Trade-offs with shutter adjustment

Chad Perkins: Shutter speed is another way to adjust exposure but I almost never fiddle with it. I usually keep it set at 1/50th of a second, because I usually shoot 24 frames per second. Sometimes if I shoot 30 frames per second I'll go up to 1/60th, and if I'm going to do slow motion, 60 frames per second, I would do 1/120th of a second, but these cameras typically only go to 1/125th of a second, so I leave it set there. And the reason why I don't adjust the shutter speed that much is because of how it affects the motion blur. Brian Liepe: Right, so motion blur is the streaking or smearing of quickly moving objects in a photograph or video. It's a totally natural thing and it smooths motion from frame to frame and even though it may not be obvious, our vision contains some motion blur.
