DSLR Camera Shutter Speed Explained [Exposure Triangle]
Shutter Speed effects exposure, the ability to freeze images, and also how much light is coming in through your camera lens.
Shutter Speed not only controls how motion appears in your shots, but also how well it is exposed.
Mastering shutter speed is essential if you plan to shoot moving objects, events, action or sports. Being able to use this in manual is part of mastering the Exposure Triangle and getting the most out of your DSLR Camera.
Typically when you shoot at high shutter speeds you will want to shoot at a higher ISO to compensate for the lack of light coming in through the shutter since its closing so fast. ISO is your camera’s sensitivity to light.
If increasing your ISO isn’t an option you will need a fast lens, like an f/2.8 or a prime lens like a f/1.8. These are wider apertures that will allow more light into the lens and are fixed aperture meaning that you can focus on adjusting the shutter speed since the aperture is consistent no matter how much you zoom.
When shooting with a slower shutter speed, such as when you are shooting DSLR video, you will want the ISO to be as low as possible. In truth you usually want this anyway to reduce grain.
If it is vary bright out and you can’t increase your shutter speed enough and increasing your aperture isn’t an option, you can utilize an ND filter. This will remove several “stops” of light and allow you to expose correctly while getting the type of shot you want.
