How to Choose a Shutter Speed
The shutter controls exposure by the length of time it remains open. The basic
function of shutter speed is to provide correct exposure, but you can also use it to
control the expression of your subject’s motion and to control the effect of camera
movement.
11.1
Freezing Motion
The faster the subject is moving, the higher the shutter speed required to stop the
action. To freeze the motion of a pedestrian, for example, choose a speed of at least
1/60 sec.; for a moving car, as fast as 1/1000 sec. The motion of the motorcycle in
this photo was frozen at 1/2000 sec.
