Shutter speed The inverse rule 1/60th
handholding 1/125 walking 1/500 running 1/1000
aircraft. Panning 1/60.
30
Blur due to lack of focus. Make sure you focus
the lens before you take the picture. Some
cameras do this Automatically but it is not
failsafe.
31
Blur due to handshake. On average, people can
hold a camera steady for no less than 1/60th
second. Some specialised lenses will allow you
to handhold for longer periods these are
called image-stabilised or vibration-reduction
lenses. One lens element moves in the lens to
counteract the jogging movement in your hand.
32
Blur due to subject moving fast - Red Arrows
Shot at 1/60s
33
Red Arrows Shot at 1/250s Still not that sharp
need 1/500s!
34
Aperture lenses Larger aperture smaller
number, Narrow zone of focus. f1.4/ f8 /f11/
f16 (Depends on lens distance from subject.)

Bright sunlight Use hood and flash to lighten
shadows

exposure for landscapes. Highest quality
files. Avoid in-camera styles.
