Shutter speed
Shutter speed is the length of time the shutter is open.
You can creat many interesting effects by adjusting the
shutter speed. A low shutter speed blurs motion on the
image. You can feel the speed in the picture when the
low shutter speed is used for a shot.
A fast shutter speed is essential for capturing the
movement. A faster shutter speed froze the subject in
its movement.
