f/1, f/1.4, f/2, f/2.8, f/4, f/5.6, f/8, f/11, f/16, f/22, f/32 are the usual full stops in aperture. You could have a full stop difference between two half or thirds as well.

a full stop is when the light is halved or doubled between the two settings. so in shutter speeds if the time is close to doubled or halved its considered a stop so going from 1/30th to 1/60th would be a stop and the next nominal stop down would be 1/125th of a second.

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 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.

How can the stop motion shutter speed be adjusted to achieve the desired effect in photography or filmmaking?

To adjust the stop motion shutter speed for desired effects in photography or filmmaking, you can increase or decrease the speed to control the amount of motion blur in each frame. A faster shutter speed freezes motion and creates sharp images, while a slower shutter speed captures motion blur for a more dynamic effect. Experimenting with different shutter speeds can help achieve the desired look for your project.

Will changing the camera's f-stop change the camera's shutter speed?

It depends on the camera setting.Many cameras have a setting A or Av that lets you change the f-stop and the camera will change the shutter speed automatically.The manual setting (often M) will not change the shutter speed, on manual you are left to your own devices.See related link for an overview of common settings.


How can adjusting the shutter speed help to stop motion in photography?

Adjusting the shutter speed can help to stop motion in photography by allowing the camera to capture a faster image of a moving subject, freezing the action in place. A faster shutter speed reduces the amount of time the camera's sensor is exposed to light, resulting in a sharper image of fast-moving subjects.

Will changing the camera's f-stop will not change the camera's shutter speed?

If the camera is in an automatic or programmed mode, yes, the shutter speed will be changed by the on-board metering system if the aperture is changed. If it's in a manual mode, no.


How can I change the shutter speed on a Nikon D90?

To change the shutter speed on a Nikon D90, turn the mode dial to "S" for Shutter Priority mode. Then, use the command dial to adjust the shutter speed to your desired setting.


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.
