ISO & Shutter Speed

Consumers can really play with this camera a lot. There are quite a few program modes wherein u can use ur creativity and produce better images. I pronounce this from experience I’m gathering by using this equipment.

In this connection I would highly appreciate and welcome advices on the relationship between shutter speed and ISO. Both seem to work with capturing mobile objects but unsure when to use what and how!

Well, that's the issue here. ISO. The more ISO, the more noise is invited to the party. This is the main issue with point and shoot cameras that have tons of MP stuffed onto a CCD chip. Not so bad with a 9MP camera, however. But you don't want to overdue the ISO if you can get there by opening the aperture wider or slowing down the shutter speed (which may lead to needing a tripod in low light settings due to camera shake).

Thnx buddy. I thought wider aperture should b supplemented by a fast shutter speed; that’s what my camera does automatically in Av mode in bright lights. But for night shots; it reduces the speed to around 1/5 to 1/10 when I set the aperture at say 3.2 to 4.0. One example. Yesterday at 11.22 am in bright sunshine I captured a flying passenger aircraft vertically over my head (appx 300 meters) in Av mode set at 4.0. The camera auto set the shutter speed at 1/1000 and the shot was taken nicely. The auto ISO was 80 and WB was also set in auto. I’ll keep on experimenting and let u know more on what’s happening. Again, u have been of great help buddy.

Thank you for your continuos support.
