Shutter speed

SHUTTER SPEED

Shutter speed can either make your image blurry or sharp and clear. As soon as you shoot a photo the shutter will open and expose the camera sensor to the light that passes through the lens aperture. Depending on what speed to chnage it too the shutter will close after a certain amount of time and stop the light exposing the sensor. The button on the camera that is used to take the picture can also be called the shutter, this is because when this button is pressed it will cause the shutter to open and close.

If the shutter speed is fast it will catch the photograph clearly and it will appear so you can see the picture, but if you set the shutter speed to slower it will cause something called motion blur meaning photos you take that are moving objects will have a blurred effect.
