Shutter Speeds



Shutter Speed

Shutter speed is the time in which it takes for a cameras shutter to close in the process of taking a picture. When the time it takes for the shutter to close is faster the detail is sharper on a focused object. When the shutter time is slower, for example a case in which you would take a picture of a landscape, the distance picture will be more blurred and less sharp unless using a tripod to keep the camera steady. 

The fastest that a shutter speed can go is 1/4000th of a second. In comparison the slowest a shutter speed can go is 30 seconds.

As you can see in this image a fast shutter speed has the capability of freezing movement whilst a slow shutter speed blurs a subject.
