26. 2 Setting the Exposure Effect of Aperture and Shutter Speed Correct exposure of the subject is determined by the combination of shutter speed and aperture setting There are many correct combinations of shutter speed and aperture for a particular subject Different combinations produce different effects Effect of Shutter Speed The shutter speed determines the length of time that light is allowed to strike the CCD Adjust the amount of light striking the CCD e Using slower shutter speed If the subject is moving the image will be blurred because the shutter is open longer It is possible to enhance the effect of motion rivers waterfalls waves etc by intentionally using a slower shutter speed aouaiajay UOUNJ l e Using faster shutter speed Choosing a faster shutter speed will allow freezing the action of a moving subject A faster shutter speed also helps preventing camera shake G x KAA O IC o Effect of Aperture Adjust the amount of light hitting the CCD by changing the aperture Opening the aperture reduce the aperture value Objects closer and farther than the focused subject will be more out of focus For instance if you take a picture of a flower against a landscape with the aperture open the landscape in front and behind the flower will be blurred emphasizing only the flower Closing the aperture increase the aperture value The range in focus expands
