When u take ur friend picture vs your friend take ur picture

This is actually a better example of how shutter speed affects video than stills. 24 frames per second 1/50th sec exposure interval in the cinematic standard. Video camcorders use 30 frames per second. Both create some blur which matches the perception by eye. As frame rate increases and shutter duration decreases note how the movement the action freezes and the hands become jittery looking.

A better example for stills would be a subject like a water fall / rapids or shot of her running across the frame with camera panning to keep her composed in the same plane which creates a non-distracting blurred background and streamer effect behind subject at conveying movement at slow shutter speeds

60 and 30 look good show motion and emotion

it's good you are shooting outside and bright too. But you should add also the ISO that is inversely proportional to the Shutter Speed.

This is why a lightning fast camera is necessary for wildlife photography. Gotta catch them critters at just the right moment 😂

What lens mm you are using? Because they said it depends on the lens mm

If you're planning to shoot photos of kids, go 1/250, trust me, that's the magic number.

Multioptions if possible

Increasing the shutter speed is making the screen black, any idea ?

is it good 1/50 sutterspeed for 30fps?
