Fast Shutter Speed Slow Shutter Speed
Because the shutter speed controls the duration of exposures, it
also determines how moving subjects will appear in the final
image.
Use a slow shutter speed to blur the motion of your subject. Use a
fast shutter speed to stop the motion of your subject. In addition
to stopping action, fast shutter speeds can help prevent blur
caused by camera movement during the exposure.
