Shutter Speed and Motion
Shutter Speed • Shutter Speed controls how long light is
allowed to hit the film • Full stops
– 1” 1/2 1/4 1/8 1/15 1/30 1/60 1/125… – Your camera may show just the second half of the
number 2, 4, 8, 15 – A quotation mark after the number denotes
seconds – A number with no quotation marks is a fraction of
a second • When motion is the important aspect of the
shot choose your shutter speed first and then meter to get the correct aperture
Shutter Speed
• Shutter speed controls whether a moving object will be in focus or blurred
• To get fast shutter speeds, you may have to choose a high ISO film
• To get slower shutter speeds you may have to choose a low ISO film
• You will get more motion blur from something crossing in front of you than from an object coming toward you

Night Photography • You will need to be prepared to deal with slow
shutter speeds. • Either bring a tripod or find a place to set your
camera • In order to keep from shaking the camera with
your hands, set your self timer • Meter for visible light-your meter reading is a
starting point – You may have to fiddle with your exposure
settings • Beware of setting your ISO too high and
getting excessive noise

Slow Shutter Speed and Flash • Normally your flash is synced with your
shutter speed at higher speeds (around 1/60) • You can force your flash to fire along with
slower shutter speeds for different effects • Whenever the flash fires, there will be
stopped motion and then during the rest of the exposure the camera will record the motion blurFront Curtain (regular) Flash
