SHUTTER CONTROL
In addition to controlling the duration of the exposure, shutter speeds determine how moving subjects will appear in the final image. Use a fast shutter speed to stop the motion of your subject, use a slow shutter speed to blur the motion.

Slow shutter speeds will make a moving subject appear to flow, creating a feeling of motion.
Fast shutter speeds can stop the action and also help prevent blurring caused by camera movement during exposure, known as camera shake.
•Usable apertures will depend on the aperture range of the lens you are using.
