What setting to use when shooting moving object without blurring, using canon powershot s2is?
I’m new to the world of digital photography and the manual for the camera seems a bit greek to me. The camera takes great pictures, although I need to learn alot more about the different settings and such.
If you want to take motion stopping photos you need to get your shutter speed to be as quick as 1/300 of a second. If the subject you are shooting is traveling from one side of you to the other side (perpendicular to your camera) you will need a shutter speed as fast as 1/500 of a second.
The way to “force” your camera to take a shot at this shutter speed is to set the creative control dial on the top of your camera to Shutter Priority. It will usually be the Ts setting. Set the shutter speed to either 300 for 1/300th of a second or 500 for 1/500th of a second. The camera will shoot at this motion stopping shutter speed and will automatically set your aperture for you when you press the shutter button to take your picture.
Good Luck!
