But the pleasure in making photographs and the joy of capturing a magical moment cannot be compared. The guide is an introduction to some basic photographic principles.
31 The shutter controls not only exposure, but also the ability to stop motion. Fast shutter speeds are used in sport photography to stop action. Slow shutter speeds can be used to show the flow of motion such as water cascading over a waterfall. The use of a tripod is recommended with slow shutter speeds.

The following notation is used: The reciprocal is used for shutter speeds from 1/2000 second to 1/3 second. 125 is 1/125 second. For shutter speeds of a half a second or longer , a quote mark is used to denote whole seconds.
42 A DV ANCED OPERA TION EXPOSURE COMPENSA TION Camera exposure can be changed by as much as ± 3.0 Ev to make the final image lighter or darker . For information on Ev , see page 31. Exposure compensation can only be used with program, aperture- priority , and shutter-priority exposure modes.
43 –2.0Ev –1.0Ev Metered exposure Exposure compensation is used when the camera’ s exposure meter is deceived by high-key or low-key subjects. For example, a very bright scene, such as a snowy landscape or a white sandy beach, can appear too dark in the final image.
