Self Review Part 3 (What is shutter speed?)

1. Shutter speed refers to the amount of time that the aperture can remain open.

2. It is the speed at which the shutter of the camera opens and closes to allow the light.
(the longer the shutter speed, the more light enters the camera and reaches the sensor)

3. The main purpose of shutter speed is to determine the amount of subject movement that's recorded.
(fast shutter speed freeze movement, while slow speeds blur it)

4. Shutter speed indicates by the 1/x number.
Ex: 500 is equal to 1/500 of a second.

5. Fast vs slow shutter speed

a) 1/16 second would captured a blurred image of a fast moving object

b) 1/1000 second would freeze its movement
