Shutter speed
Shutter speed is the length of time the shutter
is open. You can creat many interesting effects
by adjusting the shutter speed. A low shutter
speed blurs motion on the image. You can feel
the speed in the picture when the low shutter
speed is used for a shot.
A fast shutter speed is essential for capturing
the movement. A faster shutter speed froze the
subject in its movement.
