Freeze movement
Sharp action
A very short exposure catches a moment before it can move. The faster the subject, the faster the shutter has to be.
How to get it
- 1
Use a fast shutter speed: 1/500s for children, 1/1000s or faster for sport.
- 2
A fast shutter lets in less light, so open the aperture and let ISO rise.
- 3
Use continuous autofocus so the camera keeps up with the subject.
