What is Shutter Speed?

Shutter speed is the one camera setting that controls whether your subject is frozen in time or blurred into motion and it affects both your photos and your video footage completely differently.
In this video I break down everything you need to know: what shutter speed actually is, how the numbers work, when to use fast vs slow, the 180-degree rule for cinematic video, the panning technique for motorsports, and the handheld reciprocal rule so your shots stay sharp.
By the end you'll stop guessing and start deciding.
