Exposure

Shutter Speed The amount of time for which the camera shutter remains open defines the shutter speed.

The shutter serves two purposes: Controlling the duration of the exposure: (Low Light or Bright Light) Controlling the subject movement: (Fast movement or slow movement)

High Shutter Speed : Shutter open for a very short time. Less light comes in. Low Shutter Speed : Shutter remains open for a longer period. More light comes in. Representation of Shutter Speed

High Shutter Speed :

Shutter open for a very short time.

Less light comes in.

Low Shutter Speed :

Shutter remains open for a longer period.

More light comes in.

Day time : high shutter speed to avoid over exposure. Capturing fast moving subjects: high shutter speed. Low light conditions : slow shutter speed to allow more light.
