How to choose shutter speed according to different scenes

In the process of photography? The setting of camera shutter speed is very important. Shutter speed is to control the time when light is projected onto the film. Only by setting it properly can the most satisfactory exposure effect be achieved. Unfortunately, many photographers are very upset because they can't achieve satisfactory results in this respect. Let me talk about how to set the shutter speed in different scenes.

1 and 1/2 seconds: use a camera stand (such as a tripod). Suitable for using small aperture to obtain large depth of field and sufficient exposure (such as spotlight or photographic lamp lighting) in dim light. Suitable for shooting inanimate objects and still objects.

1/4 seconds: use the camera bracket. This is the slowest shutter speed suitable for taking portraits of adults. Under dim light conditions, it is appropriate to use a small aperture to obtain a large depth of field and sufficient exposure. Suitable for stable objects.

1/8 seconds: use the camera bracket. It is more suitable for shooting adults in a limited range than using the shutter speed of 1/4 seconds. Under dim light conditions, it is appropriate to use a small aperture to obtain a large depth of field and sufficient exposure. Suitable for stable objects.

115 seconds: use the camera bracket. When a standard lens or a wide-angle lens is installed on the camera, some people can take pictures with their hands if the camera can be held fairly smoothly during exposure. It is suitable to use a small aperture to obtain a larger depth of field and sufficient exposure in the case of dim light.

1/30 seconds: This shutter speed is the slowest shutter speed recommended when shooting with a hand-held camera equipped with a standard lens or a wide-angle lens. In order to get high-definition photos, the camera must be held very smoothly. This shutter speed is suitable for most live light photography. It is appropriate to use a small aperture in cloudy weather or shadows to obtain a large depth of field.

1/60seconds: This shutter speed is suitable for taking photos in cloudy weather, shadows and other outdoor sunshine conditions. This speed is useful for using a small aperture to increase the depth of field. This shutter speed is also used in places with bright spots. With this shutter speed, camera shake and shooting failure are less than with the shutter speed of 1/30 seconds. Flash synchronization for SLR cameras.

1/ 125 seconds: This is the best shutter speed for outdoor photos in the sun. Under bright light conditions, using a medium aperture to a small aperture can produce a good depth of field. Using this shutter speed can minimize the weak vibration of the camera itself. You can master some medium-speed movements, such as walking people, children's games or free-moving babies. For hand-held cameras, this speed is safe to some extent when shooting with a medium focal length lens with a focal length less than105 mm. This shutter speed is recommended for some SLR cameras to shoot with flash.

1/250 seconds: it is suitable for capturing medium-speed sports bodies, such as medium-speed runners, swimmers, cyclists, horses running a certain distance, parades, running children, sailing boats, baseball, football players playing at medium speed, etc. When you don't need a large depth of field, but mainly want to grasp the action, you can use this shutter speed in outdoor sunlight to minimize the vibration of the camera. Suitable for hand-held camera with 250mm focal length lens.

1/500 seconds: suitable for catching fast-moving animals, such as middle-distance athletes, running horses, divers, fast cyclists, running cars or running basketball players. This shutter speed can be used to capture all moving objects except the fastest speed.

11000 seconds: the best speed is to capture fast moving objects. Such as racing cars, motorcycles, airplanes, speedboats, outdoor and stadium competitions, tennis players, skiers and golfers. Because this shutter speed requires a larger aperture than other shutter speeds, its depth of field is the smallest. This is an excellent shutter speed when a hand-held camera is equipped with a long focal length lens with a focal length less than 400 mm.
