Understanding Shutter Speeds




High Shutter Speed





Low Shutter Speed


Shutter speed is the amount of time the shutter is open.  A larger shutter speed means that the shutter is open for a longer period of time, therefore letting more light in.  You should use a larger shutter speed if you are in a setting with less light.  A smaller shutter speed means the shutter is open for a shorter amount of time, therefore less light is let in, it should be used in an area with a lot of light.  If you have a larger shutter speed, you will also have a larger aperture.
