This camera offers various possibilities for visual
expression by changing the shutter speed.
High shutter speeds can be used to "freeze" a
moving subject to give sharp definition of the image.
Shutter speeds of 1/2000 ~ 1/500 sec. can "stop" the
movement of a considerably fast moving subject. A
shutter speed of about 1 /250 sec. will be enough to
shoot a child at play, if he is not moving too quickly.
There are two methods for giving dynamic expres-
sions. The first one is to blur out the movement of the
subject itself, thereby creating a moving image. The
second one is to pan the camera according to the
movement of the subject. While the background is
blurred, the subject is sharply defined to create a
moving image.
*ln using slow shutter speeds, it is necessary to guard
against camera shake. We will suggest a very
practical method for choosing shutter speeds.
Generally, shutter speeds of which denominator
value is larger than the focal length value of the lens
used are good for preventing camera shake. If you
are using a 50mm lens, for example, shutter speeds
of 1/60 sec. or higher are best; and if you are using
a 200mm lens, shutter speeds of 1/250 sec. or
higher are best.
