Shutter speed is one of the most important camera settings in digital photography. Only those who know how it affects the image can consciously use it as a creative tool.
Basically, of course, you have to deal with technical backgrounds in order to be able to take nice pictures. However, if you want to have more influence on your photos than just choosing the subject, you should definitely understand the meaning of different camera settings. An elementary setting, the effect of which every ambitious photographer must know, is the shutter speed.
What role does shutter speed play in exposure?
The shutter speed thus regulates how long light falls on the sensor. But what does that mean for the photographer? If he manually sets the shutter speed of his camera when taking a photo, he has a direct influence on the exposure of the photo. The shorter the exposure time, the less light falls on the sensor. The choice of time ensures whether an image is exposed dark or bright. If you set an exposure time that is too short or too long when taking pictures, you will receive an under-or overexposed picture as a receipt.
