How it works
72) and
When to use it
Best choice in most circum-
stances.
High shutter speeds freeze ac-
tion. Low shutter speeds sug-
gest movement by blurring
moving objects.
Large apertures (small f/-num-
bers) soften background de-
tails and let more light into
camera, increasing range of
flash. Small apertures (large f/
-numbers) increase depth of
field, bringing main subject
and background into focus.
Use when you want complete
control over exposure.
