ADVERTISEMENTS

Shutter is a very important component of the camera, which helps regulate the amount of light to the sensor. If you master the techniques to set the shutter speed, you will have the photos as you want.


What is shutter speed?

Shutter speed is a common term in photography. Understood in a simple way, it refers to the speed of recorded images. When taking a photo, the shutter opens and allows light through the lens to the sensor. Shutter open time is called shutter speed.

Shutter speed is fast usually between 1/125 seconds or less, such as 1/250 or 1/500 second (larger the denominator, the faster speed). On the other hand, the shutter speed is slow when it is collapsible for 1/30 seconds or more, for example 1/15 or 1/8 seconds.

Fast shutter speed can "freeze motion", and this is useful when shooting fast-moving objects such as the car is running, who is running ... Fast shutter speed and help blurred blurry photos.

Slow shutter speed allows the light sensor is more, so they are often used for shooting in low-light case. However, the image will be easily blurred by camera shake when handling. So when shooting with a slow shutter speed, you need a tripod to stabilize the image.

Slower shutter speed applications in imaging techniques "exposure" landscape. Images obtained will have a unique magic.

How to adjust the shutter speed

The shoot cameras usually shutter speed automatically align. If your camera supports speed priority mode, denoted by S (or Tv - depending on the manufacturer), you can affect the speed of the shutter.

The adjustment is relatively simple, usually after you have chosen S or Tv mode, you only need to turn the wheel side on the camera body or the corresponding button to decrease shutter speed.

If you do not have experience adjusting parameters, you can refer to several situations below:
  • Speed ​​1/4000s: freeze all motion
  • 1/2000s speed: catch "stick" of a bird in flight
  • Speed ​​1/1000s: freeze the motion of cars and motorcycles.
  • Speed ​​1/500s: freeze the motion of the athletes, terrain vehicle or who is running.
  • Speed ​​1/125s: used to take panning motorcycles, cars (snap moving objects with blurred background create a sense of motion)
  • Speed ​​1/60s: shooting panning terrain vehicles are moving close to the lens
  • Speed ​​1/30s: shooting panning cycling athletes at a distance lens
  • Speed ​​1/15s: shooting panning joggers, children playing or animals
  • 1/8s speed: blur water flowing near the lens
  • 1/4s speed: blur movement of pedestrians
  • Speed ​​1/2s: Blurring the water is flowing slowly.
  • 1 second or slower speed: capture exposure, effects "Milky River"
