What is Shutter Speed? How it Works?
In the time of photography through Digital camera or in mobile phone camera’s pro mode, all of us may notice a function named by ‘Shutter speed’. Let see what is shutter speed. Shutter speed is the speed at which the camera’s shutter opens and closes to allow light to reach the sensor or film. Shutter speed is the duration, for which the iris is open, for that reason the light can pass on to the frame. The shutter speed can vary from say 8 seconds to 1/4000 second and even further under you control (till which time you want to keep open the iris) up to a setting called ‘Bulb setting’ or the ‘B setting’ (this feature only in digital cameras, not in cheap mobile phone). Now let’s know, how does it move!! If it is say for example 1/2000 second when it moves to 1/1000 second, it is double the amount of light, which is going into the frame, this moves in a particular order, for example, 1/4000th of a second, 1/2000th of a second, 1/1000th of a second, 1/500th of a second, 1/2
