How do I change the shutter speed for the new Canon 50D? On automatic it is at 1/60 right now. But when I go to TV mode, it can go much higher than that. How do I change the shutter speed on my automatic shooting? It seems as though all my pictures are a little blurry, and not up to great picture quality. How can I make it better?
Thanks!
Canon 50D shutter button speed question?
In Auto mode, you have no control of the camera/ lens at all. Everything choose itself. You have no say. If you want to get a good enough shutter speed, go to the TV mode, and choose a Focal length reciprocal to the focal length of the lens. For example, if you have a 200mm lens, you'll need at least a 1/200 Speed. If you're in Dim light, this could easily be impossible. I suggest, you use the M mode, and get complete control of the camera/lens. Auto mode doesn't make the right choices, and the Av and Tv modes aren't Good enough for me.
Try using the flash, but you can't change the Shutter speed in the Automatic mode, in TV if you choose a higher shutter speed that what it appropriate, you'll get a dark image ( over exposed ) Just because the number can go up and up, doesn't mean it'll work. You have a lot to learn aaboutthe Canon 50d.
Canon 50D shutter button speed question?
First of all nice purchase... I really want one of those to upgrade from my xti. To increase shutter speed its either the big wheel on the back or the smaller one up near the shutter button. A good idea for these types of questions is the owners manual, many people underestimate it. Good luck and have fun with the new camera!
Oh dear. It seems you have purchased more camera than your photo skills can handle.
You may find taking a class in photography will reduce your frustration a lot.
Using a DSLR in its %26quot;Program mode%26quot; is not going to give you the same results a P%26amp;S camera does. Your fine camera is totally adjustable and until you know how and when to use various shutter speeds and apertures (as well as ISO and white balance settings), you may find the 50D overwhelming.
Go to your library an look for the book, %26quot;50 Fast Digital Camera Techniques%26quot; by Kevin L. Moss. It has a lot of good skills you can learn until you can take a class or two in photography
I don't mean to be mean,but you have a LOT to learn if you don't know the answer to that question.
You have a fantastic camera, now quickly get out a whole bunch of books on photography so you that you'll be able to make the most out of your equipment.
You will be glad you did - no more blurry photos for you in the future.
