Shutter Speeds 

Avoid slow shutter speeds without a tripod. Don't take photographs with slow shutter speeds, as this will make pictures blurry. With manual cameras choose a shutter speed that is close to the focal length of the lens but do not go below 1/60 without using a tripod.

The Shutter speed settings (Time Value) can offer freezing or blurring effects, but these can only be used with the correct corresponding Aperture setting in order to keep the exposure from being too dark or too light. Fast shutter speeds (1/1000; 1/500) freeze action, while slow shutter speeds (1/8; 1/2 ) blur action. The ' B' setting is for exposures longer than one second.
