoiling the shot. most important is a good tripod (not necessarily expensive) and either remote shutter release or delayed shutter release to avoid camera shake-your subject won't mind waiting a second or two!

What shutter speed setting allows the photographer to keep the shutter open indefinaltely?
Hello, not all cameras have this setting, but on SLR's the setting is called "BULB". This refers to the old cable release device which had an air filled plastic bulb on one end. When the bulb was pressed and held down, a little cable rod pushed down on the shutter release button. As long as you held the bulb, the shutter would stay open. The bulb was on a cable because the alternative was to press the shutter button with your finger, which might shake the camera and give you a blurred image. On modern cameras, you can probably use the bulb function in conjunction with the self-timer. Set your camera to bulb, turn the self timer on and press the shutter button. Your hands will be well away from the camera when the shutter opens, then just quickly press the shutter button again or turn off the bulb function when you have achieved your desired exposure. In film SLR's you have to watch out for fogging in the frame and the other frames immediately before and after with really long exposures, because light has a way of creeping around inside the camera if the shutter is left open too long. Use small apertures. Hope that's helpful. www.lords-stock-photography-emporium.co.uk
