Shutter Speed Control
In addition to controlling the duration of the exposure, shutter
speed determines how moving subjects will appear in the
final image. Depending on the speed of your subject, slow
shutter speeds will make a moving subject appear to flow,
creating a feeling of motion. In addition to stopping action,
fast shutter speeds can help prevent blur caused by camera
movement during exposure, known as camera shake.
• To stop the motion of your subject, use a fast shutter speed.
• To blur the motion of your subject, set a slow shutter speed.
