Shutter Speed

The next fundamental of exposure we will explore is Shutter Speed.

By changing shutter speeds you not only control how long light enters the camera but also how motion is captured in your image.

Shutter Priority Mode is when you set the Shutter Speed of the camera and the camera sets the Aperture.





Set the camera to Shutter Priority by turning the Mode Dial to S



Use the Thumb dial to set the Shutter Speed.

Follow this link for a description of how shutter speed works.

Today we will use various shutter speeds to:
1. Freeze motion (fast shutter speed of 1/125 or higher)
2. Create a Motion Blur (Shutter speed of 1/15 or slower)
3. Track motion (shutter speed of 1/60
